Wigan doing the first tackle penalty give away game too.
Then doing the last tackle injury fake. Every sneaky legal cheat trick under the sun that they always get away with every week to eat minutes to win a game.
Baron von Greenback said after they lost at home to Hull a few weeks ago that they're not a big powerful team or a team of flair, they're a team of details and they didn't get the details right and that's why they lost.
Their details are all the dark arts of the game. They're the worst team I've ever seen for it. Maybe only Jose Mourinho's Madrid and Chelsea (second time around) teams in association football are comparable. Every single little niggle or cheat they can do, they do it. And they do so much of it, only a certain percentage will ever get penalised or not penalised for the opposition.
Now Sam "look I'm being held down(when he's not)" Tomkins is back it'll only get worse. Their worst two players for it - Farrell and O'Lie-on - didn't even play the other night. So only expect it to get worse when those players come back.
