The Lockers offside penalty : Mon Mar 12, 2018 11:44 am  

Was discussing it at the game, and I remembered this article from last year: http://www.seriousaboutrl.com/the-rfl-d ... ised-4656/ PLAYERS WHO DELIBERATELY THROW BALL AT DEFENDER TO BE PENALISED...

Just watched it on Wigan TV. It’s the most blatant you’ll ever see and it’s pure cheating. Really poor sportsmanship.

Referee should have just penalised Lockers in the first place for in the ruck.

His Hand/arm was trapped in the Wakefield players arm, the referee allowed them some time to unravel and waved play on.
When he did give the penalty after the Wakefield player threw the ball at o'loughlin he gave the penalty for hands in at the ruck!
He can't give that as a penalty once the game has moved on???

It was a penalty for being too long in the ruck for me, but you cant have a player stand look at the passing option then throw at the grounded player, worse than any of the plays pulled up last season

He was stood up blocking any play to the right.
Can't always get out the way I know but...seriously, he knew what he was doing just like he knew what he was doing with his hand " trapped" lol, as if.
I don't actually care which of those was penalized, but not doing anything about either of them didn't look like a option tbh.
Can't imagine what he spent so much time flappin his lips at the ref about, but that's the refs fault for being a pu55y I suppose.
I thought Wigan played a decent game, they needed to and they needed to get a few key decisions, some deserved some not, but that's the way it goes, so no complaints about the result, they inched out a tough 2 points there I reckon.

Utter rubbish!! Lockers was stood directly behind the acting half. He practically threw the ball towards his own sticks to hit Lockers. The pass both left and right was clear if he’d chosen not to cheat.

I said at the game the ref has to take in to consideration who he was aiming the pass at. Unless he was trying to throw it to the Wakefield fans it was blatant cheating.

Micky Mac got the Catalans winning penalty against HKR doing the same thing

He was stood to the right when Randell received the ball at ahb from Kirmo, right in the f00kin way, but that's what he's paid to do, right?.
I mean, he could have stayed down and not interfered, but no, he's gonna stand up right there because that's how wakey are set up for the next play.
Randell tried to go around the front of him but the play was already fuxxed up by 2 instances of interference, he feigned a pass to Grix, I say feigned because it clearly wasn't designed to be a pinpoint pass, it was designed to sort the 5h1t out one way or the other, and it did.
Whether it was or wasn't "cheating" seems besides the point, I know anything short of an 8 point penalty try for wigan will leave you giving it the big boo hoo's but back in the real World, Lockjaw was doing all the 8u1151t, were it not for his interference both in the tackle and at the pob, nobody would have been chucking the ball at him.
He spun the wheel against the odds and lost that one, but not the game, eh
