watching the game tonight, Sneyd knocks on, seconds later sneyd fowled, penalty to Hull, lets ignore the first offence, ok lets say the ref offered advantage , but it was just a second, can you immagine in any other sport awarding a penalty retrospectively?
imagine soccer, a forward receives the ball in the defences penalty area, he is clearly offside, and it is spotted, he is then tripped by a defender, the ref sees all this, and then awards the offside player a penalty, yeh right everyones ok with this.
l seem to recall El Salvador and Honduras going to war for less, RL is a joke

Taking some teeth out of a players face is not allowed just because they knocked on. If they don't offer a penalty in that situation what's to stop players smashing whoever knocked on in the face and getting away with it?

Foul play over-rides a technical offence.
We can't have players knowing they can do anything to a player who has just knocked on.

Foul play over rules a technical offence regardless of which occurs 1st.

That is just the rules, I think it is a sensible rule too.

This.

A third Wigan man in on almost every tackle after tackles been called is getting beyond a joke now

I didn't see much of that tonight to be fair.you had enough possession and attacking chances to win easily combined with thaler giving you lions share of penalty. Majority of penalties wigan received were in own half.thaler is very sniide in doing this.had a quick read of fc forum and many bemoaning thaler performance but hull got the better side of his calls for most part.its all about opinions and I only watched it on the box but any thaler refereed game he tries to be the star

Something no other team does...

It could be stopped in an instant if any player coming in, after the ref called "held", was penalised.
It would also speed the game up.

Over the last few years, it has become accepted that a level of wrestling or laying on after the tackle is complete, is ok.

Although todays RL is played at a faster pace "than the old days", the ruck area is a joke.

ln my opinion the assaulting player should have been put on report, yellow or red carded, then scrum for the knock on , both teams got what they deserved, anyway there will be a new set of rules again next season.
