Big topic for me this so far this season, been quite vocal about the lack of quality and consistency from the officials .
James Child's was awful officiating in the Hull Wigan first game, total lack of consistency with decisions, Connors penalty/Batemans shove to Cators face, set restarts, high tackles.
Watched Saints/Huddersfield last night and he was at it again , Watson has echoed what a few of us have been seeing, my question is their a biased towards the big teams when it comes to decision making?

Saints have conceded more penalties than anyone else this season and Wigan are fifth. Last year Wigan were the most penalised team and with Warrington had the most yellow cards. Three of the six most penalised players last year were from Saints or Wigan.
That said the officiating needs looking at, the game is perhaps too fast these days for one referee especially when it comes to checking offsides.

Are the 6 against counted on the penalty stats? They seem to be a big factor too this year.

I'm of the opinion that this season Ref's seem to pick out 1 team (whoever that may be) and batter them with 6 again or penalties. At half time the 4th official points out just how one sided it has been and they then try to even it up in the 2nd half.
