My thoughts, Leeds got the benefit of the 50:50 calls, but the knock on in the lead up to Moons try shouldn't have been missed, it was blatant and the Leeds fans by were in total agreement.
And what about when Flanders loses the ball with no Leeds player helping it out and it's pen to Wigan? Surely that is even within the game. It's just sour grapes from the Pies. All fans do it.
What's your take on Wigan's constant reefing out of the ball which gets given as a knock on. I'm sure that's all above board right ?

In fact, if you consider each offside, each laying on and each flop as a 50/50 then the fact of the matter is that Wigan were hugely favoured in the 50/50s. That the few Leeds benefited from turned out to be crucial has more to do with our teams relative strengths than anything else, because the officials gifted Wigan all the ball and field position you could possibly hope for.
IMO Leeds won despite the refereeing, not because of it.
Great post 100% bang on. The Pies are far too blinkered to see that.
Wane is a stone cold F*cking idiot!

The RFL have dealt with Wane in a similar way
"Hello, is that the RFL? It's Apeman Wane here. Sinfield knocked on, and the VR got it wrong" "Yeah, You're right. Thanks for your call. Speak soon. Goodbye"
Haha! That might (partly) explain why I am single when all my mates have been getting married the last few years. A life lesson right there. Is it not difficult doing that and biting your tongue though? I just can't resist the 'being right' part!

From refs having to buy their own kit to lack of help and assistance to not properly punishing and countering abuse of referees. IIRC Roy Haggerty posted his experience of the system not that long ago either on here or the VT and that has been pretty much backed up by the refs I've spoken to. I'm sure that system cannot do much to help bring through the next generation of top referees.

Seems an odd choice of vendetta for Ganson. Mind you, I always did wonder if he was wired up ok.

And then later admitted in the officials changing room that he was "glad he got that little pr*ck Burrow". Within earshot of a very reliable source with no axe to grind.
