KFC on richards was a deliberate attempt to hurt him. Im not saying that just because im a wigan fan its just true. Ok he didn't swing his arm back but he doens't need to. Look at his arm when he goes into it, its tense with a closed fist, ok the fist never made contact but it didn't need to if he was going into the challenge legitamtely why would he need a clenched fist?

Refs are never going to be able to win to be fair and in a way i think the finger has to be pointed at their superiors because they need to stop this flava of the month reffing. By that i mean last year grapple tackles were all the rage and now they dont seem to ever get punished, this year it crossing, refs are obviously been told to be harsher in certain areas of the game and thats wrong. Plus the fact the rules change nearly every season doesn't help i think if we want the standard of reffing to improve it needs to be simplified at a higher level and a clear and concise rule structure drawn up

Same rule... it's just the interpretation of 'lending weight to the tackle' which has changed.

see "interpretation" there should be a rule and thats it no interpretation required, same with all this bull about surrender and dominant, it should be "held" give 3-5 secs from then, a penalty if the players not released

Rob, totally serperate query. I seem to remember in the sands of time in my deteriorating old brain that the rules for the ingoals are different than the field of play. I always thought that in your in goal you could pass forward legally. Is that right? If so why can you knock on in your ingoal?
