Listen to Ben Thaler's comments on the mic. They frustrated our attempts to play fast and should have been on a team warning, "I've had 3 in a short period of time. Also in that period as well, I've got players off side on the goal line, Address that situation pal or I'll take that further" Then why the FFFFF didn't you penalise them Thaler? Is it any wonder we get angry on the terraces then get lame warnings about aggressive language?

According to the wolves website they didn't do anything wrong we were messing about when they tried to play the ball & we were offside all match. Fans eh

The difference here is that it’s the match official that is telling them not the Wakey fans and the buck stops with him, well you’d have thought

Well, this is where we're at, its a cheating competition and Wire were just better at it when we had the ball.
This does not effect on how good they were at strolling down field on the back of quick pob's when they had it, it was purely a defense strategy that has to be policed by the ref.
I thought there were 2 occasion when they were constantly giving away penalties on their line (which is a defense strategy) and should have been on a team warning tbh, both times our attack petered out and we got nothing.
It ain't pretty I know but we dance to the refs tune.

Warrington are fast, but they are also playing at the area of cheating to get away with things/events by cheating hoping to gamble by getting away with more than what they get pulled for even if a team warning is issued & they still gamble which paid off.
However, when you read their opinions on their forum the fans, they blame Thaler as a cheat ???
Would two refs have stopped their mentality that they clearly train for ???
By the way i have posted before about Aussie coaches being so adept at this that they have players trained on all aspects of slow down.

Slowing the play down is not cheating. It's part of the game.
Just like tackling if you do it in a way that breaks the rules then you receive some kind of punishment.
Holding down until you give a penalty away to stop a certain try is cheating and gets a bigger sanction.

Cheating goes on off the field within the club not on it...
Players aren't cheats. Good grief man.

Them 1st tackle penalties are getting a regular thing in the game. Definitely a defensive strategy and most certainly cheating.
