However you define it, we don't want it in the game. We're going to end up with full on Premier League style rolling round the floor soon, it's slowly creeping in. The contact (If there was any) was jawline and below. Farrell goes down holding the top of his head, the ref is influenced by that and gives the penalty. He then dives up, suddenly and miraculously cured, smirking as he knows he's conned a penalty out of it. The second one was even worse as there wasn't any contact.

So he was banned but wasn't penalised during the game? Maybe Wigan should kick up a stink like Saints did last week

Exactly! Have you seen the tackle? Its an absolute joke. if it was the other way around and it was a wigan player receiving a ban for the tackle, I would defend them too.

Something needs to change.

However I define it he got smacked in the jawline (your words) is a penalty all day long that is how I define it and that is how the rules define it.

I do agree we dont need play acting a bit like Welsby did when he lift his standing leg up so he could milk a penalty a few games back.

The problem is Farrell is becoming a serial faker this season, went down to get a penalty in our semi final, then in the CC final went down against Huddersfield to waste time and get a penalty. Two incidents against saints last weekend we can give him the benefit of the doubt with one of them , but the other one was basically a touch on his right ear but wen down rubbing the top of his head, that was really embarrassing.

A bet Andy Farrell who won Man of Steel twice is embarrassed as well at these antics, many fans reccommend a Man of Plasticine award for the Faker or some form of White Card for this type of behaviour.

Would that be the one where Wigan didn't get a penalty, and the Hudds player received a 2 game ban?

No, goes down to easy its comical. No wonder Jonny Lomax was laughing at Farrell in the recent game, Lomax has a metal plate in his head, had 2 knee reconstructions, plays with one good arm, gets hammered every week but very rarely stays down. Farrell stayed down because he had some grass stuck to his bald head.

Well as pointed out by one of your fellow fans he doesnt like the petulance shown by Welsby,who has a past history of milking a penalty,maybe he should get a award aswell,or you cannot see past your prejudice as usual.

How about when he got up last season in the Grand Final rubbing his jaw when the tackle was across his shoulder?
