No, I didn't and neither did you.

I see that Shaun Wane, speaking in the dressing room after the game, believes that Ablett's "thuggery", as you lot call it, was "clumsy" and "probably not malicious".

I'd guess that he realises that "thuggery" has never been part of Ablett's game.

Erm yes I Did at the game then when I watched it back I heard him say it!!

As for Ablett hes been charged with a category c RECKLESS challenge which is correct!!
Coley recieved a ban for his dangerous throw against you Im pretty sure Ablett will get a couple of games!!

Ganson had a poop game on friday, i dont think any sane individual can argue against ablett being sent off (well apart from ganson).

but the sin binning was a crucial cock up, Coley commited a foul (in the eyes of Ganson) 4 minutes of game time after after wigan had recieved a warning, so by the rules he had to sin binned.

however leeds recieve a warning for consistent penalties, 4 minutes later JJB piles into the Sam in the air, penalty awarded correctly but no sin bin?

i dont mind if refs bin players for a team consistantly giving away penaltys, but lets be consistant.

on a side note how out of his depth was alibert on saturday?

Agree with all that. Alibert was useless on Saturday, the incident where Graham 'politely' asked him to move probably shows what players think of him, he gets in the way all the time and does a little prance to avoid players running into him with varying success. If Wire had taken a quick tap, Graham would have been unable to see and could have easily conceded a try. Now the way he said it was totally uncalled for but he'd have more success 'pi**ing in the wind' than having a try disallowed because the ref was in the way. It was a far too quick and far too important game for a ref of his calibre.
