If that hadn't been the GF, his first offence would have seen him off for 10 mins; the second one he's been doing his whole career - and should also have been more than a penalty. He's a grub.

Watch Charnley's try, Ratboy and Williams both go in with the knees. Williams on the back of Charnley's legs, Ratboy misses his head this time. The blatant time wasting against Cas in the semi final was a disgrace.

There has been a whole new wave of time wasting creeping in over the last season.
Players feigning injury, especially from drop outs, defensive scrums and penalties.
Sides have always wasted some time from these stoppages in play but, it's reached epidemic proportions this season and most sides are culpable, with players dropping to ground with a mystery injury, only to jump back to their feet when they feel that their side is "ready to go".
As for Tomkins knees, definitely deliberate and his look of fear after he connected, showed, not remorse for an accidental collision but, fear of being sent off and costing his side victory.
Just another of Wigans trademark plays. mind you, Charnleys looked deliberate later on as well

Both incidents should have warranted a yellow. Cheating and dirty play is part and parcel of the game. However we are supposed to be monitoring this sort of foul play while the game is going on. The ref and the video ref bottled both decisions. It would have been interesting to see if Wolves would have done more had the refs grown a pair.
