After posting last night that it feels like we're on the wrong end of penalty counts most weeks, I thought I'd have a look at what we've given away and what we've been given this season and it's all a bit strange. We've given away the least amount of penalties in the league but we still lost the penalty count pretty much every week. We've given away 16 but only been given 8 in 5 games! That is unbelievable. 


Our record of 3 wins and 2 defeats, including some big wins and close defeats is the same as Saints. In their 5 games they've been given 33 penalties and conceded 


Why are our games so different to the norm? What do teams do differently against us that means they don't get penalised? (Huddersfield gave zero against us, Leigh 1 and Leeds 1). There must be reasons behind it and it's something Peet and the staff need to look in to because it's absolutely startling that we've had only 8 penalties in 5 games, especially when we've battered 3 teams. 

Interesting to see Peet commenting that yet again we didn't receive one 6 again in the match. Hard to believe that Saints didn't lie on just a little too long just once in that game. 


Haven't seen the stats but I would hazard a guess that we received a pretty low pens for again.

Pens Wig 4-5 Saints. Can't find 6 agains but I can't remember many either way during the game
Edit, 6 agains were Wig 0-3 Saints, taken off RV Good Friday thread

To be fair to saints I don?t remember many times when they were messing in the ruck or slow but I could say the same for us

It's far easier complaining after big wins. We continue to lose penalty counts and opposition sides continue to have their best disciplinary displays of the season against us. The six agains are the biggest bug bear at the minute. A side getting none should be a side who doesn't cause opposition teams many problems in attack and who are easy to defend against. Teams are scrambling to slow down an attack involving Field, Marshall, French, Nsemba etc and are as clean as a whistle 'every single week'.

We didn't get any 6 agains v Leeds (a) but at least one against HKR as Harry scored from it. None on Friday.
So that's one 6 again in four hours of Rugby!


I'd like to hear Mr Bentham's view on that!
