Maybe you're losing penalty counts because you're transgressing more than the opposition?  Just a thought

i think most fans would accept losing some penalty counts but every week, even when Wigan are dominant, it doesn't make sense. Why when a side is well on top and dominant would they concede penalties

NK has provided examples where for example Salford have averaged 9 penalties conceded every week, but against Wigan only conceded 3. Wigan were dominant in that game, so you would expect Salford to concede more, and certainly more than Wigan Similar with the league game v FC earlier in the season, Wigan dominated that game but were on the end of the penalty count


i know i would prefer winning games v penalty counts, but there is no doubt that it can have an influence on the result of a game, especially if every week penalty / set restarts are stacked up against a team. I think in the game v Leeds which we lost it was a stacked penalty count and 3 set restarts (note i'm not saying that is the reason we lost but could have been a contributing factor)

Wigan are still the least penalised club in SL.We lose the pen count each week as the referee penalises our opposition less when they play Wigan than when they play other teams. The penalty data shows this. eg Both Leigh and Hudds played at the Brick and neither club conceded a single penalty. Just look at both their penalty counts against other oppositions.


That referees treat Wigan's opposition team differently than they usually do against other SL teams seems to be a claim backed up by the data.

We've had that line already. Maybe you can be the first person to say it who will give a view on why we get so few penalties? We got 3 at your place, when we were totally dominant, we got zero against Huddersfield, when we were dominant, we got 3 against a Salford reserve side, who had given away 9 a game and 12 on opening night and so on and on. We've had 3 fixtures this season were we got either 1 penalty or zero. That Is utter madness. 

This isn't about losing penalty counts in reality or what we give away, it's about what we get and I've yet to see an opposition fan come back with a view on that, other than to say 'tough'.  


BTW-You've had 49 penalties in 8 games, compared to our 18. You've had 16 penalties in your last 2 games. HKR gave away 10 against you last week, in a game they won reasonably comfortably. They gave away 3 in a game they lost the week before against us. 

You really haven't understood this at all, have you? This is not about how many we give away but about how many we receive. Please explain how we're responsible for other teams discipline and how many penalties refs give against other teams? 

And just to answer your question; we aren't transgressing more than other teams. We're the least penalised team in the league.
