I thought Farrimond wasn't really able to have an impact on the game last night, so we were pretty short in terms of creativity (yet still had a few opportunities that were missed by small margins). Despite his fumble leading to a Leeds try, I thought Douglas played well. He seems to punch above his weight when carrying out from the back.

You’ve had Alex Ferguson in to motivate the team before, why don’t you get him back to have a word with the ref’s bosses. Better still, you could buy him a shed load of chewing gum and have him stood on the touch line every week going purple in the face. My guess why you’re penalised so much would be slowing down the play the ball, offside etc.  You don’t seem a particularly dirty team at the moment, just lots of regular low level infringements.

I would say you were getting a much faster play the ball then we were permitted on Saturday night, some of it was earned as you were playing on the front foot but some of it felt excessive.

By god your fans can moan too. Congrats on the win though regardless, the deserved team did win on the night even if it was by a lucky head of the ball and questionably given conversion.

Maybe read the 'Discipline' thread and comment there. You'll see that we actually don't get penalized more than other teams. We lose the penalty counts because other teams get penalized less when playing us than when they play any other team in the league. Which means they're either all changing the way they play (highly unlikely, I think you'll agree) or something irregular is going on. We lose penalty counts even when comprehensively beating teams. I believe Huddersfield didn't have a single penalty awarded against them recently even though we thrashed them and were on the front foot. Highly unusual, no?

First things first, this isn't anything to do with Leeds or your win on Saturday. It was deserved and I've no issues with that but as Phuzzy says above, I've posted in the discipline thread just how strange our games are in comparison to pretty much every one across the league. We've had 8 penalties in 5 games, which even the biggest Wigan hater in the world would say is unusual! We don't give away many either and in fact are the least penalised team in the league with 16 but we still lose every penalty count pretty much. Using Saints games as a comparison, they've been given 33 penalties and given away 23, so there have been 56 penalties in their games. In our 5 games there have been 24 penalties in total, so a difference of 32 penalties. It's like we're playing a different sport. 

Fergie's face would be more than purple, it would be in a thousand pieces on the Old Trafford touchline.
