The Wigan vs HKR and then Hull vs HKR games interested me. If you didn't know which way around it was, you would presume when HKR lost by 16, they would've given away 10 penalties and when they won by 14, they would've given away just the 3 but it was the opposite way around. You would also think a team making you back pedal, busting you open, making ground etc would make you give away more penalties but again the stats don't back that up. The below stats are what Hull FC and Wigan came up with in attack against HKR-

Hull FC
Metres-1171
Tackle Busts-26
Clean breaks-4


Penalties Received-10


Wigan
Metres-1576
Tackle busts-55
Clean breaks-5


Penalties Received-3

Maybe it is something to do with the no. of Wigan refs who've joined the senior panel over the last few years and even if it's just subconsciously they don't want to be thought of as favouring Wigan.
I honestly don't think it's that big of an issue because the stats show we're the least penalised team in the league, if we were getting caned every week whilst receiving next to nothing then that would be a different matter.
