Mocked? i said why would you expect there to be punishment? because he plays for Wigan and he knocked a saints player out by accident?

Yes the " " and question "why would he?" Like it was the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard.

Because clearly it was an accident and you would never be banned for that.

That doesn't mean other people aren't entitled to theirs.

IF there was any serious intent, Wellens and the club would have taken it further, he was asked if he wanted to proceed and said No! matter should be closed.

Give over. You can claim it was a nothing incident, but it was a bad one. The fact that he's fallen into it may mitigate it to some extent, but it was still reckless and it's not like he backed out one he realised it was the face he was impacting on. The subsequent chest banging and back slapping was worthy of a ban on its own.

None of that is true apart from the fact that he fell into the tackle. The rest is quite pathetic...

Why? You think high fives and back slaps are in order when you knock a teenager out with an illegal challenge (Intended or not)?

I blame the parents/guardians. What were they thinking, letting a poor teenager play rugby against those naughty Wigan players?

I'm surprised Social Services aren't involved!

First of all you're conveniently ignoring the rest of the trash you posted to concentrate on a single point. Care to defend the rest of the garbage you posted? As for the 'high fives and back slapping deserving a ban'... Good God! Are you for real? I almost feel ridiculous posting a reply, but go on, I'll humour you. The celebrations, as you very well know, were for the tackle. Anyone with even the most basic understanding of rugby would understand that, were it not for the player slipping, this is exactly what O'Loughlin put in. Check out the initial reactions of the commentators for confirmation if you are really unable to see this for yourself (which I doubt!). To even suggest it was for 'knocking a teenager out' is...well, let's be honest...simply making things up and does the players, the game in general and, not least, yourself a disservice! Let's just say this post wasn't your finest hour and move on.
