It will be mighty interesting to see how much club bias there is on the panel this week as well, does anyone know who it is? Wigan are very often well represented.

What a load of rubbish. If it had been our players upended on their heads you would have been bleating like mad if Wire had been let off. They were both bad tackles, regardless of whether they were deliberate or simply reckless. They both deserve bans because they both involved putting a player on their head. That is dangerous even when it's a Wire player being put on their head. (If it had been Wigan players, of course, that would have improved them no end)

Had someone else said this, you would be screaming for a ban.....

Wellens will be a big loss if any potential appeal fails. He has been more than solid in the last three games and we'll miss his experience (and refereeing ).

He's a loss but we've just got to get on with it. He broke the rules and IMO rightly is paying the price.

It's not bad when we can move makinson in who is more than a good enough replacement.
