I didn't think it was that late, I'll have another look sometime later (wife has me in decorating mode ) It was a definite shoulder charge and worth a penalty, I'll go with whatever the disciplinary decides, that's their job.

What about the Wilkin incident on Charnley in the first half? Accidental?

Nice spin.

It was late and it was cowardly just admit it and stop trying to put a spin on it. I hope they throw the book at him.

Wigan are just a poor version of the old Bradford SL teams without Samantha - all about the biff and bash

The image Albion was referring to.

Point of the shoulder on skull. Could easily have killed him there.

I don't understand how he can bottle it. There's a massive screen showing replays! There is no excuse.

Re: When is a red card not a red card? : Tue Jul 23, 2013 2:23 pm  

That's the reason he IS a bottler, if no big screen you can genuinely say, not sure so i'll report it. The fact it's on tv, and replayed should have made it an easy decision but he didn't have the balls.

I actually agree with what someone said that any 'on report' sign from the ref should come with a sin bin.

I disagree.

For me, the "ON REPORT" is for an incident that the ref hasn't (clearly) seen and therefore cannot properly judge. The problem is that refs use it as a half way house to save them making big decsions.

Crazy decision. Can it be appealed.

BackrowSaint should email that photo to Saints and the RFL as it shows contact with the head.

The fact that he falls against well's bum cheek is neither here or there as he was already out cold.

So the RFL thinks that a should to should charge followed be brushing against someone's bum cheek is enough to knock someone out?
