That's fair enough as long as SOL and MM get their bans then it's fair.

I'd say leaning with the forearm will have slightly less ban than taking someone's head off and someone actually having a bite on a arm.


Wello - £300 fine

MM - 8 match ban

SOL - 3 match ban.

have you re watched that match yet? his arm hit the players head on the ground its hardly as if he has shoulder or elbowed the player intentionally. Also that comparison to the Meli tackle is completely stupid not even close to being the same.

We all know players never get punished for leading with a forearm just as its impossible to say McIlorum bite wellens on purpose as his forearm was being pushed into his face.

don't believe anybody will be banned.

Yes nobody will get banned. I remember the Bowen tackle that went without a ban

O'Loughlins was very similar to Soliolas v Wire in Saints first game of the season.

it doesn't matter if it's intentional biting or not. Even with wellens arm in his face, there is no requirement for his mouth to be open, or to clamp onto it (as is wellens reaction) - you can dress it up all you like, as intentional, not intentional, mm fancied a bite to eat and temporarily forgot he wasn't in a diner - they all carry E-F charges. "Accidental" biting (whatever that is, and I suppose what your claiming it is) will still be in the E grade. If wellens makes a complaint to the match commissioner at half time, that is the grade he should be facing.

Accidental biting


Only Wigan can claim that one.

If he hadn't of slipped though he wouldnt have been hit in the head. Still (and i dont agree with it but) shoulder charges are now banned

Re Wello. He shouldn't have given MM the forearm to the face, but MM shouldn't have bit him either.

We're not playing wendyball, if you give someone a forearm you can't whinge if he retaliates

First of all it wasn't a shoulder charge. The camera angle from the contact side clearly shows O'Loughlin's arm round the player. Neither did Silverwood call it as a shoulder charge. He says "I know the player was falling but you still have a duty of care" That's why he put it on report. As for trying to make it out to be anything more than an attempted tackle that he fell into...good God! You lot across that side of the lump are getting soft! Get a grip!

(The second part of the above isn't aimed at you Simon btw...just responding to your 'shoulder charge' claim. The rest is aimed at others on this thread)
