I certainly think they made allowances for the derby when reviewing the Saints and Warrington game. Wellens' ban was utterly ridiculous, why it was even cited is beyond me. A nothing incident if there ever was one. Briers trying to steal a penalty, Wellens doing very little and Laffranchi gets a player to 91 degrees and dumps him on his back and is also cited. Wigan had spent a lot of time crying about their enormous injury crisis and I'm sure the RFL took the derby into account then.
