Same for me. I was certain Laffranchi would face a ban as that was a bad tackle. But for the life of me I can't remember what Wello did to attract a ban, other than flap his arms and screem at the ref to a highly embarrassing degree.

He had Briers upside down in a tackle,and given the letter of the law it was a dangerous position

| Bit of a blow to lose both, Wellens is proving the critics wrong (including myself) with some strong performances in recent weeks. Laffranchi has been good all season, a really astute signing.
TP in for Laffranchi isn't a problem though and hopefully Wheeler should come in to strengthen us in the backs. Makinson to step in at full back to keep the half backs the same.

| For me I'd put Makinson in at Full Back.
Wheeler back in the centre to Meli.
Puletua at 2nd Row and rotate Clough, Perry, Magennis and LMS at prop. May help to bring TP/Soliola at prop at some point to add a bit of grunt

I've just watched the first bit back again and I must have been looking away from the TV when it happened as it was pretty obvious really. Hate to say it but it deserves a ban. Very stupid by Wello.
I can't say I have a problem with either of the bans, other than we will obviously be two players short. But we beat Wigan in the playoffs last year with half the first team out so I'm sure the coaching collective can cope.

| Surely Wellens good record will count for something, has he even been infront of the panel before?
He had a no case to answer last year, so it went no further than a report.
Had 2 similar cases in 2010 with no case to answer.
So has never actually been to a tribunal before. Although I don't know how far back the electronic records go. With that kind of record a letter and a slap on the wrists should be sufficient if the tackle was with him on his knees.
No idea what La Franki has as an NRL record, but he could take a guilty plea and one match and be back for Cas

| Very strange that the majority of players cited are from the games that have been televised this weekend. Do the panel watch all games or just a select few.

Exactly what I posted.
If banned then we can't complain.

| Wellens is trying to steal the ball isn't he? I've just watched it back and there is no way he intends to do that. Briers only lifts up as he digs his studs in and drives them forward. It's a nothing incident.
Laffranchi's isn't bad either. He isn't lifted high off the floor and lands on the middle of his back between his shoulder blades. In the good old days it would have been a letter about his technique and a fine. There were worse high shots that went unpunished and Morley's elbow on Perry which again has been ignored. Briers' grapple tackle on Wellens was also as bad as Wello's on Briers.

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)

| Disappointing to lose both but neither is insurmountable given that they've missing a few of their n00bs.

I'm not saying they weren't dangerous, I'm questioning the intent. You can get away with not being banned if you didn't intend to cause harm, which neither did. Someone mentioned Wellens has never been before the disciplinary committee before. Given Ryan Bailey escaped a ban about 94 times because he'd never previously been banned, I'd say it would be mighty harsh to ban him for that.
They both had until 11 this morning to register their guilty pleas, any news about that happening?

| Have they both pleaded guilty or are they going to appear before the panel of officials?
