Highlight of the Meli incident. Watching Hohiah walk back after Hall makes the break. No effort, no passion, no desire, no commitment = one of the highest earning members of our squad. It's absolutely sicking. I wish he was still on twitter because i for one would tell that over paid, overated piece of s*it to do one out of our club.

Lance got run through and past on so many occasions, I bet Meli was wishing he had an under 16 to help him out today.

It was bad, I reckon 4 matches, with 3 for an early guilty plea and we will see him come August after his arm is fixed.

The ban is irrelvant in terms of effecting the Saints side as he will be out longer with the busted arm. The red served it's purpose.

The more i see it , the more convinced i am that it was deliberate.
Meli clearly lines Hall up . launches and swings.
He should get a very lengthy ban .
He wont , of course.

I didn't see the game yesterday but just watched the replay. It was the worst I've seen in a long time. He'll get 3 games but it won't be a ban really due to his injury.
Should be medically passed fit then the ban should be implemented

In what? The break was made, in open play with many meters to prepare. There was very little step and yet Meli threw the arm, at head hight and even managed a bit of a jump to swing his forearm right into the opposing players jaw.

Clumsy would have been a last minute instinctive attempt, not a hint of that in what was on TV.

Time to take your Red Vee glasses off?

Don't be silly, how can you only implement the ban when fit?

He,s just been passed to play next week, albeit with heavy strapping.........

Because the schmuck got himself injured through his own foul play so he'll be out injured for the duration of any ban implemented (if his injury is as bad as feared) and as such a ban will be pointless. Make the ban effective by banning him when he's fit to play.........silly!

Ban him straight away then........my point still stands though, sort of .

And how can you totally justify any injury? Any player/club can fake injuries that the medical people can't be 100% sure on, like back Inuries.

If your silly idea ever becomes a rule, I'll run down the favoured road of your choice in the full Wigan kit shouting I'm a pie chomper.

It will never ever happen, its a a childlike pathetic silly idea.

I wouldnt even respond - half the clowns on here screaming for a ban are just trolls and the ones that arnt have probably never pulled on a shirt so have no idea how easy it is to make a clumsy tackle or just stick your arm out. It looks far worse because Meli is so damned big and strong

Meli hasn't got a aggressive bone in his body, never mind a dirty one.

He caught him high, it was not deliberate but was a bad one. Nobody can complain, it was 100% sending off and deserves at least 4 match ban.

To say his ban should start when he's fit is pretty laughable

Totally agree. I think people struggle with understanding the difference between dirty and clumsy which is odd as it's clear to me e.g. Terry Newton attacking Sean Long was just plain dirty as he intended to hurt him.
