I've only just seen the challenge. Any defence of it is completely laughable, any tackles like that should be red carded without question.

you dont get much worse than a late high swinging arm when the player your 'attacking' has their back turned. Cowards tackle.

He's making a habit of blindsiding people. He punched Elima from the side too, a similar angle to the much berated Magennis punch on Tuson.

Late, high, pre-meditated, dangerous, cowardly or all of the above as i prefer.
Got lucky by not breaking Boof's jaw.

Has been given a Grade C which basically means "reckless" and 1-3 games.
Nice to see the RFL saw the bright side of it and not the cocked arm and major impact with the forearm and Boof's face. There was impact on the shoulder first that i didnt see very well????!

Perry was also a huge moron dropping on Lima, riled them up nice and good however. Silly and surprised he didnt get a letter telling him off.

Dudson also got away with a cheap one on LMS when he dumped him head first after LMS had offloaded. Oh and factor in St Sam of Tomkins left swing at Jones and the officials missed a few.

Reckless? It could only been more premeditated had he been punching him repeatedly in the face!

If he got 3 matches then if Wigan win their first game he is out for the GF, if they lose he could be back for the GF, if they get that far?

Didn't someone on here say they were going to try and scam it, and have his ban count towards some U20 games?

That is the most honest open and fair minded comment I've seen in a while.

Well done that man.

indeed

He has been given a 3 game ban and rightly so.

hope the club do him aswell personally. im all for tough rugby but i think it was premeditated and theres no room for that in this day and age. He was the top hooker in the league for the first half of the year but seems to have gone off the boil.

Who will be appointed to be the Master of Thuggery for next weeks game. (Wanes World)...............Is Hock long overdue for a ban?

Ridiculously lenient but as good as it was going to get under the current ludicrous guidelines. How it's fair for a first time offender to get a one game ban for some nothing offence that hardly anyone at the ground even notices, while a proven thug gets 3 games for deliberately and blatantly trying to cripple someone just amazes me. He may not even miss the final if Cats do 'em this weekend...

Wigoons are appealing against the decision. Can just see Wane grunting.........The Referee didn't get it right, The Disciplinary didn't get it right. I have players in my team who can sort out this injustice.....................The Chronicles of Wanes World.
