What credit and credibility that buffoon had before the game was blown away forever by his defence of the tackle after the game. You don't lambast your own player in public to be fair, but you don't say they were completely in the right and blameless and that the referee just got it wrong after that kind of a challenge unless you're a serious heavy duty ****er worthy of nothing but derision....

Hopefully on appeal the ban will be increased to 4 games

So how does perry get off? "Didn't promote the forearm?" - what it just accidentally managed to make contact with Lima's head whilst he was on the floor? Eddie said it was "nasty", but the RFL....

Perry got off because It wasnt the forearm smash you pr1ks are making It out to be.

That was a nothing incident. If you watch it in full speed it is nothing more than a lazy drop by a tired player. You can see from Perry's reaction to Lima's hissy fit that there was no malice in it.

Any appeal is outrageous. He is bang to rights. The tackle was late, off the ball and maliciously high. What exactly is the basis of any appeal? The ban should be increased and Wane should be fined for his comments.

I accept some of the disciplinary panels decisions are baffling but nobody with any common sense can honestly say that in this case the punishment is not spot on.

Wigan suffer the slight handicap of losing McIlorum for 3 games. Although many including myself see it as a positive. As it means Leuluai will replace Micky at 9. Saints are today dealt the news of a season long handicap in the resigning of "slug" Wellens and and "butter fingers" Meli. Nice!!!!

That's about the only thing he could teach him. Already twice the player than him and he's been for playing 10 years less

What's Caeser had to say about this then?

and maybe how to tackle??

Well it looks as if he has failed in his appeal bid and so will have to sit out the three games.

....and where to stand when defending....
