Yet when JJB retaliated for something a Hull player did later in the match, the penalty remained in Leeds' favour.

It's not the first time he's done it either.

He also did it to Sam Tomkins during the game at the DW earlier this year when McIlorum and Hauraki were having a scrap. He got away with it that time.

I knew he'd done it before but I just couldnt remember when.

It's bad stuff from the WBSR&C(worlds best second row & Centre) according to the Leeds fans. I'd have expected more from such a world class player.

I expect Manu to cop a fine.

Eh?

What for, impersonating a bowling ball?

No doubt Ablett will get one match, reduced on appeal to a fortnight on the Costa del Sol

Always amazes me how many Leeds come on here complaining about Wigan's lack of discipline and sportsmanship. For years the Leeds way has been, if we fall behind we'll start a fight.

Ablett is the stereotype wipe of a player.

Plays for a successful team, isnt actually that good, chucks his toys put of the pram when he gets tackled hard and resorts to cheap shots and eye gouging. I bet his fellow professional love him.

Fairly ironic he plays for Leeds, they are a perfect match for each other.

Think he did Briscoe as well.

It was Manu again. Looked like a second gouge attempt to me, certainly a good rake around his face. The second time, Manu was wise to the scrote and didn't retaliate.

Don't think the ref saw it, and no one else saw it intil SKY showed the thired replay.

Be very interesting to see what number the RFL pull out of their hat this week. Expect the excuse "The player was trying to regain his feet and didn't see Manu's face"

3 game ban.

The RFL Banning formula for Leeds players
If no - add 1 game

Do Leeds have a big game the following week? If yes - Current total of games is sufficient
If no - Flip a coin - If the player wins the coin toss, no more games, if they lose it, add 1 more, allow them the chance to go double or quits.

Gouging and biting are always the most difficult to detect. It's no wonder the officials didn't see the incident, it was blind to the short-side TJ, probably too far away from the open-side TJ and Childs would have been setting the defensive line. It was only the 3rd camera angle that showed what had gone on, so I can't blame any official for missing it.

For having the audacity to get his face and eyes in the way of Ablett's fingers.
