It was more shouting and pointing the finger at the Saints players, rather than having a go at Child I think.

So a full 2 team brawl kicks off and Clarke gets sin binned for pointing and shouting ? Best thing I've ever heard

Christ you got beat, move on.

I've heard the audio between the officials. Clarke was seen to throw a punch. Whether that shows on the video or not is irrelevant. A touch judge saw it in the melee, so he got binned.

Also, Child asked the touch judge if could point anything out that was wrong from Saints. Touch judge stated nothing. No punches were seen thrown from any Saints player - so no Saints player got a card. I've heard people saying "well it was a fight, so one from each team should go" Not true. a) its only a fight if at least one player from each team is throwing. b) as an official you cant just bin a player just because you thing you should. If there arent grounds, he cant go.

If he missed Wilkin fly in first he should be stepped down from the sideline immediately. Unless Bernard was the touchy?

If you can have 25 blokes pushing and shoving but only one punishable 'punch' I'd be very surprised. There was no 'coming together' until Wilkin and LMS got involved.

It was poor officiating to punish one side for that. Simple as. About ten different reasons given as to why only Clarke but simple answer even by many fans is it made little / no sense.

according to SL Full Time the penalty count was 10-9 in Widnes' favour.

Yet Saints got at least three penalties in the second half, just for high tackles.

But hey, why let the facts get in the way of a good "Widnes were robbed" rant.

IF people refuse to even acknowledge that theres a centre ground, its hard to debate with them.

You where on about this particular incident... The fact penalty counts always tend to even themselves out in games is another matter.

For a start, it wasn't a brawl, nothing happened. And that's what I heard/what I thought from what I saw.
