Was this the bloke who placed his arm in the mouth of an opponent and ran over to the ref claiming he had been bitten? a cheating bully as well if this was correct.

| Millington (Tigers) 2 match ban for punching.
Hill (Wire) no action taken.
RFL = total joke.

| I can't stand Chris Hill. Never a captain in a million years, not as good a player as some seem to think he is, and has let us down in big games time and time again. I haven't joined in the recent fawning over Ben Westwood either. Great player he was for us yes, but his Wires career should have ended at least three years ago, and probably earlier. I might not be bothered about a few fisticuffs, but hearing "Super Bennie Westwood" makes me cringe every single time.
As for anyone still crying about the fighting, just wait until we get beat at Wembley and have a few thousand Widnes fans there celebrating more than the Saints fans...

Might have been before SL but I remember a game at Wheldon Road (Tigers Vs Hull FC) where all 26 players were sinned binned at the end of the game. It was a spiteful game and IIRC a Hull player suffered a badly broken leg. Can't remember his name.
IMO this is what Child should have done.

I remember that game, i think it was Gary Pearce who had his leg broken.

Also, IIRC there was nothing wrong with the tackle, Gary had just tried an up and under and the Cas player took out his standing leg, no malice that I could see, just an accident.

Thinking back, sidm't they all go off mid way through the second half, and came back out? I think it was Lee Crooks I spoke to about it some years later and he said, it was a tough game, but both teams had a pint afterwards.

There aren't a few thousand Widnes fans anywhere these days, let alone at Wembley, for a cup final, not involving their side.
Warrington need to get their own house in order and fast.

| Sounds about right does that. I'm thinking that match was about '94 or 95'. Crooks, Nickau, Blackmore, Mike Ford, Steadman and Kemp era for Cas.

Agreed with your general point, but I went on to say I don't think it was the right thing to do. The fans weren't fighting on the pitch so there was no danger to players. Just tap the ball and kick it dead which they (eventually) did.

That would be an abandoned game too (now at least) as you need a minimum of 9 a side. Plus some of those players will have done nothing at all, so he would look ridiculous for sin binning them when it went to disciplinary.

How wrong you are.
Recent games......
Widnes Vs Halifax 4283
Widnes Vs Fev 5782
Widnes Vs Bradford 5335
Widnes Vs York 2229
Widnes Ve Leigh 5866
That's not too shabby for the Championship in my book. I'd dare to say it's not too far of Wakey's average this season.

Steadman, there was a man who could play.
At the risk of turning this into a nostalgia thread, who did Tex Evans play for. or "Tex (the) Piss" as we used to shout.
Thinks it was Salford.
Swinton then Salford.
