So for consistency can anyone confirm if Ablett got charged for doing exactly what Westwood did?

If he did Westwood should be charged. If not, it's seems to be OK to punch players who have comitted a foul against your team.

I'd ban Westwood for being so thick as to think punching anyone as thick as Luauki would make any difference at all - I'd give him an extra match ban for being that stupid he actually hit his own player anyway!

As a Wigan fan, Lauaki should have seen red for the needless spear, but westwood and Lauaki should have got a yellow for the earlier leading arm/punch tackle.

When would there be a need for a spear tackle?

When Britney escapes?

He didn't, he clocked his team mate

Got to admit I was relieved when he stayed on the pitch. Been discussed at length but Silverwood was awful for both teams last night - bottled it time and again.

Actually he clocked 'em both. The front angle shows it best but he managed to clobber both men at the same time.

Horrible refereeing last night. Silverwood was terrible. Westwood should have got 10 minutes, Lauaki should have walked. Morley should have had 10 just to lessen his head count...Briers' offside, Hock's obstruction, Charnley's 'interference' at the jump(wtf!). I could go on but it's pointless.

Must admit, the Charnley incident was bemusing. If he was interfering, why did Silverwood not allow the advantage, rather than pull the Wire player back. I assumed at the time he was going to give offside against the Wire player. Refs in RL do not allow enough time for advantage to be played, they are too whistle happy.

Atkins was offside so he couldn't play the advantage and went back to the first offense by Charnley.

Bennie Westwood ‏ @bennie_westwood
@rararyan85 @briers6 looks like I'll be having a week off this week with that tackle so fry ups all week for me

Whatever the arguments about the incident, Westwood's peformance was phenominal;the man's a machine the best second rower in Super League.

If we get the new stadium in time he's the man to lead out his home town club at Newmarket.
