I agree about the Currie binning, it wasn't the worst offence going, but it's crept into the game, it needs to be stamped out,it's bad sportsmanship,against the spirit of the game and in a situation like last night it could and did escalate things if tensions are running high.
And it did calm things down and led to an exciting finish, without Hicks taking control then it could have been a niggle-fest for the remainder of it.
Although why Murdoch-Masila wasn't binned too is baffling.

I think Murdoch-Masila probably got some credit off Hicks for not reacting to it other than a little bit of a chest bumping square off. Carney was the one who came running into an incident that didn't involve him, grabbed a Wire player and cocked the arm back ready to throw one.

No problem with the Currie binning as long as it is applied consistently.

Glad Currie showed a bit of fire in his belly, its about the only thing missing from his game.

I too thought Hicks did OK. Not the message you would deduce from the younger posters on another thread. One such poster couldn't watch anymore the reffing was so bad.

Currie inadvertently won us the game in those 2 incidents he had with Murdoch-Masila, Salford game plan out the window, more interested in settling scores and getting into the biff. Up to that point they were in control, one thing Wire have never been is intimidated, in fact we are probably the kings of roughhouse tactics (rough not sh-thouse, that's Wigan)

Got in their heads, won us the game.

I actually thought that M-M had been trying to intimidate Currie from quite early on and Currie showed he wasn't going to be intimidated. The sin bin did confuse me though;
1) if he was right to bin Currie then M-M should have gone, he was seen to indulge in foul play and was penalised which in my view was more serious than the hair ruffling...not sure what message the ref was trying to send out
2) I think the whole hair ruffling after a dropped ball etc needs to be quashed as being childish so in the long run although unfair may be of benefit
Thought Currie was immense (not a big time Charlie) and am I the only one to be reminded of Sculthorpe (P not D) who also was reluctant to take a backward step from a confrontation?

If you tried to wind Sculthorpe up you usually got a smack to the chops for your troubles, you could in them days.
Farrell tried it and came off 2nd best.
