So you've seen his scan then? How can you diagnose what he has from your armchair?

| Quote: Starbug "So what was Westwood actually trying to achieve?'"
It was a blatant, nasty cheap shot. A straight red for me if the ref sees it. It's a banning offence IMO. Don't know how many games because I don't know how heavy they clamp down on these things these days.
I think Blake Green will have been hurt. But I don't think he was the five minutes on his back hurt which he milked it for.
I don't think RL players should have to deal with punches in play. It's cheap and disgusting to hit a guy who has two hands on the ball and no way to protect himself. But both the Wigan players milked the cheap and nasty play from Warrington for all they were worth.

Stick to wendyball where they fake their injuries. That was a bad one. Could be a fracture.

| when you face and eye swell like that you can bet its an orbital bone/ cheek fracture... he said in the interview he had double vision for 10 minutes after he got up, highly doubt he was 'milking it'.

dubairl is the one diagnosing it: "Blake green eye is a right mess and thats a serious broken cheekbone"
I could be wrong. He might have a scan and it be revealed as a fracture. Just judging from the punch though it was just a cheap shot little dig and no more.

Salary cap - you're havin a laugh.: |

| Typical Westwood. Cheap shot on a half back. Anytime it kicks off properly he is the first to hide behind Carvell/Morley etc.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Scummy act from a scummy player, Green and Wigan rose above it and went to show the wolfs you become Champions by playing aggressive but fair rugby league.

Yes they did, which is quite strange given some of the dirty buggers in their team

Bar Hansen's tackle on Ratchford of course.

There was nothing illegal about Hansen's challenge...

It was aggressive but legal and fair, like I said Wigan showed Warrington how Rugby League should be played, Warrington haven't done their reputation much good tonight.

We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.

| Westwood should have been sent off. But let's not for one moment allow this to mean that the repeated cynical play of Wigan teams for the past four seasons is somehow wiped from the record.

| Westwood would (probably) have been sent of if one of the officials had seen it, it was only picked up by a TV camera.
The RFL will be consistently biased and treat Westwood the same as Briers, particularly as his next games are for England.
