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)
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.
