Well that suits me, as good as a let off ! Mind he will have to keep his nose clean next season.

What i have a problem with is that my view of the tackle was that one player had grabbed Ratchford so it would be more logical for Hanson to go high & help his team mate to stop Ratch getting the ball out to supporting players ,which i am sure you will agree is what we try to do at every opportunity. At that moment a tackle round the legs looked illogical.

It wasn't even vaguely similar. Which isn't really the point anyway. I was using it as an example of how teams have to put up with injuries in the sport - or do you still feel that Warrington are the only team challenged in this way?

In any case considering the start of the GF in which Westwood assaulted Green, it is a bit rich for Warrington fans to feel quite so aggreived. You gave it out - be prepared to take it back - stop being so soft.

Incidently before this goes any further if you care to look on the Wigan boards check out the thread "Briers" during which I support your man as a player and play down the punch on Ablett as insignificant.

I'm quite sure that Shaun Wane doesn't tell Wigan players to deliberately injure opponents in the same way that Tony Smith doesn't encourage Warrington players to punch opponents when their back is turned or laying on the floor.

Wane was assistant to Maguire. Who was accused of coaching techniques to try and injure players.

Same coaching technique that Nathan Brown practised at Huddersfield.

Which doesn't make it right.
