Keighran is bang to rights. It was a bad one and I have no idea what he was thinking. The Dupree one, I'm not so sure about, if I'm being honest. Didn't seem to warrant a Grade D from the clip I have seen, but I know others feel differently (especially the MRP, it would seem). While it's natural for us fans to at first think 'great, Wigan have lost two players for the final', they will both be replaced by other players of a similar standard, and I wouldn't expect it to affect the match too much, really.

Keighran is bang average, albeit a great kicker and they have much better props than dupree. Wigan fans wont be too bothered by this.

If any side can cope with losing 2 from their top 17 it is Wigan. Both deserved to be banned.

Guess it will even it up slightly with us missing Hayes and Philbin.

I think Dupree knew what he was doing and was snide about it. Keighran's case was a slam dunk. Both stupid and pointless.

As for the ban length, both still less than Vaughan lifting a player time wasting by feigning injury.

I agree, it won't affect the result I don't think. Wigan still odds on favourites.

I'd prefer Dupree to be playing as for all the good things that he does/can do, aggressive front foot forward play, there's always a big chance of 'cerebral flatulence' in game which could give us an edge.

Neither of them are huge losses as others have stated, I'm just pleased justice was done and just hope it doesn't add to Wigan's motivation. They still have a very strong squad!

Not really big losses other than Keighran for the goal kicking. His assumed replacement in Eckersley looked a lot more dangerous at the weekend. But as above, justice has been done at least, thats all we want.

I’d prefer Dupree to be playing as well, he’s a big miss for Wigan.

Fair enough you see him every week and I'm a casual observer without any knowledge on the stats front, say for penalties conceded.

It's just a feeling that now and again he's liable to let you down...as with anyone it's a balance and one that won't be tested on Saturday.

Yeah, perhaps it's a relief for Wigan? I mean, if he loses his head (pun intended!) in a league game against a side of relative newbies, how would he have coped in a pressure scenario such as a cup final!?

Liam byrne,

Now Matt you are being silly, Dupree has played in all the big games.

Can you highlight that mate, I cannot seem to find the comment you are referring too.

The match will be refereed differently on Saturday mate.
