Typical Red Hall - about as consistent as a lumpy rice pudding. Oh look, I've just found a nine bob note as well.
Is Maurice secreted away in Red Hall - just a thought.
Anyway, if Wigan beat us, we can at least point to the injury list and the shenanigans of Wigan and their apparent hold over Red Hall.

Good shout.

That many players out we could do with him and with good reason, even with 5 first team player out though I still fancy our chances after what they did in France, never thought I would say that with so many key players out.

I posted on the Wigan board several hours ago in response to some Warrington trolls. I have not had any meaningful response.

If you were to watch the Hansen incident on Sky+, you would have to agree it was an innocuous challenge. He should have never been cited. Ironically, Hock could and should have been cited as he gave a sort of punch to a Bradford player's head. If he had been banned, I would have accepted it even though it would have been harsh.

How bad was Solomona's tackle/challenge? - that is the crux of the matter and something that needs to be discussed and if it was bad, then just admit it. Has anyone on here actually seen TV footage of the tackle? If it was innocuous, then the ban should be overturned.

i was there and can't even recall it occuring and i'm pretty bad at calling out(being honest) over house tactics from our own players

To be honest I haven't got a clue about the Solomona one. But there was absolutely nothing in the Hansen one and I'm not suprised its been not guilty.

Has anyone found the Solomona one on Sky+ yet?

just re watched the highlights from saterday night, the segment starts at 35:50 on a countdown clock, 4th and 5th tackle from catalan and then the kick, and then we score, soit must be before that.

Go back a step. Whoever has reviewed the recordings has seen something to refer both incidents to the disciplinary panel. The disciplinary panel has deemed one not guilty, the other guilty.

The person/people reviewing the games are the ones whos credibility should be called into question.

what i will say about this thoug, just remembered, baile and solomona and i think baitieri were having ading dong for most of teh game.

Enough with the conspiracy theories already. In the dark era (Whelan/Lindsey etc) Wigan used to pull every trick in the book to get around Red Hall, but even then they didn't control them - they just had clever lawyers and a determination to get their way whatever the cost. Bad luck on Solomona but nowt to do with the Pies.

Has an appeal been put in?

Just take it on the chin. Remember all the wailing when Morley and Carvell got off last year just before the Wigan game. We still didn't beat them.

Hope so!

what,,can someone translate

Not seen either incident.

Hansen would have had to do something really dangerous to miss the final. Solomona will be a loss. He's been in great form recently.

Hopefully an appeal will take place. Seems everybody else appeals these days anyway. Who knows!

According to Andy Wilson from the Guardian, no.

He pleaded guilty to the reckless part of the charge, so little point in appealing.
