Well I said the same thing to Johnnie Lowe last night and he completely agreed with me, he said Murphy would have had Nicko or himself do exactly he same.

Brain fart I think not.

Sorry, you can't condone Benny's hit. It's the thin end of the wedge if we allow that, the games moved on from that being acceptable (if it ever was). That wasn't 'biff' it was a late shoulder that could have caused serious harm.

Having looked at the late hit. I can see a ban forthcoming. If anything due to ben's priors.
Know I said I mentioned evans' two ball touches in 20 minutes last night, but if he was dropped due to poor form but retained as back up or cover, why couldn't Julien play instead, he seems to be doing really well in reserves and deserves the opportunity.

Bans for Sims & Westwood on there way.

Golding is our 1st choice kicker.

Westwood yes sims no if you want a ban for that go take up tiddlywinks or curling !!

Imo it was a deliberate strike to the head !! On the replays you. An awe a minute adjustment to ensure he cleans him out. I'm all for physical tough hard hitting rugby however that challenge doesn't fall into that category. Wether he was told to do it or was just a very poor attempt at a big hit I'm not sure but I'm in agreement that it certainly affected the game in our favour.

What i've heard this morning is that the Westwood incident was bad ,but not having sky i doubt if i will ever see it unless it is featured on superleague show.I just saw it once in real time at the match. What did Sims do,i didn't even see the ref put him on report ?

There's nothing tactical about "biff" when it's illegal challenges that can get you banned.

Morley (in his Warrington years) and Peacock could enforce themselves on opponents without doing illegal challenges.

The danger for Westwood is he is going to become like Nikau was at Warrington. A once great player who is frustrated at not being the force of old and starts taking liberties.

Wigan win gf over and over with bending the rules.
The door is locked good if you remove the key.
Bennies hit was a fine line between legal and not.
Either way we needed the win and 10 mins was a bargain price for it.
We have the win and Bennie a week off. Everyone is a winner...except leeds.

No need for sky full game is on a popular video sharing sit search warrington Leeds and change filters to videos this week

no i dis agree had this been at leeds westwood would av gone..homer child always favours the home team he`s well known for it..just look at atkins 2nd try..if we get him at widnes we r knackered

We wasn't at Leeds, so your point isn't valid pal, but
I buy your theory though.
Your theory would make it difficult for a Ref to hold nerve and send someone off when at home, in a CC or GF, whereas if it was an away team, he would find it easy to send him off.

So by your own theory, you must except it is an advantage when not away from home.

Can't condone the Westwood "tackle", was at best stupidity, which could have cost us the match.

Wigan win Grand Finals over and over with good coaching and a youth system that produces lots of top players.

But you never know, maybe Wigan will be trying to sign Westwood from us if they think his approach could help give them a marginal edge in the Grand Final.
