I actually said at half time when i saw it again on the screen that Mase would be in trouble for that !!

As for saying he hid - wot tosh - Mase ran in, shoved him and then stood right in front of Fielden waiting for his reaction and then they got it on - hardly running away is it ?

Griffin will be lucky to escape a ban because he joined in something that didn't involve him, a la rlMcCarthy-Scarsbrookrl last year. 1-2 matches, although his previous record may not help him.

Mason should get at least 2 for the stand-on, more if his previous record is taken into account. I expect Fielden will get one match, but due to the aggravation involved (being stood on and then Griffin getting involved) and previous good record, I won't be surprised if he gets just a fine.

Brown was stupid to do that ankle tap in front of the referee. Nothing "malicious" in it, but I thought Professional fouls were supposed to be an instant red?

If you watch the footage of the incident from the camera behind the play you see Richards dummy towards Tomkins right before Brown ankle taps him. From the angle Tomkins was running this move is unsighted by Bentham.

It goes someway to explain why it happened.

Well, it's understandable, but I'm not sure "I thought he was going to get the ball" would stand up under scrutiny.

Kevin Brown isn't a dirty player, either. In fact, all your ex-Wigan contingent (who combined brilliantly for Robinson's try) learnt their trade well at Wigan, all of them are good, clean, quality players.

I think it would also be fair to say Tansey's in for the roughest ride tomorrow...

A profeesional foul is a yellow card not a red.

Mason is looking at at least a couple of games. But you talk about his previous record. This is his fourth season at the Giants and the only time i remember him in any trouble was for fighting Peacock in a pre season friendly. He is nothing like as dirty as people are making out.
Griffin should be ok. If he ran in to fight he would be in trouble but he was right next to Fielden when the trouble started. You could easily have cited a couple more players from each side for running in (Riddell can clearly be seen throwing a punch)

This makes interesting reading

Hopefully Mason will get the same justice.

If it aint 2 matches minimum then there really is something wrong

I agree Gahan, but the RFL have set a precedent above, and thats how the law works.

The RFL need to be much firmer in handing out bans, but then again Refs need to be much firmer in waving red cards too IMO.

Not when most of the reviews for both ended up with no action whatsoever. Loads of things get looked at where there's nothing untoward - that's hardly a basis on which to try and make a point.

I just wish to point out that 11 fans is not 'loads' of fans to a club like Wigan RL. In fact, it's barely any to be concerned about. However, I forgive you for your confusion, as to a club like Huddersfield RL 11 fans is a vociferous following in that neck of the woods hence the above comment & the confusion following it.

Hope I've cleared that one up.

11 fans in that shot. The camera's then concentrated on matters on the field as the stadium thinned out.

Mason 3 games,Griff and feilden got 1.

I think that he will obviously appeal against this ban, no way did it warrant 3 games imo
