Heh heh typical paranoid pie don't take it personally, nothing at all to do with this being "wigan", more to do with the RFL's response to a certain "running in" incident that occurred during a catalan-quins match that resulted in five of our players being banned.

The RFL is consistent in its inconsistency if nothing else.

Read the VT thread mate, it wasn't only us that saw it.

wrong tomkins. it was his brother joel who ran in to have a go at howells

I blame Mistress Ganson end of.

Aspinwall and Kung Fu at Griffin Park anyone

Youthful exuberance.

Remember it well PP and once again pies got off scot free.

Very amusing that no Wigan fans actually noticed what Howell did to Tomkins in the first instance, but yet they are first to be the expert after they have seen it on the big screen

Must have been a bad one

To show there's no news like bad news, David Howell's “Grade D” charge made the Metro this morning.

So no doubt we can expect a preview of the Huddersfield game in the Friday edition.

3 games it is according to the RFL press release;

Harlequins RL centre David Howell has been banned for three matches and fined £300 for his illegal high tackle on Wigan Warriors stand-off Sam Tomkins in last Friday’s engage Super League match at the JJB Stadium.

Howell, who was sent off following the 27th-minute challenge with his forearm, pleaded guilty when the case was heard by the RFL disciplinary committee via telephone today.

The player’s claim that the challenge was unintentional was dismissed by the disciplinary committee who took into account the fact that no serious injury was caused and Howell’s previous good record in handing down a three-match ban, the minimum punishment for a player found guilty of a Grade D offence (3 to 5 matches).

I just can't work out why a "few" supporters from other clubs feel the need to Troll around other clubs forums trying to Stir! and usually Glorify in their win over us or find some fault in us as a club.

I respect Wigan for the loyal supporters and superb attendances they attract, but one Pie here has let the Club down well and truly.

3 matches seems fair, for a player who is not known for this type of offence and sets usually a good example.

Retaliation in our game used to be a straight red sending off, dropping down with knees on someone is dangerous!

4 pies players out with long term injuries 1 coke head maybe there is a Quins rl God after all.Ef em Hope wire win the semi.

I would love to know what definition of minimal is? IMO if he has allowed other incidents before hand to make him respond in this way, then the three match ban is wholly justified.

Remember the Newton - Long incident, he got 8 matches for a similar misdemeanor.

Isn't it past your bedtime?
