I'd like to retract my earlier statement- cracking decision by the club! In all seriousness it wasn't a great tackle but I think a lot of opposition fans are baying for blood because he's got this faux reputation as a dirty player. He's played nearly 400 games and was sent off for the first time on Friday. It was a lazy challenge that was a bit reckless. I wouldn't have argued if he'd got 2 or even 3 games but a clean record that spans almost 15 years has worked in his favour. Let's see if we can move on without a 20 page thread about how the RFL is corrupt and it only happened because it's Wigan...I won't hold my breath.

He has now been charged 32 times in his career and only banned for one game in total

If you can find anyone with a record anywhere close to that from another club then you can stop saying that Wigan players get away with murder

Chris Annakin should receive a ban for falling to the ground like Christiano Ronaldo being shot by a sniper in the crowd

SOL should sue for being wrongly charged so many times... IT'S A DISGRACE!!!

It just shows shows how poor the initial review panel is.

Classless comment Shaun wane would be proud of you

Check out the vt

Having watched it live from pretty much the top of the stadium it looked bad you could hear the impact thru the stadium.

Watching a,replay initially didn't appear as bad as first thought. Having watched his reaction he knew what he had done had it been unintentional then he would have shown some kind of interest offered a tap on the head or something to anakin, so I feel one game ban is a little light think 2 is fitting using an egp but a clever call not to use it.

It's harassment, plain and simple. Trying to knock a clean player off his game by wrongly charging him repeatedly.

In all seriousness, why would they charge him when we own the RFL?

At least Annakin now has a decent highlight in what's so far been a pretty poor career playing for a bottom feeder outfit. One day he'll get to tell his grandkids that not only did he get to play against the great SOL, but he also got knocked out by him as well.
