Just like the last two seasons under the clown. Yet we've extended the clowns contact twice. Baffling.

it was a hugely disappointing result and shows exactly where we as a club are at the moment, barely able to compete with a Warrington side that had been ravaged by Covid that caused 9 of their first team squad to either miss the game, or struggle through it.

God help us if we'd been facing a fully fit Warrington side.

You haven’t understood my post. Of course he failed the HIA. Because he cracked on he was knocked out. He wasn’t, he blagged it. We’ve all blagged it. We’ve all blagged a doctor. My point was, he wasn’t knocked out and then a few seconds later was. So how can my post fall down as you point out?
He’s let Wigan down as he’s unavailable for selection by carrying out and on a kid-ology. Leave that to football players to roll over 5 times and have the worst leg injury in the last 100 years.

I’ve no argument about the technicalities of the penalty or not. The point being Marshall acted the goat. Was it worth the bluff to try and get the call on a penalty and exempt himself from error, however small or sole.
Let’s be honest, Marshall should have handled that ball better, a brush against Charnley’s shin should not have caused him to lose possession. He knew that and that’s where the bluff got played.

So he was that desperate to blag it, he conned the doc in to thinking he was concussed and therefore ruled himself out of the next game?

You’ve somehow outdone yourself Duckie

I think that would be covered under the careless part of the rule so that covers accidental contact. I can only remember accidental head clashes or contact with head not in possession being overlooked as non offences in last few seasons.

Careless isn't the same as accidental. We can talk about whether he was careless/reckless, and if he was then he needs penalising and red carding given the severity of the offence, but an accidental kick is not a penalty no matter how many times people claim it as fact. I've just watched it back this morning, there is less than a second between Marshall dropping to the floor and Charnley making contact. I don't think it's even careless from Charnley, he's just chasing after a loose ball.

It's not so much the letter of the law, it's how they are interpreted, especially in the current climate on head injuries. We've all heard refs on mike say to players, I'm sorry, I realise it was accidental, but it's still a penalty.

couldn't have put it better myself Lam is getting more and more annoying as the season goes by!

The rule is very blunt. There’s no sub rules as I’m aware.
A kick, trip or strike is misconduct.
So it is dependent on the referees interpretation.
So did Charnley kick Marshall in the head, or was it contact with the head.
Certainly Charnley made no action to indicate a kicking motion.

If we're definitely running with Peet and Lockers next season, we may as well make that switch now.

We fluffed so many chances….. that’s not down to coaching, that’s down to players. The coaching is aimed to create chances, it’s the players job to convert them into points.
