Quote: Mark_P1973 "At the game, you could see Junior was out for the count immediately and i was top row of the stretford

however, i do think people are going over the top on Burgess. There were 3 HKR players who all dropped onto Junior, and in a split second i dont think they realised he was out for the count, and i dont think there was too much in it (i have watched the game back too). It took Hiku a moment to realise that he was out for the count as he was getting up'"


I don't think it was as brutal a strike as the Ben Flower one, but we're supposed to be in a climate where any deliberate head contact is an instant card.

Personally, I'm glad Budgie didn't get his marching orders, because that would have been offered as a reason for our victory. But it still needs calling out by the MRP.

Also, there was something a bit sneaky about it ... it was the ultimate cheap shot, so some degree of humiliation of the offender is required for that too.

As Sky Sports' behaviour ... well, that also needs an explanation (aside from them being well and truly on the Hull KR bandwagon), but I doubt there's any point in Wigan holding their breath.

Quote: Jukesays "How is that spot on when Burgess went into the tackle at the exact same time Hiku dripped on Nsemba with considerable more force, granted Busgies and does make contact with an open palm but I'd bet a hefty amount that Hikus contact made more of a forceful impact on a prone player, remember both of them could have just placed a hand on Nsemba and effected the tackle, fair enough they didnt, but just because Budgie runs back to the wing for the next tackle whilst the other 2 stay at marker I'm not sure what punishment for the initial drop he should face, especially in comparison with Hiku ?

Being an ex Wigan player, or leaving the club in what some deem was a poor way a couple of times doesn't immediately mean he's guilty of anything'"


Fair enough, I was probably being a bit harsh on Burgess, certainly regarding a ban anyway. I think Hiku sort of drops on Nsemba and, for me, doesn’t do too much wrong. In contrast, Burgess leads to his head, difficult to say whether or not it was with an open palm. It’s just too fast to tell.

Your last sentence had no bearing on what I previously posted.

Quite right too. Agree he didn't do much wrong in the spirit of the game.

Quote: Big Steve "Hiku makes no attempt to drag Junior up - which is where the bans should come into play. His actions don't warrant any sort of ban - anyone can see that regardless of the rule.

Burgess hitting the head of a prone player with at the very least no due care and attention and with plenty of time to assess the situation and not even make contact is ignored. It just makes the review panel look incompetent.

The letter of the law can't be used to support the first case then ignored in the 2nd. Similar applies to Lewis lifting Farells leg intentionally well above horizontal. It should have at least been looked at .'"


Heaven forbid. It couldn't be that, could it? Mind you ... it would explain a lot.
