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.
