I really hope your guy is okay after that.

Got to be one of the dirtiest pieces of play I have seen in a long long time, the damage that could have caused to a defensless face is appalling.

8 matches for me.

Absolutely. It’s nearly as dirty as punching a prone unconscious man on the floor

Someone's bum bum is getting twitchy

It was s poor effort without a doubt but I’d be shocked if he got 8 matches with no apparent injury caused.

I’d expect 3, maybe 2 if they take the red card into account.

Was a deserved red. Never seen JSL do anything like that on the pitch before so was a shock.
Well done on the win btw.

Can’t be as bad as coming from St Helens that beats the lot for being scummy

Deserved red but I don’t think he’ll get anywhere near 8 matches, nor do I think it warrants that either. 3 matches tops. I can’t remember JSL doing anything dirty like that before.

Frustration played a big part in what he did, 3 matches I would have thought

I actually thought he went for the shoulder but ended up on the head. Still, no excuse either way and a ban is coming. Probably 3 matches.

Lucky he didnt get snotted for it though

Absolutely. Isa and Partington were into him all game, it was bound to boil over eventually.

Wigan targeted him all night when he had the ball, with Leuluai and Isa relentless in getting stuck in to him and he finally snapped. We have a guy in Partington who is getting under people’s skins and he’s got a great knack of staying on the right side of it all and letting the opposition implode.

Slowly but surely you’re getting your bravery back after the cup final.

Good to see.

Some of the worst tactics I have seen in recent years from Cas.

Wigan too in the first half getting sucked into it.

Cas are a better rugby side than I saw tonight.

They should have focussed on rugby but were too busy trying to be grubs in the tackle and slow the game down.

Poor display all round.

Cas came to spoil in that first half and it was so scrappy. The ref should’ve pinged them in the first tackle of the game but didn’t and it built from there. I’m not sure why they’d come with those tactics as Wigan have proved time and again that they can outlast teams in these close end of season games.

Daryl Powell has actually said that there was no intent and he ‘actually doesn’t think he makes contact’

Unbelievable.
