Was todays lap of honour Ben’s last?? It very much looked like it to me. Been a great servant to the club if so.

It was a needless tackle though, big Havard had control of the situation surely?

Unfortunate injury.
But people just scream the word cannonball at every tackle.
He doesn’t attack below the knees. He starts above the knee and goes down to the back of the knee with the leg bending in its natural direction. He doesn’t apply pressure in the opposite direction of the natural movement of the knee.

It would mean something if we didn't get this after every game anyway. 25 years on since our 8-Wembley winning streak, and to so many of them it's still more important what happens at Wigan than at their own clubs.

It looks a bad tackle, let the disciplinary take care of it.

If only if it were that simple Rogues, Radio Humberside sports reporter Nick Pinkney made numerous damming comments regarding tackles by Wigan live on air, when ex players offer up statements like these, it’s then highlighted even more. Bad tackle in my opinion.

Didn’t look good
Probably a ban going his way
The only other thing I thought at the time was that it appeared to be in the direct of Child’s and he obviously didn’t advise a penalty. May just be clutching at straws

Probably get a ban but it was anything but malicious. Misjudged tackle no different other than the misjudgement right what you’d see any other 3rd man in the tackle do. The uproar is laughable

Would that be the same Radio Humberside who back in the 1990s employed some prat of a commentator with a double-barrelled surname who used to scream with excitement every time Hull FC were on the ball, punctuating his commentary with shouts of 'get em onside!', 'what about that, ref!' and 'forward!' Employed by the BBC and he made Mick Morgan sound neutral.

You'll have to forgive me if I don't take anything idiots like this say too seriously.

But I also take the point. It makes it harder for the Disciplinary to give an even-handed response.

Lol glad you got the point Cruncher.

And David Doyle-Davidson If that’s who your disrespectful post is aimed at, was a player, and coach, who has represented rugby league all his life, and a fine ambassador to our great game. I’m sure even in the autumn of his life, DDD would still accommodate you behind the bike sheds to discuss your views.

As an aside DDD would certainly liven up this terrible bland commentary we are suffering presently on Sky.

Am I reading this right? Your defence of him not being a prat is "he would probably beat you up for your opinion". Really? That's where we are with this? Good to see the art of good debate isn't dead.

Calling a guy a prat or an idiot behind your keyboard is hardly good debate.
