I've seen this mentioned a few times but can only remember the sending off v Bradford???????????

Waney and Rads will tell em he is such a sweet misunderstood boy and it would be very wrong if he missed the Grand Final. Nathan McAvoy and Graham Hallas will be in tears and let him off with sending off sufficient.

Quote: Pemps " Quote: Pemps "I think he may get 1 or 2 games. 3 would be OTT.'" Grade C offence is 2-3 games. I now think he'll get 3 considering it's his 3rd red card of the season.'" From what i can see on the RFL disciplinary section he has only been sent off once this season. www.therfl.co.uk/disciplinary?pl ... rch=search

To be honest that's all I can remember but a few people had said it so I was happy to go along with it because my memory is cack.

One red this season IIRC, he then wasted his one and only ban appeal for the season. His one game ban was reduced to a fine only, only then for him to sit out the next game due to injury Nothing like forward planning!

I think he'll get 2 with him basically having already served 1 game but who knows. His season could be on the line here which is a shame considering how well he's played.

If he gets 3 games the lad could be forgiven for wearing a striped shirt and a beret on Friday night!

Interesting that he has been charged with a grade C offence yet there is no mention of Michael platt who apparantley did a carbon copy tackle on Saturday, consistency is all I expect but then this is the RFL

Offences shown on TV get a harsher punishment than ones that arent on TV. Its plain to see.

Just hope that first team and U20's win next week. That'll knock a game off his ban.

I think he'll get a 3 game ban which would be harsh imo.

I'm less pessimistic about him being banned than I would've been a few weeks ago now Tommy is back, with Smith to slot into the halves. Would still be very unfortunate if his season was over because of this incident.

are you insinuating that wigan know how to beat the systems rogues?

Pretty sure that loophole only applies if you qualify by age eg McIllorum would have to be in the u20 age group.

The Wigan web site says between 2 and 3 games. Does that mean 2 1/2? lol. Well the sending off should count for the 1/2! So it looks like his season is over unless Wigan make the GF or get beat against Catalan.

It wasnt late ? he had passed the ball allready,i most certainly was late.The arm did not hit the shoulder at all,it was a swinging arm direct to the head.As you say it was worthy of a red,2 game ban given his record this year.

Given his recent form we'll be better off without him.

A very stupid act which he now has to deal with the consequences.

This could cost us big, I hope Wane rips pieces off him all week.
