The refs and MRP are encouraging cheating by the way they run matters.
Keighran got belted under the chin by two Wire players. The ref saw it and gave Wigan a penalty. That was it!
If Keighran had milked it and stayed down holding his head with the medics surrounding him then the VR would have reviewed it and probably one Wire player would have gone to the bin.
With Keighran getting to his feet immediately and by not reviewing the incident they are inviting players to stay down to get medical attention and a review with a dismissal for an opposition player of some sort almost inevitable.
This really needs to be looked at by the refs admin people.

Correct

Have to agree what goes around comes around I suppose

So you can headbutt whoever you want so long as you don't mind paying the fine. Great idea

Glad to see you posting again, something good has come out of that post after all


PS

Yawnnnn

=#FF0000Absolutely no need for that comment - Moderators

Those who can, do; those who can't, ref.

Keep telling yourself that you and your mates are doing a great job tho. It's definitely helping.

Personally, I am glad that Wigan has put their disciplinary issues to bed, it is vital that we concentrate on the job in hand rather than being distracted.

Seen a few people wanting hill over cooper on Saturday. Is it me or is that a big risk. I rate the lad but surely the experience is needed and cooper is still more than capable of doing a job and would more so want to over his last club

I could see Keighrans ban putting paid to any chance of Hill playing. You’re having to bring in a kid with only 4 first team appearances to cover him and you also have Nsemba who is a very young/inexperienced player, so I think we’ll see Byrne or Cooper (or both) ahead of Hill.

Totally agree NK.
I like Hill and for him not to be in the 17 would be cruel but I anticipate that Cooper will be given the nod for his experience. As you say it would be very brave of Peet to play 3 inexperienced players in Nsemba, Eckersley and Hill with Cooper sitting in the stands.

Yep, like most people I'll never play Super League, as much as I'd like to. I'm going to go ahead and assume you're in the same bracket.

You may be interested to learn that the refs have absolutely sod all to do with setting the rules around foul play and even less to do with bans, which are issued by the MRP (made up of ex players and legal professionals whom you presumably do respect more than refs). You'll need to do a bit more mental gymnastics to get to blaming this one on the refs, particularly as Dupree wasn't sent off on the day.
