Spot on. There was nothing in it at all, it just looked bad because his arm finished around the head area. Austin is definitely feisty, and that’s a good thing as he’ll be targeted. But he’s not dirty as far as I can see, just plays the game tough. He’s a great chap off the pitch as well apparently. He’s helping out with youth players and making a big effort in things he’s unassigned for- a real club man and rugby league man who really does care about our club and the game- genuinely one of our best signings in the 35 odd years I’ve been watching Wire.

First look live I thought he'd done him good style, saw the replay and it's off the shoulder and catches him around the head.
On field penalty sufficient nothing to see here.
If he does get a ban for that we might as well wrap up.

Seem to remember Saints fans creaming their pants over Ben Barba about this time last year , that ended well .

Can only echo Gazwire.
He's in SL for the right reasons and he's been thoroughly professional about the move.
He's really is an asset for the game....unlike Sandow and Barba who were in it for themselves and their own naughty boy cameo ego trip...I'm sure Austin will fit in along with legends we still remember fondly, the likes of Brett Kenny, Peter Stirling, Mal Meninga, Allan Langer and RFU convert Jiffy Davis.
I always hated Wigan and Saints but I went to watch Meninga and Kenny play, not just against Wire but other teams...because they were great to watch and good for our game. And so many older fans of other clubs that went to watch Warrington, not because of Warrington but because of Bevan...120k+(102k official) fans at a Wednesday evening replay.

If we didn't have the luxury of Sky TV...and if Austin was playing for Wigan...I'd go the odd game just to see him play.

Ooh a smart how long did it take you to come up with that

Was never gonna cop a ban for such a minor incident. Looks its down to Powell/Leuluai to "cannonball" him out of the game.

IMO he's a grub

He’s one player who couldn’t really complain if he gets injured via foul play because he’s possibly the dirtiest player in the league from what I’ve seen this year. He’s a fantastic player and he could stay clear of that sort of stuff but maybe it’s what makes him the player he is. He’s got great skill for the size of him and isn’t afraid to mix it.

Jake Connor?

Game, set and match. Wish we had them both!

Connor is a wind up merchant of the highest order but I don’t see him being particularly dirty.
