I think there's been a bit of plea bargaining here. The RFL have reprieved Ben Flower as long as Waneypops doesn't request for his secret love child Ben Thaler to ref the game. Although he is a strong ref. lmfao

Nah, its because we are wigan and we own the rfl

Another who can't keep away since his team beat us. You are a Yorkshire version of Mugwump and I claim my £5.

The disciplinary panel are right bottle-less gets. I can't speyk.

Awesome contribution, congratulations!

We should scrap the Grade A,B and C offences sham and let the RFL make it up as they go along because that's what they have done in this case.

It started off at a Grade C offence possible 2 match ban, then Grade B one match ban now its a Grade A no ban just a fine, what a farce, a big overhaul needed at the RFL headquarters.

You registered just to post on this thread?

Or spell !

Don't know why people are attacking Wigan over this. We act in our own best interests and if we can get a player off a ban simply by appealing it then why wouldn't we. We've not acted incorrectly in this. I agree with many opposition fans that it's ridiculous to go from Grade C to no ban, but that's an RFL issue and not Wigan's fault or problem.

also, It could have gone the other way and they actually increased the ban......but the appeal panel obviously saw the tackle differently to the disciplinary panel and acted accordingly.......this is a problem for the RFL when different people interpret an event in different ways

Wow I thought just about everyone in RL had seen the Mick Morgan commentary. Guess not. Try searching "Lee Crooks Try" on Youtube.

As for the actual topic, being a Wakey fan (yes I know...) we've been on the end of some odd decisions at the disciplinary recently but it makes me cringe when people come up with the conspiracy theories at all that - doesn't do anyone any favours. Wigan are just looking after the interests of their player, the RFL will have taken a closer look and assessment and decided to change their mind.

We even had one on our site suggesting James Child gave Leeds more penalties the other day as he had heard he had a part time job with Leeds City Council. At least it made me laugh - you can't make it up sometimes.

Good luck on Saturday.

Well I've seen it, best thing on the internet.
Quality post Sir

Shove it up yer !
