Isa actions were clearly out of pure frustration.

He is playing out of position getting 0 ball and unable to influence the momentum of the game.

That’s not however an excuse.

I can understand it, but I don’t condone it. He’s dropped us in the poop for the next few weeks as he will be getting banned without a doubt.

Isa was just plain dumb, as were the coaching team who left him on.

Or maybe coach a diving team?

Come on I wasn't the only one thankful that Coote recovered from his broken neck

I have read all the postings, I am amazed that he's other guys did wrong things on/in the game, but by implying they were wrong & so Isa, was justified because of others behaviour means that two wrongs make a right which is never correct or that the authorities should be leiniant ?
However, the overall problem is the poor reffing & letting him back on the field this continuing his mad antics & not playing rugby.
Next point is, when a young lad says I would like to play RL, & parents say, don't bother, there are better rewards in other sports & no idiots bent on thuggery, the sport looses out + others not tied into RL, watching on has their beliefs confirmed watching an idiot displaying that kind of antics, wigan should have better players than this type of poor quality.
Having said all this, he will not get a large ban if any !

I sort of think I know what he’s getting at but it is tough to make out. I think he’s saying ‘don’t make excuses for Isa’ and ‘he’ll not get much of a ban because he plays for a big club’ but I could be wrong.

I don’t see anyone really making excuses but like me, I do see people saying ‘I can understand why he got totally frustrated’. I also see people acknowledging that he deserves a ban for the Welsby incident and he does but that the other incidents were half a dozen of one etc. The Saints players were acting like a Spanish footballer in a La Liga fixture.

3-4 games will do.

Isa's ban is inevitable.
It's the other punters that worry me like Shorrocks, Bateman and anyone else from Lam's Friday shambles.

This thread should be interesting tomorrow afternoon, either we'll have no team to play Leeds or it's "Bloody Wigan getting away with murder again" time

That was one peach of a punch from Gray, right on the button.

Isa a definite ban
Bateman a probable ban
Hastings no ban
Whoever came in with the swinging arm on Walmsley late on a possible ban
Imo

Isa 4 matches (3+1)
Bateman 1 match

What is Bateman banned for? Games going soft. I've had enough!

Contact with the ref probably. The RFL have been consistent with that one all year.
