I was amazed Powell didn't get a red for it big ban coming for him that's for sure

Utter lunacy from Powell. The game was already gone because of another big game abject performance. Won't be disappointed to see Powell cop a big ban. Comfortably the worst no.9 in the league and offers absolutely nothing.

This is no place for a calm and measured response!

Powell now has to play on Monday as he's getting a ban,i would have rested him and played O'Neil but not now

Disgusting tackle, could have broke the poor lads neck. I'm hoping for O'Neil getting a start and having a good run, if that's the case then Powell struggles to get back in the team. We have 3 x players who tackle like demons but offer nothing going forwards, no room for them all so having Powell out and O'Neil in will make us more potent around the ruck.

Horrible tackle - Red all day long.

The people defending it as “biff” are probably the same people who defended Terry newton’s antics in that infamous game.

Could have broken his neck.

Shocker and absolutely no need for it in what I thought was a pretty clean game apart from that, he can't complain about however many he gets.

Yup that's me on all accounts.

You know what, I loved Newton because he was obviously Wigan through and through. He'd bleed cherry and white if you cut him open. Loved the club and couldn't stand us losing. That's what I want as a fan.

Suppose I'm as low as the Saints fans who boo'd his minutes silence during the GF.

Think you’d have to put it down to a moment of madness. Powell has always seemed a tough but good sportsman to me…..

Absolute shocker! Should miss 6 games minimum.

All for aggression but you have a duty of care to your fellow players

Then I suggest you watch and listen your Coach Peet account on stuff like that you describe as biff. It was a brain explosion by Powell something he will regret for quite a while.

Deary me.

Agreed

A tiny minority, to be fair, which I'm sure you see too. It looked really bad, and I'm expecting a ban comparable to Ferres on Gildart.

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones,Saints have had plenty of players over the years who have overstepped the mark,most notably Sonny Nickle,now going back to the incident only an idiot would say it shouldn't have been a red although how LMS didn't get a yellow i don't know he must have run at least 10 yards to get involved
