If it was a puch, you'd have point, but he had a close fist and smacked him luckily in the side of the head. Like I said earlier the lad had a scrum cap on so luck him, cause he was still dazed by it.

If you feel there was nothing in it, fair enough, but then I'm sure if it was the other way, we would have had oo's and ahs and off off off, like we heard from wigan fans for sykes tackle. Which there was nothing in. A shoulder tackle that slipped up, as opposed to a blatent punch.

He may not get anything, but I still think they'll take a look and considering the 1 match bans for genuine tackles this year, I would not be surprised for a 1 match ban.

It wasnt an intentional punch in my opinion. He was attempting to shove him off as he was all over him.

But my god what an uppercut! Jeezus, wouldn't like to see him when he's trying to punch someone!

He won't be banned - nor will he play.

I very much doubt that, as I said there's nothing in it, its just a player trying to get a QPTB and an opposition player lying over him, not even a punch, more of a shove, to compare it to the Sykes incident is unfair, neither deserve any more attention by the RFL, but its all about opinions.

He deserved it for putting is elbow on hocks head with force now jog on and get the tissues ready for a hammering

really??? Watched the game back this morning and didn't notice a thing - just played on 58mins and 4 seconds (can only but assume this is the tackle??) There's nothing there, he was literally trying to get up - at most a slap on the wrist and that would be silly if you ask me

Nothing in it. Sykes incident was correct too, shoulder first then the head, just a penalty.

Hock for Wembley go Gaz go..............

Come on seriously, did you really expect the "Wigan appreciation society" ahem, disciplinary panel to ban the thug. Carl Ablett didn't hit golden balls as hard as that yet he still got a 3 match ban. I suppose it helps when half of the panel has wigan connections. Is phil clarkes dad still weaving his magic on the panel for you? I would imagine he'd refer most of the decision to "the gods" eh?

how do you know sams balls are golden? You perve!
