He comes running in with his fist and misses. If I did that to my brother he'd tell me I tried to punch him.

That kind of statement based on the facts is going to get you in trouble on here. There's a huge conspiracy against Wigan so it's got to be someone else's fault. At the moment I'm going to blame the News of the World.

Is your brother Jon Wilkin?

You're obviously watching a different game to anyone else then. Bailey doesn't throw any punches. He comes in and in usually Bailey softcock fashion manhandles a player considerably smaller than himself. Penalty sufficient.

did they tap his phone?

Worse than that, they made him read a Dear Deirdre photo story.

no wonder he wanted to punch someone then!

The fact remains Coley has been banned for throwing one punch, whereas Emmitt and Cooper despite being found guilty of fighting ( and fined £500) and thus by definition throwing several punches have escaped a ban. Emmitt is now free to play tonight against Wigan and Cooper will be able to play in Warrington's tough game against Huddersfield.

Where's the consistency in that? Consistent in that Wigan have been hammered by the RFL this year ( Lima X2, Sam, Tuson, Joel, Coley) and Warrington have escaped very lightly despite Morley's high tackles in several games, particularly against Saints and Carvell's late challenge on Dureau.

I think you should write to someone and complain.

Aren't "running in and punching" and "fighting" two different charges, meaning that Coley's incident isn't really comparable to Emmitt and Cooper? Not that I've seen the fight, but I would probably agree that running in a throwing a punch is more dangerous/daft as it could cause more damage to an unprepared opponent, than two guys facing each other throwing slaps.

Maybe, but Fielden was suspended last year after defending himself against Griffin and Mason and after Mason had stamped on his ankle! Whatever the case, Wigan seem to have been punished harshly and Warrington (and Leeds) very leniently in recent years - this fact can't be denied, even by Warrington/Leeds trolls!

Shame saddened can't get on here to tell us all that Perry was banned earlier this season for a 'fight' too.

Fielden got something like this last season... seriously, if someones gonna throw a punch, at least make sure they connect

If the rfl had consistency then emmitt wouldn't be injured now as he wouldnt have been playing.

The rfl obviously angered the rugby gods allowing him to play against wigan haha

Ho hum, i've just been having a look at the Disciplinaries, and it seems that the "On Report" that Ganson threw for the elbow charge on Charnley has been forgotten.
