God help the RFL if Willi Mason comes over here next year, he will have his own parking lace up at red Hall,

But lets have it right, i know fielden swung a few but hardly landed any, got 10 mins in the bin IMO punishment enough, its what makes the game great a little Biff,

These lot would be stuffed over in the NRL following an Origin game, have the lads would be suspended for throwing a few punches.

O Donnell may aswell book his seat in there

did he? i don't recall Griffin going for ten, ie- being punished during the game, and seeing as Griffin had nothing to do with the incident and has form for fighting, surely this isn't fair????

The ban aside, the one positive that has come from all this is that Fielden looks hungry. He was excellent on Sunday and looked like the 'Stuart Fielden' we all remember ripping sides apart at Bradford. He's brought back that killer offload when he spins in the tackle. Most importantly for me, he looks aggressive, tough and isn't afraid to chuck his weight about. You can see the intensity lift in his game. Fantastic for Wigan & for England RL. Anyone would be a fool to deny that Fielden on his day is one of the best props in the country.

Didn't Fielden throw the first few punches at Horne who was at first marker and had no idea what had happened? If so then he probably deserves the one game ban.

I've watched the highlights on the SL site but they seem to have cut the angle I remember from the original SKY Sports broadcast, unless my memory is playing tricks on me

Didn't Sky+ the game so can't double check (i'm sure someone else will).

Ah yes, you are correct, Horne has done one by the time the punches are flying

A ban seems very harsh for Fielden on second viewing.

I agree
Fielden should not have got a ban.
Wigan should appeal against the ban

Pemps you are usually a poster on here who is respected but to say this IMO is tosh. It doesnt matter if it would of only resulted in a nasty gash, the intent was there. Maybe Fielden has chunky ankles and they didnt break, but maybe it wouldnt of been a nasty gash and may have been more if it was on Sam Tomkins as he has chicken legs. I think Mason needs to be made an example of, especially considering what has followed before this regarding Brown etc. There's no need for cowardly acts in RL whether they cause serious damage or not.

Indeed, they should come down hard on late hits to kickers and tryscorers while there at it.

The list is endless

Good luck over at KR

Time to move on

I agree we should all move on, the ban is there and its 3 games. Mason will play no further part in Hudds season. Well done on making the playoffs and well done to us for winning the league. See you next year!

You obviously didn't see the same game as i did. Mason had run off after the stamp and Fielden stood up having verbals with the 2 markers. Mason comes storming in from afar looking to barge into Fielden. Fielden stood his ground and let Mason have it.

I can understand people getting binned for retaliating when players are lying on etc but Mason could've broken Fieldens ankle. Sin binning should have been ample for the scrapping and Mason should have got 4/5 games.

Still moaning about that one?
