Unbelievable. I will go through the proper channels in future.

Did Westwood get a ban though?

One game served by missing England World Cup warm up game.................not exactly a punishment

One match - But the incidents are incomparable to equal or worsen the punishment.

One resulted in a fractured eye socket, the other knocked a bit of moisture out of floppy, overdue cut fringe.

Both cheap shots

You have to say it's a bit of a joke. Were he playing in SL next week I think we all know he would have picked up a ban.

Things like this and the Westwood situation do not do the credibility of our sport any favors.

Absolutely disgusting decision. Hep Cahill got banned for 2 games last year, maybe 3, for something similar. Heps was a bad tackle and deserved punishing. The only difference with the 2 tackles, at least Brett Hodgson had the ball when Cahill tackles him.

I know obviously its not your fault and some of you are genually shocked by the decision but for me it's an absolute farce. Anything goes now

lol

Well we can't complain about any other clubs players 'getting off' in future. That is a poor decision by the RFL which has been made because of the game we're playing in coming up.

I'll take it though.

And there is your problem. Someone else will receive 2 or 3 matches for something similar. Someone will receive 1 or 2 matches for something lesser. There will probably be Wigan players who do something lesser and get a ban.

No reason they couldnt have avoided the whole thing by saying his ban didnt apply to the WCC.

If the penalty really is sufficient for that, should we expect to see a fair few of them most weeks?

Pleasantly surprised with the decision. I thought he would have got two games, reduced to one with an egp. Personally I would have thought it best to leave the review and sentence until he was available to go before the panel and then any suspension served would have been over here.

I expected a low grade given that he caught Grix with an open hand but I wasn't expecting them to judge that the contact was shoulder first. I thought he caught his shoulder and jaw simultaneously. Still haven't seen it again though.

Based on their details of the challenge it's the right decision, but I'm not so sure about it being shoulder first.

While i would agree with Cherrypie that it was low grade, i would have expected a ban this early in the season as a warning to others to tackle properly and fairly.
