| Quote: Chris71 "Think this game will be just one too many for both teams and for us in particular after having the trip to and from France and such a physical game there. The loss of Watts & Griffin won't help either and annoying as don't think Griffin was deserving a ban as there was no push or malice and a caution & fine would have been more than enough. That just shows the division between officials and the game as if they are literally gods, FFS he touched him on the shoulder once.
As for the Watts ban, didnt expect anything else from the RFL but still find it amazing how O'Loughlin does the self same offence and doesnt see red or recieve a ban.'"
I can't agree Re. Griffin. You simply don't touch the referees, in fact, if you're not the captain you shouldn't be speaking to a referee about a decision. It's an element creeping into our game that I don't like at all.
The standard of refereeing is dreadful though, but that's a different topic.

Just wonder whether the club could build up his upper body and add some weight without losing his pace then use him as an impact prop.'"
He doesn't just run it in though. Always looking for the gap and weaving on his way to the defensive line. He made good yards and confused the defence too. Good tactic in my view.

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?: |

| Quote: number 6 "Just seen a clip on twitter of that grub Tierneys' kick at minis' try, hope the rfl ban him could've broken minis' wrist! Worse than watts last week imo'"
Quote: number 6 "Player uses foot to try to dislodge ball in act of opponent scoring a try and makes contact with opponent’s arm, however contact is minimal. Penalty sufficient.'" I guess this means if you throw a punch and miss it doesn't count.
No mention of his kick on Michaels.

| again they penalise outcome as opposed to what a player actually did/meant.
IF Minichello's arm had being broken it could easily have being a 4 match ban. it wasn't 'accidental' therfore a ban would have sent out a clear message that striking out with the foot or indeed going in with the kness as we see too often against prone players is not acceptable.
More weakness by the panel and yet conversely they continue to fail to see how the Watts/Gayle incident and others like it are by far the lesser by comparison.

| For all Wigan's thuggery and attempts to bend joints in directions they won't go the only player who is going to get suspended is Farrell for abusing the ref! It really does show where the RFL's priorities lie, plays designed to hurt players (and the hit on Rawsthorne in the air by a player that wasn't even looking at the ball let alone challenging wasn't even mentioned as well as Tierney's other kick) are obviously of less significance than words alone. Now dissent does need stamping out but the sin bin is sufficient punishment in this case and I'll bet that this is the one piece of foul play that would get their coaches disapproval, it never pays off unlike their planned grubbiness.
sadly I can't say I'm at all surprised by the usual disciplinary whitewash for the cheating pies though, expected it and the only interesting thing about it is the "justifications" they come up with for letting them get away with it again.
