Only because Howell failed to connect properly. The intent was there for all to see.

just watched it and I agree he milked it, but only because Howell didn't connect properly. The time was roughly 27.40 secs if anyone wanted to know.

even if the intent was there, he didn't need to milk it like he did, similar to paul deacon when he did it against us a few years ago after getting a gentle slap round the chops, then seconds later he was fine enough to slot over a penalty kick

was a shocking challenge but did anyone see his bro come in with the knees after it caught him right on the noggin! he should also of been red carded or at least ten minutes!!!!!

still led with the elbow and connected , doesnt really matter if tomkins did milk it , it an elbow and an elbow is only used with intent to injure the opponent

I thought it was disgraceful . There was no effort to tackle the player , The whistle had gone and the Quin's player lead with the elbow. Umm Ganson was justified.

i have to agree there , not the way you want players to act , any other time and he would probably been shown the yellow

he may receive a letter in the post and a slap on the wrist tuesday morning

and im sure that will make him think long and hard in the future

me would say 27 mins

Already seen it pal, I posted a few post before this one.

Tah anyhow.

i remember that but was morley been tackled and cassidy come over the top with his elbow

the wigan players running will be in trouble as well i think especially the one that dropped his elbow/forarm on howells head. That was clearly visable on the tv last night. I think it was his brother but not sure hitting someone on the floor is almost as worse then leading with the elbow.

Thank you somene with some intelligence.

there was no attempt to tackle and it should be a minimum of 5 matches IMO
