Feels like in recent season there have been more unsavoury/borderline incidents involving us than any other team.

Off the top of my head because they were big games I remember them theres been:

Nick scrutons disgraceful speak tackle on cunningham in 08
Lee smiths stamping against wigan in the 08 eliminator
seniors kicking out at a wigan player in the cc this year
and abletts decapitation of tomkins head.

We have had five players appear before the disciplinary this year, Senior twice. Of these five appearances we have only had one suspension and that was Brent Webb. One of Seniors was for his Red card at the WCC, so in regular UK season, it is really only four appearances.

In light of current discussion that is quite good in comparison to say.... Wigan!

Good thread this eh Wheels

Just for the sake of it

Sorry, Doh, yes, I got it in my mind for some odd reason he got a Red... he didn't. The appearance before the committee was for his post match comments.

Sorry again!

You've let everyone down, I hope your happy.

I will be when the review panel post their reports and Ablett is only charged with a 'Careless' tackle grade A offence....I hope?

We've had three players appear before the disciplinary this year, Coley twice and J Tomkins once. Only one resulted in a suspension.

The Wigan board will go into meltdown and all the conspiracy theorists will be out in force if it does.

Don't know about that, but interesting that both Fielden and O'Carroll have both been pulled for raising the knee in the tackle this season, and both have received a caution for it.

Surely Wigan fans would now retrospectively like to see those players banned for the offence?

That's right O'Loughlin got off after taking Luke Robinson's head off.

It wasnt exactly the head, and tbh I wouldnt have complained had he got banned. It shows how bad the reffing is when Lockers doesnt get at least a yellow but Coley gets one last friday.

Honestly cant remember them, but if they were as bad as the Bailey one then we couldnt have complained.

Depends how you look at it:

Follow your troll view and you get the above. A more balanced view may result in the following:

Nick Scrutons careless/unintentional spear tackle.
Lee Smith kicking out in the tackle attempting to re gain his feet.
Keith senior...see above.
Carl Abletts shoulder charge on Tomkins (Obviously didnt decapitate him did he..if he had his head would have come off...it didnt..if was back playing in the next phase of play).

HTH

As bad as the Bailey one? What planet are you living on?

A raised knee is a raised knee. That is all Bailey did on Friday, nothing more. On that basis the precedent for a raised knee is a caution, bearing in mind two players from just the one club have already received that this season.

Q: When is a raised knee not a raised knee?

A: When it is committed by Ryan Bailey or against a Wigan player, it then becomes attempted murder.

Well I know which way your looking at it, the biassed way. Get a grip mate, it wasnt a shoulder charge. It was a disgracefull effort that should result in a ban. Coley got sent off a few weeks back and got a 2 match ban, I had no arguments about that and completely agreeed, and that wasnt as bad as . So why dont you try the unbiassed approach. Maybe Tomkins should stay down longer next time and milk it abit longer rather than toughing it out, would that make you happy.

What the hell are you going on about, i havent defended the Wigan players for doing it. All I said was I dont remember them. All im saying is that if the Wigan players were as bad as Baileys they should get the same punishment. If he gets off I wont complain, if thats what has happened before.

Are you really that stupid? Calm down for 2 seconds and point out where I said Bailey should be banned? All ive said is that if Bailey gets a ban, then I agree that the Wigan players should got on aswell and that we couldnt have complained if they had. All we want is some consistency. Im sorry if i worded it badly but I havent said Bailey should get banned, tbh i dont think he should.

Some of you are bloody touchy on this site

Then you would expect the same for Bailey.
