you never said it had to.

Bore off you gloit.

Doesn't mean anything for the disciplinary though. You only need to look at Keith Senior, Ryan Bailey, Keiron Cunningham and Leon Pryce to realise that.

And win 2 consecutive grand finals............

Aww, come on fellas, Ablett's challenge was no worse than that late effort by Tomkins on Richie Myler as he scored the other week.And what happened to Tomkins
Zilch.

Iam not saying he should be treated leniently. It looked a bad tackle and he should be banned but it was out of character.

I do hope the Wigan players get punished for the "afters" after the tackle

Could have been a great shot but sloppy technique led to it being dangerous. Ref was right to put it on report and probably deserves a match or two.

That is all. I shall not enter any dialogue with any of the fekkwitts from other teams on the subject or the thread. You have a definitive opinion. Now go knock yourself out with your bile and ill informed jealous rants.

We have a semi final to ready ourselves for.

…well they should but as usual not one Wigan player will be called to Red Hall – Why? Because all the RFL are Wigan fans and it would take a Wigan player to shoot a RFL Official in the face before they would get called up and even then they’d only get a warning letter and a £30 fine.

Shut up Lawrie.

Ablett should get 3 games (should've been sent off too), Bailey should get at least a game or maybe even two. Both incidents were very cheap indeed.

Any worse than OLoughlin taking Luke Robinson late at Murrayfield? Sorry Wigan supporters, I forgot that that one was ok.

Oh and Lupset Pussy Cat what ever you are called - pathetic mate, truely pathetic

Just watched the Bailey incident. Once he gets put on report, Ganson clearly tells Fielden to be careful as he has a similar style. Hang on a minute. If thats true then why hasnt Fieldon been put on report for it already? Sorry, you cant just pick and choose who you put on report. Its either everybody or nobody ain it??

Late, not high and dangerous. So yes.

Just to be clear, that's yes, it was worse than O'Loughlin, not yes, it was ok. Because that would be wrong.

Was OLoughlins not high too? Must have been pretty bad to warrant the coach coming out and saying his 'enforcers' will protect the smaller players.

If the "challenge" on Tomkins had happened to Webb with the same result, there would be Leeds fans picketing outside Red Hall with pitchforks and burning torches right now.

No, it was in the chest.

<REMOVED: I'm assuming that you aren't the copyright holder for those images? Any more and there is a ban on its way>

With that one answered, back on topic now...

Wigan deserve all the bad tackles their get. In five years time they’ll be an investigation and it’ll find that Wigan are as corrupt as Melbourne. Enjoy the good times whilst it last cherry and white but blue and amber will have the last laugh when your well and truly disgraced!

What we all know is that if Abletts elbow/forearm into Tomkins face had been done by an away player from any club on a Leeds man then that away player would have been sent off.
Can't remember the last time I saw Ganson bottle it but he did then.

Awful challenge, and certainly deserving of a 2-3 match ban for me.

I'd also like to think Bailey will be banned for firstly leading with the knee, and just for being a sh*thouse in general.

That 2nd sentence sums you up perfectly exit stage left grub!

How's that?

Bailey clearly led with the knee, hence should get a match ban as anyone who has played the game before knows how much danger that puts the tackler in.

As for the 'sh*thouse' comment I fail to see how you could argue. Bailey won't have played a match in his life where he hasn't done something illegal.

It was no worse than what Fielden does umpteen times a game but again the bile gets spouted because of who it is.
As for the other comment illegal in what way??
Conceding a penalty makes him a sh#t house does it?
Well the cherry and whites must have a squad full of them as the most penalised team in the league.
Toddle off to bed yer mum is getting cold!

Don't think Ablett meant to take Tomkins head off, it was meant to be a bump to the chest that he got all wrong. I'd have sent him off and probably given him a game or 2 ban.
I thought Bailey had shrugged off the raising the knee habit, just as Fielden did a few years ago. Probably a warning letter for that as I haven't seen him do it in the last 2 seasons.

Without question the better team. We'll have to agree to disagree about the ref (he's sh**e, no bias, just sh**e), as for showing us how to play RL.....

How do you work that out? You are a

Every team wrestles though, it's just Wigan do it better than most. They are really well coached in all the tricks, including holding the tacklers down whilst they get up to play the ball. If you dominate the tackle then there's no need to wrestle, and you certainly shouldn't place all your attacking emphasis on a quick play the ball like we do.
