That guy was a moron. I remember when Adrian Morley got sent off for decked him at Headingley. It was pleasing on so many levels.

We really need one of those players now though. It makes me want to vomit when Wane comes out with these comments about how his players will protect little Sam because there are so many trying to hurt him, yet three or four of the biggest thugs in the league are Wigan players. (Hock, McIllorum, Frodo and Lima). We've got no one who will stand up to that physical aggression like we always used to have and we get bullied.

What we need is a young Shane Webke

I'd prefer a sonny Nickle. He was big, fast, agressive, never gave up and hard as nails.

He was also 100% turd.

Sadly he was also a penalty machine, now Webcke or Tallis in the redvee .. yes please

In his second stint with us he was very well behaved; until the robbie mears incident, which was awful.

I think he did mature a bit yes. Not many good enforcers around these days sadly, people some times think aggression means you have to be dirty too, McIlorum is just a second rate thug who'll spend his career in Roby's shadow, he's not even the best 9 at the pie dome, that honour goes to a guy who is aggressive but not imo dirty , Tommy L

McIlorum was deservedly sent off and will now get a ban. It was stupid and foolish and cost us any chance of the win. Hopefully he will now learn his lesson...

I've only just seen the challenge. Any defence of it is completely laughable, any tackles like that should be red carded without question.

you dont get much worse than a late high swinging arm when the player your 'attacking' has their back turned. Cowards tackle.

He's making a habit of blindsiding people. He punched Elima from the side too, a similar angle to the much berated Magennis punch on Tuson.

Late, high, pre-meditated, dangerous, cowardly or all of the above as i prefer.
Got lucky by not breaking Boof's jaw.

Has been given a Grade C which basically means "reckless" and 1-3 games.
Nice to see the RFL saw the bright side of it and not the cocked arm and major impact with the forearm and Boof's face. There was impact on the shoulder first that i didnt see very well????!

Perry was also a huge moron dropping on Lima, riled them up nice and good however. Silly and surprised he didnt get a letter telling him off.

Dudson also got away with a cheap one on LMS when he dumped him head first after LMS had offloaded. Oh and factor in St Sam of Tomkins left swing at Jones and the officials missed a few.

Reckless? It could only been more premeditated had he been punching him repeatedly in the face!

If he got 3 matches then if Wigan win their first game he is out for the GF, if they lose he could be back for the GF, if they get that far?

Didn't someone on here say they were going to try and scam it, and have his ban count towards some U20 games?

You are quite right the man is a complete disgrace and a liability to his teammates. Like you I’ve seldom seen a more dangerous cowardly not to say vicious tackle on an opponent who was so completely unaware of the reckless thuggery about to come out of the blue, but he (MM) will get his just deserts today. Sad to say a long ban would not match the crime that both you and I witnessed, but I hope that it may set a small example to other idiots in the future. I was amazed that Laffranchi could soldier on through the game, and I would not be surprised if he missed the game this weekend with concussion after such a clotheslining. I think it was just sheer luck he wasn’t hospitalised. Good luck for the game this weekend.

That is the most honest open and fair minded comment I've seen in a while.

Well done that man.

indeed

He has been given a 3 game ban and rightly so.

hope the club do him aswell personally. im all for tough rugby but i think it was premeditated and theres no room for that in this day and age. He was the top hooker in the league for the first half of the year but seems to have gone off the boil.

Who will be appointed to be the Master of Thuggery for next weeks game. (Wanes World)...............Is Hock long overdue for a ban?

Ridiculously lenient but as good as it was going to get under the current ludicrous guidelines. How it's fair for a first time offender to get a one game ban for some nothing offence that hardly anyone at the ground even notices, while a proven thug gets 3 games for deliberately and blatantly trying to cripple someone just amazes me. He may not even miss the final if Cats do 'em this weekend...

Wigoons are appealing against the decision. Can just see Wane grunting.........The Referee didn't get it right, The Disciplinary didn't get it right. I have players in my team who can sort out this injustice.....................The Chronicles of Wanes World.

What credit and credibility that buffoon had before the game was blown away forever by his defence of the tackle after the game. You don't lambast your own player in public to be fair, but you don't say they were completely in the right and blameless and that the referee just got it wrong after that kind of a challenge unless you're a serious heavy duty ****er worthy of nothing but derision....
