I'd ban Westwood for being so thick as to think punching anyone as thick as Luauki would make any difference at all - I'd give him an extra match ban for being that stupid he actually hit his own player anyway!

As a Wigan fan, Lauaki should have seen red for the needless spear, but westwood and Lauaki should have got a yellow for the earlier leading arm/punch tackle.

When would there be a need for a spear tackle?

When Britney escapes?

He didn't, he clocked his team mate

Got to admit I was relieved when he stayed on the pitch. Been discussed at length but Silverwood was awful for both teams last night - bottled it time and again.

Actually he clocked 'em both. The front angle shows it best but he managed to clobber both men at the same time.

Horrible refereeing last night. Silverwood was terrible. Westwood should have got 10 minutes, Lauaki should have walked. Morley should have had 10 just to lessen his head count...Briers' offside, Hock's obstruction, Charnley's 'interference' at the jump(wtf!). I could go on but it's pointless.

Must admit, the Charnley incident was bemusing. If he was interfering, why did Silverwood not allow the advantage, rather than pull the Wire player back. I assumed at the time he was going to give offside against the Wire player. Refs in RL do not allow enough time for advantage to be played, they are too whistle happy.

Atkins was offside so he couldn't play the advantage and went back to the first offense by Charnley.

Bennie Westwood ‏ @bennie_westwood
@rararyan85 @briers6 looks like I'll be having a week off this week with that tackle so fry ups all week for me

Whatever the arguments about the incident, Westwood's peformance was phenominal;the man's a machine the best second rower in Super League.

If we get the new stadium in time he's the man to lead out his home town club at Newmarket.

He's not even the best second rower at Warrington (IMO).

That then goes back to the original issue of what exactly was the offence committed by Charnley? He was competing for the ball, the Wire player knocked it down to an offside team mate and the ref penalises the Wigan player.

Thought Westwood had a tremendous game, he kept Warrington in the game in the first half and he was out on his feet at half time. As for his swinging arm, sorry but he should have knocked Lauaki out. Leading with the elbow used to be a straight red and as he quite rightly pointed out to Silverwood when they had their conversation Wigan players had been sticking their forearms and elbows in the tacklers face all night.

The Wire players had been sticking elbows and forearms in the Wigan attackers all night, yet this wasn't picked up...

Benny Glassjaw couldn't knock a fly out.

You've been hanging around with Hock too much

We share a brain cell.

to be fair, Its my understanding that fosters offence was just the straw that broke the camels back, saints were warned not long before that about their persistent offending, it just happened to be foster that commited a foul minutes after that.

That's fair enough and I have no complaints about Foster's sinbinning. But for the same ref to allow the players to get away with what they did last night was wrong.

Warrington have been leading with the elbow all season, and hitting high all season but it's not been called

It seems that at the moment if Wire are in a tough game they get dirty. Sadly it's working for them because the referees are letting them play dirty.

I wasn't aware that kevin brown played for warrington.

dirty wire !

0/10

No, but he had his head taken off a few timed by Westwood and Grix without any help from the ref when he faced them.

Yes, Dirty Wire. Who'd of thought it eh..
