Deserved red card. Reckless tackle.

To be fair Wigan were also the victims of one of those non actions against Leeds.

As for the red I'd blame the system rather than Thaler. A prime example of why the VR should be used in cases where serious foul play is suspected. If you watch the camera angle which is the direction Thaler viewed it from it was a nailed on red. My first thoughts, an I'm sure many other people's were that it was a bad one and a red. Subsequent camera angles show that first contact was not high and he slipped up in contact. On replays I don't think it was even a yellow but those weren't my first thoughts.

yes I posted exactly the same above

At first glance it seemed bad, but then on replay it was clearly at chest height and slipped up which was why the Wigan player shrugged it off. If it had been as bad as it misleadingly appeared the player would be sparko. So it's one of those wierd ones where the referee has been decisive, but unfortunately it was a bad decision. Let the video ref look at these things, and if the interpretation is going to be hardline then that's fine but it has to be consistent and we're going to have to accept regular sending offs in games.

It's a shame the ref wasn't as hardline on the ruck and play the ball. Both sides did it, but I think Wigan in particular were guilty of slowing down the ruck and not having markers square, which was wierd given they had a man advantage. SL desperately needs two referees to cut this out as it's getting boring now.

And to be fair i don't disagree

LOL, I think these night shifts are getting to me.

Shoulder to the head.

As was Raynor. Cynical & deliberate in my book. Although he could have claimed diminished responsibility as it was on Tomkins.
Amor's was also red. Otherwise it will become acceptable to decapitate anyone as long as you hit lower down first then onto the head. I accept, in Amor's case, any ban should reflect the accidental nature of the incident.

Amor looked like he feared the worst straightaway.
