He should have been sent off for appalling technique.

Tony Smith should drop him so he can have two weeks in a boxing ring to avoid future embarrassment

Agreed.

As said we've seen red cards for a lot less. Why no red this time?
Unless Pettybourne said something to start the incident then why on earth was he sin binned as well? Just seems like a refs kop-out.

Personally I think a yellow for Wood, not for Pettybourne, and penalty to Wigan would be the right call.
I don't think reds are necessary for a bit of biff between props. But going on what we've had for a couple of years it should've been a red for consistency.

The yellow for Pettybourne is ridiculous though.

Cheap shot merchant mickey mac at it again.

Mcillorum you prick

Haha, Joel moon gets red for an accidental head hitting his shoulder.

Mcilorum gets off with taking out a player with the shoulder from behind a good deal AFTER he had passed the ball.

Any bets on him doing another dirty tackle in the next few mins and still no punishment

Half right

Moon got RED for using a shoulder to the head

Moon should have been red which it was , let's see the rfl disciplinary committee turn to jelly on this outcome

Hardly surprising, yet another Queens bellend

Fwiw what a cracker of a game

Anyone saying that Joel Moons red was even close to as deserving as that assault is ridiculous.

Let's see how long it takes Micky Mac to end someone's career.

Well I think he was involved in a cannonball tackle in the first half on Waterhouse & got away with it, if that counts.

The more I see of him, the more he reminds me of Terry Newton.

I don't mind Moons red as long as we have consistent rulings. Which at the moment the refs are no where close to consistent.

Paul Wood played for queens?

Yes, he was a bellend as well

No he's from wiggin, which means he's a 50% chance of being a bellend

Hope the player who was taken off in a neck brace is OK, after McIlorum's late shoulder charge.

Usual display of thuggery from Mickey Mac. Is it too much to ask Bentham to grow a pair and produce the red really?

Let's not compare McIllorum and Newton. It's like saying what's worse, AIDS or ebola.

To be fair I think if referees spot shoulder charges to the head they produce red cards.

Paul wood yellow was correct, but the yellow to Pettybourne was a completely cop put from Bentham.

The Mccllorum shot was very poor. Very dangerous play when a players turned his back and is relaxed. Tomkins was a poor challenge as well.

I can't speyk!

That were absolutely diabolical!

Send him off, send the dirty git off! That's just typical of what he is! Get him walking!

If you've got any bottle Bentham he should walk. You bottle-less git Bentham, you d**khead!

I can't speyk!

Typical from McIlorum. He's a coward. Always has been.

Both Stuart Cummins & Paul Cullen, no major Wigan fans, saw it as a late challenge with the chest and nothing more. I'd tend to agree with them.

i thought exactly the same when it happened, i even said "bottleless get" as he produced the yellow

and joe wardle got a red card and 3 match ban a couple of years ago for very much the same thing.. consistency?? only if you play for the right teams!
