The gouging wasn't enough, he even went for the knockout blow

Hopefully we won't see Hock again this year
Illegal to slide in with the feet, Tomkins should be at Red Hall to keep him company
Dirty Wigan

also, when did knocking on whilst effecting a tackle become illegal again?

You have to hope that Hock was just trying to pull Harrison and his fingers were over his eyes – there is no place in our game for eye gouging

Hock was probably the best Wigan player today so he’s an idiot for putting himself in line for a ban (although he isn’t too bright so we can’t expect much more)

true colours showing, dirty and petulant

You said Sam had kicked him and caused a fresh cut. The only cut bleeding after the incident was from the left side of Clarke's head, on the side of the forehead above the left ear. Unless you're the one making random things up, it makes sense that's the cut your were alluding to.

Whatever, come on, let's see the screenshot. The bit where Sam kicks Clarke's face, anywhere in fact. Thing is, it doesn't happen so you can't.

Can't argue with that.

Stupid boy. Lengthy ban, big fine. Idiotic and dirty, no place for it in RL.

I told you, it was above his eyebrow. It was only a little blood. Im not sure why you have taken that so personally.

Because you're lying out your ar5e.

Just goes to show that Wigan are absolutely appalling losers.

Totally out classed today both in effort and sportsmanship. Lucky that Ganson wasn't reffing or there would have been some colour flying round.

Hock simply cannot play again this season after his attempted assault.

Sensational game from Warrington and i wish people would focus on their performance rather than Wigan's cup hangovers etc

We all saw it.

Tomkins boot went nowhere near Clarke’s head

I disagree, i think it caught him

regardless, my point was never about this specific incident, it was in general. Most fullbacks do it, and nearly always get away with it, my point was that they shouldnt.

Agreed

In the Challenge cup against the Catalans Stu Donlan flicked his boot at the ball as a Catalans player was putting it down with a full length arm , result 8 point try , so how can a much worse as in dangerous incident get basically nothing ?

It seems to me that W1g4n are turning into the new Leeds , some really bad stuff going on in our premier competition at the moment , time for the governing body to put a stop to it

How Hock stayed on the park is beyond me. Its about time this 'putting on report' rubbish ended. No more than a kop out for the refs.

Please explain, with examples.

Im not sure of the reasoning not allowing the VR to look at it. If they are trained, full-time referees with the degree of consistency that infers, surely the VR should be able to take two or three looks at that and advise the on field ref. He takes advice from the touch judges, why not the VR?

Its not like time is an issue, he took a minute or so to put it on report.

Because it's only Leigh. It was at Leigh and therefore insignificant.

They won last seasons grand final.

We are agreeing a lot today

I think you are the cleverest person on these boards. Might i boldly suggest, you are a genius?

Well thats just obvious

I must point out, i am on a course of Citalopram at the moment.

Petulant , niggley outright dirty play as soon as things don't go their way
