Hope he's ok. It was a bad one and deserved red card. Cahill isn't that type of player but it was reckless at best but the main thing is Hodgsons health. Top player.

It was bad and deserved a red, but in chills defence, it certainly wasn't deliberate, just lazy and hodgeson was going downwards, but rules are rules I'm afraid

Don't even think it was lazy mate. He was fully committed and steaming in and Hodgson was crouching. If Hodgson was stood upright it would have been a great tackle but he wasn't and Cahill had to walk.

Felt sick watching that tackle with all the replays. We have great medical teams in SL so I'm sure he will be okay but still awful to see, and that's not even from a Warrington fan.

He's a great player so I hope he's fit for the play-offs, or if not, you have someone to step into his shoes.

Rightfully a red card but also unlucky. Not malicious. Sending off sufficient IMO

Rightly a red, hope Brett is OK top player full respect form the Hudds club to him

Was a red, but don't think it was intentional as Hodgson was falling down

Cheers. He didn't mean it so I feel for him in a certain way but when you don't look at what you're tackling it's reckless, so as you say he deserved the red.
Hodgson looked a right mess.

Well done on your win tonight, though. Something like a 160-30 turnaround from last season to a double over us this season; you baßtardß!

He's not that type of player ?Of course he is or else he wouldn't have assaulted Hodgson. One of the worse attacks I've seen. His face was splattered, and yes, I was there. Unfortunately.

Top player, always seems to cop one at least once per game. Hope he's back sooner rather than later

He'll be back next week, he's a machine I'm sure he is. Never seen a player take so much biff and come back like Brett does.

Absolutely, the game has undoubtedly gone softer and more sterile, but I bet this guy disagrees!

Can see it now, sending off sufficient no further action.

I hope not, and I don't care if we lose without him. Even allowing for the amount of hammer Brett takes, that was a bad one and he should be rested. Anyway, isn't concussion a mandatory one week-off arrangement or has that gone out of the window?

Very bad tackle with contact to the head. Red card was right decision. Lets let the disciplinary decide on the seriousness. He should kop a ban of sorts.

It was the "let him die" chants from the Widnes fans that annoyed me as he was lying in a heep on the floor. This on top of the two smoke bombs and fighting with stewards. What a lovely bunch.

Thank goodness we've got a free weekend next week. Any news on how he is?

Saw one widnes fan in a white t-shirt come down shouting abuse while he was recieving treament what a sick individual he was,hope he feels proud of himself MORON

Yes all this "Not that kind of player" stuff annoys me ands it isn't relevant. Does that mean that only players who have DEATH tattooed on their knuckles and a meat cleaver secreted in their socks deserve a ban?

He may not have meant to hurt Brett but it was dangerous play and dangerous play should be punished.

And don't get me started on this early plea malarkey.

Phil Clarke thought it was ok...I kid ye not! He thought it was a legit tackle on a man going to ground. Outragous from the pie eyed to55ER.

Incidentally it took three posts for a Wigan fan on TotalRL to claim the 'tackle's wasn't zven worth a yellow. I hope Brett gets into a playable state soon but after that I wouldn't be surprised if he's done for 2013.

Sad to hear about the Widnes fan baiting him. I was in the West when Mathers almost killed King and had to put up with Wiganers shouting that they hoped he ended up in a wheelchair - not nice.

Anyone got any update on Brett's condition?

"@Cterristaylor Hodgson has stitches on his nose and is 'a bit slow' according to Smith. But seems to be fine other than that. #Wire"

Well have it how you will but Hep Cahill is not 'that type of player'. It was a poor, mistimed tackle and he should be punished for it.

It might be expected from Gareth Hock, or dare I say Morley or Westwood but not Cahill. He went for the big hit and unfortunately for Hodgson, he got it wrong.

No excuse for the morons on the terraces though. Kick em out of the game

Glad Hodgson OK. Had to be a red correct decision but no real malice - Hodgson was low with bent knees as is his style and the tackler was committed and couldn't get low enough with Hodgson in that position. One match would be a good penalty with warning about technique.
