Strange decision by the ref last night to award a drop out against the Mighty Wire when Sita caught a chip kick within the in goal area. I couldn't see anything relating to the Mamo try as it was just too far away for my vision, but i think the Thewlis injury was purely accidental.

The Thewlis incident was a pure accident no doubt about it, just caught a glancing blow

However Isa was roughing him up and hitting him hard all night, bordering naughty. |

That's not the same thing though.
BTW and why not he's a young talented kid I'd expect it the other way round. There's nothing wrong with being "frewn to the floor vewy woughly" and I'd also expect his team mates to muck in and back him up. It's been a big part of the game and sport in general. |

Absolutely.
Does him more good than harm.
It did knock some sail out of Thewlis, the idea was to hit him hard and get him to cough up possession, don’t think he made more than 2 errors for the attention he got from him. Considering the size difference, I’d say the tactic failed. |

It was the far side of the pitch and without getting Wenger-esque would agree. Despite him having form I was a bit surprised that Hicks didn't go to the screen for Mamo's try before obviously awarding it having come to the same conclusion as us. |

I did want one of our bigger men to go teach Isa that he messes with one he messes with all. Not sure that happened but at least Coops threw that winger around like a rag doll and Clark made Partington look 8st in most of his tackles.

For the Mamo try I'm not sure what going to the screen would have achieved. It looked like both players going for the ball and therefore no penalty (the incident occurred close to me but I only saw it once and from one angle). The only question would have been, should the ref have stopped the game as soon as he saw that the player was down with a head injury? The Wigan medical team weren't hampered in getting to the player so I don't see a problem.

I was really worried from what saw on sky until he got up also the players reactions near him were not indicating anything particularly bad.
Hope he recovers well, I think he again had a good game, one on one defence was great he bounced up from the ISA hit on him I do think he will be one of the better full backs in the league in the coming years thankfully the NRL is awash with exceptional full backs at the moment, but if he continues to improve and can start coming into the line a bit more as an extra man. Still a long way to go but he's certainly the one player from our youngsters who have stood out as a level above. |

Same. The commentators reacted like they do when they see a broken leg etc.
Thewlis posted on Twitter that "everything's all good", so seems likes he's fine. |

I agree that the referees whistle, stopping someone running 80 yards away, is actually going to make no difference at all to the medical condition of the player who takes a knock to the head. Getting the medics on is the key. |

Great defensive effort, given the disruption to training and matches of the last few weeks, and losing Philbin during the game. Mamo's try was fair, Charnley tried to avoid Marshall and caught him with the inside of his leg at calf height. Lam's "kicked in the head" claim was an odd version of the truth, as no feet were involved. Wigan had enough ball in our 25 to win two or three games due to our terrible completion rate, and I wonder how much juice it takes out of the tank for Sunday at Headingley.

Marshall moved his arm to his face as soon as he realised he dropped the ball, hicks knew he was trying it on and ignored him. Lam looks like he’s lost £500,000 in Vegas and hoping his next hand wins

Well, re philbin going off, I was expecting sita to revert to the pack, and wrench to hut thr 3/4s.
Instead we ran off 15 players and had an unused sub again |

Yes, Price doesn't take many chances does he. I wonder if he will insist on wearing a crash helmet on the plane back to Oz. |

Agree with this, it will be good for josh in the long run if he keeps getting through the games despite the extra attention.
He's being targeted because he is good. |

The accidental contact with the head when tackling is a modern interpretation of the rules. The below has been added to to include any contact with the head during a tackle. However a head to head collision is not deemed a penalty nor head to hip, anything that isn’t part of the arm and not deliberate is deemed accidental and therefore ‘acceptable’ if unfortunate.

MISCONDUCT
Definition of misconduct 1. A player is guilty of misconduct if he:

(b) when effecting or attempting to effect a tackle makes contact with the head or neck of an opponent intentionally, recklessly or carelessly. |

To be fair ( tongue-in-cheek) was that the same final, when Benny attempted to remove Blake Greens head from his neck and shoulders. |
