Masila 2 match shoulder charge.
Millington 1 match shoulder charge if he accepts it.

The player was falling when masila caught him.

2 matches was what I expected. I think that the Austin verdict (no penalty notice) was also fair.

Two weeks to the Wakefield game and, barring injuries during training, we know who is available. Price needs to crack on and work on those attacking moves on the training paddock.

Masila deliberately put the shoulder in no attempt at a proper tackle if it gets Matty’s chest or the ball it’s ok but if it gets his head whether mistimed or unintentional it’s a red card and subsequent ban.

You’d be screaming blue murder if say Kenny Edwards had done that to Chris Hill.

As a 60 something RL fan I get what BMM was doing my gripe would be with Austin and his ‘chicken-’ trip and fake head injury, back in the 70’s he would have got his come uppance on the blind side of the referee as most players in those days would have been fair with BMM’s tackle but hated that type of cheating.

I’m sure as I know the Huddersfield player who would have done it any Wire fan of the 70’s would be able to name the Warrington enforcer...

Why didn't Gale get 2 matches which 'was' it would seem to be the standard penalty for lifting over the horizontal. Apparently not anymore. Gelling should appeal to them numnuts
It says on the telly that a Bradford player got 8 matches for the same offence as Makinson last season. I won't hold my breath waiting for the punishment for Tommy.

Yes, I'll name any number of Warrington players who could handle themselves, if it would stop you from whinging about Saturday's game.

Consistency is a joke in our game. Whether discrepancies in refereeing decisions,rule changes & rules being overlooked mid season or judgements at the judiciary, consistency is non existent.

No complaints from me on the BMM charge.
Disappointed with Austin - certainly the 'trip' and arguably the 'injury'.

Wouldn't happen cause Chris Hill doesn't dip into tackles and isn't 5ft 2 lol.

BMM should be rewarded, if he wasn't there, the Huddersfield player may have fallen all the way to the ground and hurt himself even more

I quite agree. The 'injury' was no worse than Huddersfield milking the penalty when we were unable to roll out of the tackle (I think that it was Widopp?). Warrington player made a genuine attempt to get clear but Huddersfield player worked his socks off trying to fall over him. That doesn't make what Austin did right, but it wasn't one sided. The trip was just downright stupid. No chance of the Huddersfield player getting injured, which is probably why there was no further action, but we were down to 12 for a further 10 minutes (and rightly so).

We're 8 games into the season and we've lost 7 player / matches due to suspension, we've had 5 yellow cards (most in the competition), 1 red (joint top) and incurred 70 penalties (joint 2nd). We don’t expect them to be angels but we’re giving the opposition easy yards.

and yet we've got Hicks and now Thaler in our pockets

Yeh I wonder how we would manage without them 2

We should just hand over the two points to Huddersfield, the Challenge Cup to Saint Helens, and accept that we are to be exiled to the Championship for 2021.

Well ,i watched the Masilla incident again on the SL show & it was a completely unnecessary move by Masilla & in my eyes should have been a red card. He was very lucky.
At least the incident was on the ball though unlike the Cas player on Lomax.

I saw it as a shoulder charge to the head. If it was an opposition player I would’ve have been baying for a red card.

Makinson has had his (what should have been a) 8 game ban, reduced to 5.
No wonder the RFL are seen as [inot fit for purpose[/i

When he returns, after not playing for a while, will he get pulled off at half time?

Oooohhhh Matron!!!

I, as well as everybody else, knew he would not get 8 matches. Absolute joke of a Disciplinary Committee

Grade F offences shouldn't get the benefit of 'A good disciplinary record'. Absolutely disgusting what Makinson did.

I imagine he'll get a fair amount of sledging.

Have to be a bit careful sledging wingers, it seemed to inspire a certain Mr J Monaghan!
