And Charnley...?

Hopefully that question will be asked as well. But somehow I doubt it.

Personally i didnt notice it. Only guessing but maybe because he tries to get a quick play the ball and the KR players were lying on.

Back from the game didn't see what happened stood on the side but the view still not great it was off the ball as we were following the ball, as for touch judges one of them looked about 16yrs old, they just do not help the ref at all.
Can the RFL ask for footage from Wigan TV, not that it will help us now.

Not nit picking. Didn't expect anything other than a defeat today. Charnley does whinge a bit though.

All teams have them, however Charnley isn't usually one of them.

The Hull KR aggressive tactics were always going to rise a few questions to the officials from Wigan players today, evidently.

Just seen it now and I'm stunned nothing came of it at the time. In that away end, stood about 2.3 miles away from the pitch it was hard to see but that shouldn't be missed by a team of officials stood within 10 metres of it.

A truely sickening stiff arm that was meant to put Green out of the game. He should be looking at 6-8 games for that but will probably get 1-2 matches.

Disgusting.

Why did your team revert to sh*thousing 5 minutes into the game?

It's a pity we didn't keep the tactics going for the full game.

Sad !

Yes because that's what the supporters really want to see in a game of RL...........

Tell you what, why not field 13 MMA fighters, forget the ball and see what happens.................

Oh stop overexagerating, you're far from a team of angels, past or present.

From my experience of sitting with the Hull KR fans yesterday you are not going to have a sensible conversation with them... I wouldn't mind if it was the usual one eyed biased view but it was also simply made up drivel through the entire game.

Sam held back in the break down the left wing, pushed the Hull player - he should be send off, dirty &$^£.

Eric taken high and reacted, Wigan typical dirty ^^£@!

Offfsssiiiideee/Forwarddddd - Dobson was well offsite (1-2m) in about 50% of the plays.

Conversation with the nice bloke behind me with his wife and two under 5s.

Him, "typical dirty f&$ks"
Me, "errm, what about Blake Green being cleaned out by you lot?"
Him, "What the $^£& are you going to do about it?"

And that mixed in with "oh the big clubs get away with it" all the way through.

Normally you can have a bit of banter with the locals, but the gene pool seems to be somewhat limited over there.

Mr Peer, could you please help me?.
I watched the two minute highlights about 9.0pm and the incident wasn't shown, is it on another clip or has it been removed for whatever reason.
At the start of the clip it shows Wigan running the ball (then losing it),the screen then flashes for a couple of seconds and then just shows Green lying flat out. Cheers.

It's literally the first thing shown. Keep your eyes on Green from when he gets the pass from McIlorum.

Thanks Boverick, just watched it .

I was following the ball and even though I watched it countless times I never saw it until you pointed it out to me.

Exaggerating to prove a point. It's very easy to pick "players" who could beat 99.99% of RL players into next week.

Wouldn't make for entertainment though. The reason rules are there is to ensure that the game does not degenerate into this.

Awful tackle. Not even a little bit surprised the officials missed it though, they're consistent in that regard.

I missed it at first but having watched it back several times now their player ought to be facing a lengthy ban. Clearly lifts his shoulder and arm into the tackle and made no attempt to pull out once the ball had gone as that was his intention all along. He'd basically lined him up.

was that humberside? Because we missed it on our commentary as well. The ball had moved on.

The fact that so many people missed it shows how late the challenge on Green was! TBH I am always more concerned about incidents like this happening when a game is not televised as there is a lot more leeway for injustices being perpetrated, of whatever nature.
At least all future CC games this season will be televised, so there is less chance of this not being picked up by the officials.

I think people are saying they missed it because the 2 min highlights on Wigan TV give it the briefest of time you possibly could right at the start in order to fit all the tries in!

When you know its there and look for it there is no mistake about what went on.

No problem, guess the refs did the same - easily done.

Any news on his ankle?

I dont think its that late and should have been seen, the balls gone but not by much, its the swinging arm thats the issue and the intent.

It's a trick he learned whilst on loan at Hull KR.
