Classy.

Simple...

I said from the start it was worth 3 matches reduced to 2 with EGP and I've not changed my mind.

cretin?..irony

Not taking EGP, facing disciplinary tonight.

Bad move IMO, 3 match ban coming, should have took the EGP and feet up for the semi.

I really don't understand, surely the club don't think it should be downgraded? He loses the EGP anyway and is now running the risk of missing the CCSF. Shocking move really, especially when we are so down on backrowers at the minute!

We've lost the plot on that one IMO. If he gets the three games now then the club really do deserve a kicking.

As much as I don't believe he went to hurt the lad, he should have felt pretty lucky at getting just two games.

I can only assume they want it downgrading to Grade B (careless), they can then use his previous good record and the sending-off to hope for just a 1-match ban. The disciplinary have been known to use Grade B when a player is "stepped and reaching", as they put it, which is what happened.

It's a gamble, but it could pay off.

I'm sure when Mr Wane puts across his reasons as eloquently has he does whenever he speaks your player will be okay

*as

I said the other day it should be a 2 game reduced to 1. A 3 game ban would be ridiculous and 2 is quite harsh based on previous offences by other players.

He won't be there, it's his wedding anniversary. Pity really, his eloquence worked fine for Ben Flower a few weeks ago.

He must have a luck rabbits boot in his boots or something!
Just heard that he has previously got 31 charges scott free in the past, so no wonder you are challenging
If it was Ryan Baily or Hock it would have been a 6 game ban easily
The player is stood upright and not changing direction (although the ball is) totally wreckless and borderline malicious

The village idiot is back I see

Sorry I forgot you weren't allowed to saying anything remotely against any wigan players



It was a fair tackle
Matty Smith for England 7
Wane is a tactical mastermind

Happy?

They've won a game haven't they so it was bound to happen. As and when they clock up a few more the bulls*it will increase.

The bulls*itometre could explode if Leeds beat us on Friday.

Middle 8's are we......

He's been banned for one game! Ha ha.

Let the meltdown commence.

Are you not embarrassed at that outcome. The MRP have just shown that it's the club you play for that affects the punishment

If it's annoying you, i'm perfectly happy with the result.

I'm gutted.

He's also got a £300 fine, which he wouldn't have if he'd used his egp.

Typical Wigan trivialise a bad tackle with poor attempt at humour.

Or they took the punishment already received (red card) and his excellent disciplinary record (no previous bans in his career) into account, plus any other submissions put forward in his defence.

But you know...could be what you said...
