Agreed it was a sending off offence, but Manu was getting away with constant thuggery all game and just got put on report for clotheslining Sam.

I'm not sure it was a sending off offence myself.

Has been showed on SSN since i got home. He runs the ball in with his arms down and as the impacts made his elbows goes up. It certainly isnt as if he went straight in with the elbow straight out.

Fair enough, haven't seen a TV replay yet, looked bad live though, (although from a long way away, middle of the east).

I was in the East aswell and thought what a complete idiot but to me looking at the tv repley he may have been hard done to.

Picked out yeaman and ran straight at him with his forearm/elbow raised, it was a baddun and deserved a red

He'll miss the game against Warrington don't worry

cheers mate, as i mentioned on the wire board already, with his nack of giving away penalties im undecided on whether it would be better for him to be missing or not.

He certainly led with it.

i thought it was us with the bad name for wrestling and holding down
they was well worse than us or hudds have been in last two years today
and every tackle to not just wen there on back foot

Nah i'm sorry but i've sky plus'd it and watched it over a good few times his arm comes up in the impact he definatley doesnt lead with the elbow. I dont think he'll get a ban at all.

SKY+ ? Is it on SSN then? I'll go and have a look (if it's still on), looked raised to me when I saw it.

I'll cry myself to sleep tonight that we only beat Hull by 2 points........honest I will



They played really well today and we were poor. We're not being helped by a few injuries at the minute but the squads strong and remains unbeaten.

Times are hard being a Wigan fan right now

thats wat im saying smashed him off with 2 arms in an upward motion hitting chest first

As soon as i got home it was showing the highlights. Didnt show initial fight but shows the Joel incident and the rest. Looking at the replay of Westermans try that was a dodgy grounding aswell looks as if he bounces the ball.

Bingo, they both should have been sin binned for the fight. That said - who's bright idea was it to give the ball to J. Tomkins straight after the fight? He was always going to do something stupid.

Never a try.

It was right infront of where I was sat and I couldn't believe it when Ganson awarded the try. Even Westerman looked like he couldn't believe it and to be fair I don't blame Ganson. His view was obstructed and he got given the decision by the ingoal judge.

i was sat at other end of south and there looked two dodgy ones think the other was brisco or yeaman cant remember

the 2nd one was definately a try, the 1st one wouldnt have been given if we were on Sky.

Briscoes was right infront of us aswell and that was a try without doubt. He planted his feet in goal and put the ball down between his legs. It was a fantastic finish from a fantastic young player.

If Ian Lenagan just happened to be looking for a replacement outside back and was willing to part with a chunk of cash he'd be my choice.

looked like it bounced but like i say i was at other side of stand

I thought it bounced to be honest.

Thought Phelps was very solid for them throughout the game, considering it's his first start in months. Could very well end up being one of their best players this season.

Speak for yourself! I travel form Chester and have to negotiate Thelwall but Friday's are miles better. The way home is quiet traffic-wise



Well I set off at 1:15pm and sat down in my seat at 14:50. I have just got in at 18:20 and all my time was basically travel - game - travel so there wasn't much of a day of it in the sense of what I mean by making a day of something so basically Sunday games take all of my Sunday which for me and my Wigan supporting son is fine but the the other two family members who for various reasons don't and can't go to games it's nit much fun.

Sky sports news report coming up in a minute...

Any one know the penalty count from today?

13-6 to Wigan. The four in a row Wigan got post sending off were particularly useful I think.
