I can not believe that Morley was not even cited for that disgraceful head tackle on Mc Gillvary in Friday's match

well he wasn't wearing a Wigan shirt, so it's to be expected

None of our lads up, I knew Fridays defensive effort would pay dividends

Absolutely ridiculous.

Is anyone actually shocked?

Yes.

I thought McGillvary might get cited for headbutting Lord Morley's arm.

Sadly not in the slightest.

I'm about as shocked as I would be to turn Jeremy Kyle on and see a chav.

Wire fan in peace ladies and gents.

I am surprised that this is an issue.

It isn't against the rules what Morley did. The impact was the shoulder there was no swinging arm.

Shoulder impact is perfectly acceptable.

not if it ends up in the face its not

Not here to start an argument, i'm genuinely not. But that is just plain wrong.

Please show me where that law is written.

are you serious?

Section 15 Misconduct

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

You lot bored of the same stuff every week.

That sounds pretty unequivocal to me.

It does, doesn't it.

Now keep count of how many of them are penalised.

not many

in fact there is hardly a tack in rugby league when contact isn't made with the head or neck at some point

they are penalized but not dealt with...thats the point of the thread.

i wasn't on this board last year but.

Was there uproar on this board when Moz smashed HH at our place?

Was there uproar when Ben Harrison bent Fielden backwards at your place?

Both of those were contact shoulder to head, both were much harder than this one, and both tackled players suffered worse effects

neither was penalised and neither player was cited

oxymoron alert!

by being penalised they have been dealt with!

Morley hit Hansen in the shoulder, hence his op a few weeks later.

My friend, Morley hit hansen direct in his face, hence the momentary loss on conciousness.

It was as plain as day.

If a defending player ducks/slips into a tackle is it still an offence?
I'm pretty sure if they both stood next to each other his head would be higher than Moz's shoulder and Moz didn't jump in the tackle which would conclude it's the attacking players fault.
A shoulder charge isn't illegal unlike in union.

Moz stood his ground and dropped the shoulder, no swinging arm. It was just his intention to hit him hard the fact it was the guys face is just bad luck for him.

Penalty given, not cited, no ban, end of story, get over it.

read the rest of the thread moron....

Not dealt with by the disciplinary committee

Lets be honest, unless you are in a wigan shirt, very little gets done and you can cite so many examples its unreal:
Sean Long, allowed to play in the CC final before he was banned for betting after waiting weeks for the hearing.
Leon Pryce trying to take Brian Carneys head off at Old trafford(knock on Wigan ??)
Onthe other hand, we tackle round the legs and get a ban, Look at the ref in a funny way and get a penalty against us!!! go figure.
It goes back a very long way to the officials of today totally resenting Wigan as their own team were smashed by them in the early nineties. It will always happen and always be denied but the RFL could not run a P**up in a brewery and are so bent that they find it difficult to lie straight in bed.
That said, the big bonus is that no one else can be Wigan, we are the best, set the benchmark and wind everyone else up when we do well. Great innit !
