It isn’t.

The incident Fash got banned for happened in the 9th minute and the video shows Watkins scoring in the 11th.

Don't believe everything you see on twitter kids

Reminds me of what Abraham Lincoln said ‘Don’t believe everything you see on the internet’

I'm a scholar and a poet

Looking forward to the game on Sky tonight! Think it'll be a GF dress rehearsal

Plus we'll get to see our new signing, Bevan French, in action

Great try. Can't wait to see him here next season

Jon Wilkin is gunna be insufferable

Every team does it but the goading of a player when he makes a mistake is pathetic.

Wigan look so much better under Peet and are very impressive tonight. If only we played with half the intensity as Wigan we’d be so much better.

Wilkin just talking out his arris is irritatingly nauseous. Inconsistency in the officiating to as had that been Jake that did what Harry Smith did in rubbing Welsby on the head there’d have been a card issued without any doubt.

Saints are well off

It’s all the injuries they have as they’ve been decimated according to Wilkin



The fact is Wigan have matched if not bettered the speed, aggression and intensity that St’s play at and just not given them any time or space.

Wigan have them rattled for sure.

Glad I’ve got it on mute, can’t stand listening to him and the way he starts most sentences with ‘Look….’

Thaler proving he’s still the best ref in the league tonight. No stupid set restart calls and over the top officiating of aggressive play.

Certainly got it in for Welsby



4 or 5 of them made a point of laughing at him when he dropped it.

It was good to see, about time the little cheat got some back

Adds spice and a bit of edge want the game back how it was

It's rugby league not netball

"OH HE CAN'T DO THAT ITS NOT RIGHT" snowflake bridage is ruining the game

It does to an extent however you’ve got ‘tough guys’ like Smithies acting like they can do whatever they want because opposition players don’t wanna get a massive ban for throwing a punch at him.

Screaming in an opponent's face like Smithies did or ruffling a player's hair is a bit pathetic, as is the term "snowflake brigade" (assuming that's what you meant by "bridage"icon_wink.gif.

Won’t have seen Knocker, Crooks or Charlie Stone acting so childish



It’s all getting a bit pathetic

I'm sure Griffin got binned for similar against Wigan a few years back.

Going to look a bit silly if Saints win the GF now.

He didn't get binned but the penalty was awarded against him. He did it to Partington in the semi final. A pivotal part of the game I remember.

But its the old guard threatening to sue nonsense that has caused all this

The game needs to get back to normal

No one put a gun to they're head and said play rugby

Yeah it was
