Look again. Moa's feet never left the floor. In fact, his knees were bent so he wasn't even fully upright. Moa was sent off for what was deemed to be a careless challenge. Both Lauaki and Westwood made deliberate attacks to the head tonight and stayed on the pitch.

Did Ablett get anything for doing the same as Westwood for Leeds against Manly?

I agreed that the Moas was a red card. But Westwoods was a straight red (and i wanted Warrington to win)

Consistency in the game is a joke.

Also will be interesting to see if Hanson gets a ban for his shot when Westwood dropped the ball and had his back turned.

So according to Silverwood, one man can lead with a forearm/elbow and THEN carry out a spear tackle, another man can swing an arm to the head of an opponent. Then last week a man can attack a player off the ball. All of these men can stay on the field and be banned later, but if a player interferes at the PTB he is sent from the field for 10 minutes??

What is wrong with this game????

i dont think hansen will but if you look at o'loughlin tackle in the first half he drops on the player with an elbow i dont know if it was delibrate but it happend and if the rfl look he will have a case.

well in benny lad.

Troll more.

Westwood should've seen yellow and Lauaki red imo. He should cop 3 games at least.

1 game if that.

Both men - no case to answer. Its Silverwood who should be banned - permanently.

Melodramatic much?

Ha ha, very feeble Mr weasel. Glad to see that Leeds are getting up your nose so much that you have to reference them or one of their players on every thread. If your eyes hadn't been painted on you would have noticed that Manly would have ended the game with 10 men following two dangerous spear tackles and an elbow to peacocks face from one of the criminals. Still, don't let tonights game between Wire and Pies stop you from having a litle dig at the World and Superleague Champions. Hurts doesn't it ?

So for consistency can anyone confirm if Ablett got charged for doing exactly what Westwood did?

If he did Westwood should be charged. If not, it's seems to be OK to punch players who have comitted a foul against your team.

I'd ban Westwood for being so thick as to think punching anyone as thick as Luauki would make any difference at all - I'd give him an extra match ban for being that stupid he actually hit his own player anyway!

As a Wigan fan, Lauaki should have seen red for the needless spear, but westwood and Lauaki should have got a yellow for the earlier leading arm/punch tackle.

When would there be a need for a spear tackle?

When Britney escapes?

He didn't, he clocked his team mate

Got to admit I was relieved when he stayed on the pitch. Been discussed at length but Silverwood was awful for both teams last night - bottled it time and again.

Actually he clocked 'em both. The front angle shows it best but he managed to clobber both men at the same time.

Horrible refereeing last night. Silverwood was terrible. Westwood should have got 10 minutes, Lauaki should have walked. Morley should have had 10 just to lessen his head count...Briers' offside, Hock's obstruction, Charnley's 'interference' at the jump(wtf!). I could go on but it's pointless.

Must admit, the Charnley incident was bemusing. If he was interfering, why did Silverwood not allow the advantage, rather than pull the Wire player back. I assumed at the time he was going to give offside against the Wire player. Refs in RL do not allow enough time for advantage to be played, they are too whistle happy.

Atkins was offside so he couldn't play the advantage and went back to the first offense by Charnley.

Bennie Westwood ‏ @bennie_westwood
@rararyan85 @briers6 looks like I'll be having a week off this week with that tackle so fry ups all week for me

Whatever the arguments about the incident, Westwood's peformance was phenominal;the man's a machine the best second rower in Super League.

If we get the new stadium in time he's the man to lead out his home town club at Newmarket.

He's not even the best second rower at Warrington (IMO).

That then goes back to the original issue of what exactly was the offence committed by Charnley? He was competing for the ball, the Wire player knocked it down to an offside team mate and the ref penalises the Wigan player.
