Thought Westwood had a tremendous game, he kept Warrington in the game in the first half and he was out on his feet at half time. As for his swinging arm, sorry but he should have knocked Lauaki out. Leading with the elbow used to be a straight red and as he quite rightly pointed out to Silverwood when they had their conversation Wigan players had been sticking their forearms and elbows in the tacklers face all night.

The Wire players had been sticking elbows and forearms in the Wigan attackers all night, yet this wasn't picked up...

Benny Glassjaw couldn't knock a fly out.

You've been hanging around with Hock too much

We share a brain cell.

to be fair, Its my understanding that fosters offence was just the straw that broke the camels back, saints were warned not long before that about their persistent offending, it just happened to be foster that commited a foul minutes after that.

That's fair enough and I have no complaints about Foster's sinbinning. But for the same ref to allow the players to get away with what they did last night was wrong.

Warrington have been leading with the elbow all season, and hitting high all season but it's not been called

It seems that at the moment if Wire are in a tough game they get dirty. Sadly it's working for them because the referees are letting them play dirty.

I wasn't aware that kevin brown played for warrington.

dirty wire !

0/10

No, but he had his head taken off a few timed by Westwood and Grix without any help from the ref when he faced them.

Yes, Dirty Wire. Who'd of thought it eh..

it seems a certain set of fans have taken last nights result a lot worst than first thought

So was Briers leading with the head when he got decapitated by Tommy Lee?

Plenty of Warrington fans would disagree with you there.

i would wager all of them.

Indeed, any fans who knows a bit about rugby!!

nonsense

westwood will be the best till paul gallen comes next year

Benny's a good player, but that can do stupid things on the pitch. Not as cinical as other players but its a part of his game that backfire on Wire.

However I don't think he gets pinged for his shots as often as other forwards (he should have got a 1 match ban for his forearm drop on Webb for example). Which might explain why he likes to go for highshots some times.

He was defending his team mate - is that so bad

Yes,

When you consider he ended up smashing one his mates in the face.

Anyone defending Westwood must be trolling, right?

It's a deliberate attack to the head of a player who was being held by two opponents. It's either a grade C or D for deliberately striking, or D to F for a deliberate stiff arm to the head with no intention to make a legitimate tackle.

Either way he should be looking at 3 games as the very minimum.

Why is Westwood picked on so much on these forums. Nobody has said it but i suspect it's because he is white.

So - it is still a full contact sport - a mans game - a game in which tepers will occasionally flare. If you want a game sanitised to death watch football.
