| The ban for Thompson is wrong. It was just a shoulder charge and should just have been a penalty and no further action. His injury came as a result of the tackle (fair tackle) from Walmsley, nowt to do with Thompson.
Walsh got what he deserved imo. It's the other incidents you've highlighted from Wigan that were wrong. But Walsh's shouldn't be wrong as well just because others have been.

| Tbh i was at Saints game last Friday & i only saw the Thompson incident once in real time & it looked perfectly ok to me & i was surprised when Mr Childs even gave a penalty. I wasn't happy with the Walsh tackle though & was surprised the card wasn't red.

| No I'm not happy with the system as it is those unpunished challenges are a sham, however it's not a reason to justify Walsh not getting a ban. Or saying shouldn't even be a yellow as worse tackles have gone unpunished.
If those tackles had been punished u would be happy with the two game ban?? Probably not as your description of the tackle is just towing the club line
Yes it started as a good hit however the foul was committed when the Walsh threw him to the ground had he lift n drive to ground as we see every week not even a pen but he didn't and is deserving of his ban

| I've not seen the Thompson tackle but Walsh is lucky just to get two games IMO. It was a bad one.

| If you ask me. They should un-ban the lot if they can't get it consistent.
I don't want to see tiddly winks anyway. Nowt wrong with pre 90s rugby. I don't recall broken necks through the 70s and 80s of rugby I watched with mucho gusto!

| Absolute rubbish physically the game has changed massively today's collisions are much bigger than in the 80/90s
Were seeing many more injuries now than previously as a result of a dwindling pool of players getting a hammering week in week out with little respite and often playing with an injury. Allowing those types of tackles is not going to improve the situation nor make the game better.
