Seems about right! Mason to get 2 for the stamp. Then them all to get the same for fighting prob a telling off!! Unless they deem sin binnings as suitable punishment then Grifin may get a game but it would be harsh if he got more than the other 2!

Im glad some Huddersfield fans can talk sense, theres some extreme bias going on with others...

Pots and kettles.

I honestly havent seen the 'Tomkins stamp' that a couple of Giants fans have mentioned, so im not defending him nor commenting on whether he should have been charged. But if it was as bad as the Mason one, then:

1)Why wasnt it even looked at?
2)Why have no other fans from other clubs mentioned it? Apart from one clueless and biased Saints fan.

To me that suggests it could be anywhere near the Mason one. Its not 'Pots and Kettles', as some of you Giants fans are actually defending the cowardly actions of your own player, whilst other Giants fans can accept it was bad and deserves a ban. Its not like many of us have complained that Fielden has been charged, imo he should have been, but I reackon both him and Griffen will get a warning at best.

Its pots and kettles because for years Wigan have been the home to one of the dirtiest, most cowardly players in Super League in the shape of Sean O'Loughlin (and Terry Newton before him)

Now thats an over exaggeration. When does he intentially stamp on players on the ground? Not defending some of his tackling, but he hardly opts for the cowardly approach. Unlike many of you I can actually except when one of our players does something, hence why I had absolutely no complaints when Coley got sent off and then suspended for 2 games in July.

LOLalicious!

Well though out response there... and I didnt even defend Lockers, just saying it was an over reaction to say he's the dirtiest Superleague player.

Ok then, Mason is inocent and it was an accident but at the same time he was just winding Fielden up. So its not his fault. Everyone at Wigan are dirty players and always get away with it and no Giants players ever do anything wrong, and there all sweet little angels...

Well you're certainly an expert on over-reactions, that is for sure.

ATEOTD you're biased as well. To make insinuations of bias when you see some of the utter guff that has been posted over on Wigan's board, well, it's a bit rich. So you'll have to forgive me if I find that a tad funny.

at the end of the day this is about a guy who stamped, stood, whatever you want call it on Fielden. Yet not many Gaints fans can get past their bias and admit that its was wrong and he deserves a ban. What this has to do with Lockers I dont know and just shows how baised you are that your trying to justify Mason by your hatred of Lockers. Not an overreaction just simpley saying it how it is. If im biased then it really doesnt say much for you.

We'll go with the RFL then, standing

2-3 games

Seasons 2009 and season 2010 to date

Up before the RFL

Mason 10 times (various offences)..........1 £300 fine

O Loughlin 11 times(mainly head high or grapple)......Nothing


Pretty even on appearances, your boy seems very lucky when hes up before em

I havent defended him. Ive seen several times were I think some of our players have been lucky to get away with it. I just wish fans of other clubs could say the same. IMO the disciplinary is rather too weak in Superleague.

Well ive got it at 15mins 37 and all I can see is fighting after Mason stamps on Fielden!! Its about 1 min later and even Faalogo doesnt react as its not intentional he would have to be talented to be holding a bloke that big and re adjust to stand on his hand!!

While we are on it if Mason and Fielden get 10 for fighting why does Griffin stay on??

He's defending his himself incase Fielden accidentally connects with someone. Fortunately Fielden had his eyes closed and missed everyone.

Or incase Mason decides to come in from hiding at the back!! Or maybe Lawrence stops trying to tickle Hansen with a cheap shot to the kidneys!!!

Haven't made any comment regarding O'Loughlin at all. Haven't defended Mason's treading on Fielden. So this supposed bias I am displaying highlighted via these comments I haven't made which is you apparently 'saying how it is' are in reality a nice little snippet of your own bias that you apparently do not have!

Like I say, LOLalicious!

He ran straight at Fielden, how much more front on do you want

Neither Mason nor O'Loughlin have been "up before the RFL" that many times. Having an incident reviewed on the Monday morning is not being "up before the the RFL".

You got the drift which was my point, couldnt be bothered going thru any charges that did arise.

Surely it making the review is going up before them regardless of further action

I actually said at half time when i saw it again on the screen that Mase would be in trouble for that !!

As for saying he hid - wot tosh - Mase ran in, shoved him and then stood right in front of Fielden waiting for his reaction and then they got it on - hardly running away is it ?

Griffin will be lucky to escape a ban because he joined in something that didn't involve him, a la [url=http://www.therfl.co.uk/about/disciplinary_item.php?id=471McCarthy-Scarsbrook[/url last year. 1-2 matches, although his previous record may not help him.

Mason should get at least 2 for the stand-on, more if his previous record is taken into account. I expect Fielden will get one match, but due to the aggravation involved (being stood on and then Griffin getting involved) and previous good record, I won't be surprised if he gets just a fine.

Brown was stupid to do that ankle tap in front of the referee. Nothing "malicious" in it, but I thought Professional fouls were supposed to be an instant red?

If you watch the footage of the incident from the camera behind the play you see Richards dummy towards Tomkins right before Brown ankle taps him. From the angle Tomkins was running this move is unsighted by Bentham.

It goes someway to explain why it happened.

Well, it's understandable, but I'm not sure "I thought he was going to get the ball" would stand up under scrutiny.

Kevin Brown isn't a dirty player, either. In fact, all your ex-Wigan contingent (who combined brilliantly for Robinson's try) learnt their trade well at Wigan, all of them are good, clean, quality players.

I think it would also be fair to say Tansey's in for the roughest ride tomorrow...

A profeesional foul is a yellow card not a red.

Mason is looking at at least a couple of games. But you talk about his previous record. This is his fourth season at the Giants and the only time i remember him in any trouble was for fighting Peacock in a pre season friendly. He is nothing like as dirty as people are making out.
Griffin should be ok. If he ran in to fight he would be in trouble but he was right next to Fielden when the trouble started. You could easily have cited a couple more players from each side for running in (Riddell can clearly be seen throwing a punch)
