correct, and it could be argued he was commited to the tackle. the penalty was sufficient.

It could also be argued black was white. It isn't, but it could be argued that it was.

It would be interesting to actually hear the press conference rather than just read the words. Having seen how Nathan's interviews have been quoted and printed in various places this last week and then actually hearing the interview on the BBC website on Saturday I know that things can be cut and pasted to have different weightings.

I'd rather actually hear the entire section instead of just a snippet.

brown sending out the boys with instructions to do the same back if the officials arent going to sort it out





certainly wouldnt mess with mason or faalogo.... griffin will be upset he didnt get a mention



notice crabtree didnt get a mention



brown could of just said ill send whatuira out

Griffin got leathered of Hansen so maybe thats why. Soft lads dont play this game and if Brown thinks people will be running scared and be bullied hes living in cuckoo land.

I agree its laughable

You are indeed.

that made no sense well done

Whereas this is perfect sense eh!

Your reasoning is total garbage and your English isn't far behind. I get the feeling O'Loughlin could have chopped Robbo's head off with an axe and you'd say there was nothing in it!

he could have chopped his head off but like I said he hit him in the chest.

He got him high on the chest, very late, with intent.

Is it in any way comparable to the Drew tackle? Not in a million years, yet that is the best you can come up with.

Stick to arguing that black is white, there is more legs in that for you I think.

ATEOTD it's all chip paper now anyway. The game is gone, Wigan deservedly won but O'Loughlin was a lucky boy to get away with just a ticking off.

was a late challenge thats all. High in the chest is fair, of course it had intent it was a tackle.

High in the chest well after the ball has gone with the player completely unprepared as a result is dangerous. He had plenty of time to pull out of it, he didn't. He is a lucky boy. EOS.

pieman you dont make much sense with your sentences



as for the late tackle incident.. it was a late challenge yes.. at most a sin binning though as it was only the first incident of the game really

makes sense to others as they comment on them.

Like I said I agree with you it was late.

Ten minutes was about what it merited. Would Brown have been happy with that? Probably not. Looking forward to a bit of biff now.

O'Loughlin caught Robinson on the chin, but come on give him a break he did aim for his knee it's just impossible to miss his chin.

He will be referred to the RFL Disciplinary panel.

No he won't, it was a late arguably commited tackle on a player that had just passed the ball and was not high. To the letter of the law it is a pen and nothing more. If Robinson had kicked the ball it would have been a sin binning. Thaler dealt with it correctly at the time.



Oh and Nathan Brown is a Mard pr**k

Lets wait and see.

Arguably committed = undeniably late.

Black is white.

When I saw the tackle I thought 'u dirty pie eating..... he's off here ha ha ha....'
The ref bottled it, It was late & reckless. At least on report!
The RFL should be getting in touch with O'Loughlin not Nathan Brown.
Good on Nathan Brown for sending in tag team of Mason & Fal'ogo,
I will look forward to your next meeting

I think some Wigan fans underestimate Mason too. His punch was borne of frustration and he shouldn't have done it but he was provoked with a bit of needle and fell for it. Ask Jamie Peacock if he thinks Mason is a walkover. Just because McIlorum walks around Wigan town centre like a dog with two dicks doesn't make him a hard man. When it comes to biff Mase is up there, he wont be intimidated by anyone.

Someone remind me when the next Hudds/Wigan game is. Got to be nailed on for the cameras.
See it now.
'For people in attendance and the thousands watching around the country, the time has come. Ladies and Gentlemen Lllleeeeeettttttttssssss get ready to rumble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

What's all this about sin binning?
If it was judged to be foul play then he can't be sin binned. The rules changed years ago when Greg McCallum was in charge of the referees.
O'Loughlin was late and hit the chest with his left arm but his right arm caught Robinson in the face in the collision.
As for Brown, he should know better.
If he wants to think and say that, keep it in the dressing rooms.
He could well have put the marker down for Mason and Fa'logo to become targets. They may well be hard but they won't be able to take it each and every game for 80 minutes.
Anyone remember Mark Carroll? Aussie hardman who also opened his mouth and said he was going to sort out the northern softies.
Not fair on his players, Brown saying that!
