Refs cant wait to red card and ban Wigan players such as Micky Mac, tonights game has seen some dirt, Pryce with the knee (intended) and Westwood Vs Webb, I'll bet there will be no bans.

Nothing worth banning.

Plenty of niggle but that's it.

Westwood was stupid. I wonder if the RFL can ban Webb for being a knob. Tonight you have seen the Dragons resort to dirty play, last week Wigan played good, tough physical rugby league football.

Always good to see Webb get put on his . I'd award Westwood a pay rise rather than ban.

A ban for what exactly? We would have no players left if everyone got banned for stuff like that

As always, Westwood throwing the first punches, and first one in over nothing.
Lots of players do it, but Westwood does it a lot and gets away with it a lot.

Even though I have always rated Westwood I think he has been very lucky tonight, after the skirmish at the tackle he followed Webb who was backing off for about 15/20 yards until Web decided to stand his ground.

Then they clashed and Westwood got stuck into him ,putting 3/4 punches in until they all piled in, what followed was a bit disturbing .

After a consulting his linesman he gave Webb 10 min then he stood there about 30 sec with both red and yellow cards in his hand, it was almost as if he was waiting for instructions from above before he gave Westwood the yellow.

He was waiting for Webb to get off the pitch at crawling pace before sending Westwood on his way so there were no afters.

Webb is a total turd of the highest order and got what he deserved. He threw a ghost elbow at Westwood them did the same with the head whilst mouthing off and Westwood just did what anybody his size would do and stand his ground. When Webb decided to come at him he put him on his backside.

I like Westwood, he's an honest and hard player who deserves respect. I hold him in even higher esteem after tonight.

Exactly so why was those players sent off in magic weekend from Wigan and Saints if Gaz Hock had done what a few of them did tonight he would have been off no problem!!

A real honest and accurate assessment. To be honest the ref "completely lost control" tonight and spoiled what could have been a great game ..........Seem to be saying this more and more as each season passes, when will we finally get a Match Officials Director that holds officials accountable for "Poor Performances" that are continually spoiling our great sport of Rugby League? Wish every game could be played and officiated in the same spirit as last weeks.

Absolutely right. Richard Silverwood seems to allow lying on at the tackle which frustrates both players and crowd. Elima and Webb were Wire's best two players tonight, Elima being a one man penalty machine, Benny Westwood was a bit daft going after Webb, but if you look at the tackle before the fight, the main trouble was caused by Henderson putting an elbow into Westwood's face.

I thought Warrington were lucky to get the penalty from the Elima incident with Evans. I didn't think he made contact with the head and obviously Westwood could have been cited for the reaction, but Catalans really are their worst enemies at times.

To be sung with the voice of a 6 year old boy "nobody likes us, I'll think I'll go and eat worms". What are you on about? Why should Westwood get banned? Silverwood could and should have taken positive action earlier and the naughty play would have stopped. Pryce was naughty even though Myler played it a little. Nice game of biff. Hopefully yours will be the same tomorrow.

This is simple, if a WIGAN PLAYER DID WHAT YOUR PLAYER DID TONIGHT HE WOULD HAVE GOT A THREE MATCH BAN. Surely a muppet like you can understand that?

This.

And I can't comprehend how, irrespective of what happens to cause it, a player can follow another [iretreating[/i player, throw the first punch (after being involved/instigating fights earlier) and not see red.

Webb was a bit of a disgrace tonight, but fwiw on the two incidents he actually did get sin binned for were hardly worthy of it. Mind you there was plenty he and Elima could've walked for anyway.

Nice to see Westwood have a pop at the smallest man on the pitch again, funny he didn't have a pop at Casty, Anderson, or anyone else that could potentially put him on his @rse.

As for the incident, Westwood walked in front of the play the ball to have a go at Webb, we all know Webb is a gobby tool but he was only giving it verbals, Westwood had every intention to start throwing punches.

We had 4 players sent off in total last year for "striking" so if there is any consistency, they'll both get a 2 match ban for throwing punches wont they?

Last year i thought they got it wrong, bit of biff between two players should always be a yellow imo, McIlorum hitting Elima last season was different, it wasn't biff, it was a punch out of nothing with no retaliation.
The Saints game at Magic though should just have been a load of yellow cards.

I thought the yellow was fair. Ended his game and with the incident on report he could still cop a ban. Had he sent him off it could have made the last 10 minutes even worse. Probably the only good bit of reffing in the whole match.

He went after a player and punched him repeatedly, but won't be banned. Mossop got banned for a single punch on someone who had attacked a team mate from behind. Had Faz walked 15 yards to punch Wire's headless chicken number 7, say, we'd have had meltdown and tears before bed time. Plus a ban.

Was Webb's first bin for a flop after a team warning?

Holding down yes

The fight should have never happened. Thenrefnshould have blown up penalising Westwood for being clearly offside disregarding the rules of the game walking away from his offensive line over to Webb, surely the ref or lines men should have picked up on that.

And for the Wigan fans making it about Wigan claiming 'we're hard done by' and somehow making the thread about how Wigan are unfairly treated need to grow up and stop crying.

Finally I admit I like to watch fights etc in our game. I find it all entertaining.

Fact is though, as much as I also like a fight and a bit of biff, there isnt any consistency. The point I was making is that it is a fact that we had 4 players sent off last year for "striking" that all recieved bans. 2 players commited the same offence last night but will probably get nothing. Personally I think it should be a sin bin, and thats it, but if you start sending people off, you have to be consistent. The Referee's made a rod for there own backs last season unfortunately.
