He won't be there, it's his wedding anniversary. Pity really, his eloquence worked fine for Ben Flower a few weeks ago.

He must have a luck rabbits boot in his boots or something!
Just heard that he has previously got 31 charges scott free in the past, so no wonder you are challenging
If it was Ryan Baily or Hock it would have been a 6 game ban easily
The player is stood upright and not changing direction (although the ball is) totally wreckless and borderline malicious

The village idiot is back I see

Sorry I forgot you weren't allowed to saying anything remotely against any wigan players



It was a fair tackle
Matty Smith for England 7
Wane is a tactical mastermind

Happy?

They've won a game haven't they so it was bound to happen. As and when they clock up a few more the bulls*it will increase.

The bulls*itometre could explode if Leeds beat us on Friday.

Middle 8's are we......

He's been banned for one game! Ha ha.

Let the meltdown commence.

Are you not embarrassed at that outcome. The MRP have just shown that it's the club you play for that affects the punishment

If it's annoying you, i'm perfectly happy with the result.

I'm gutted.

He's also got a £300 fine, which he wouldn't have if he'd used his egp.

Typical Wigan trivialise a bad tackle with poor attempt at humour.

Or they took the punishment already received (red card) and his excellent disciplinary record (no previous bans in his career) into account, plus any other submissions put forward in his defence.

But you know...could be what you said...

You can't have been serious with this post anyone who has seen the tackle knows it was a bad one so to downgrade it is beyond the bounds of any logic. He didn't even check annakins was alright which makes it worse imo

Shouldn't even have got a one match ban.

Very harsh to receive a red nevermind coping a ban

Where is the attempt at humour? I was merely stating fact.

I'd like to retract my earlier statement- cracking decision by the club! In all seriousness it wasn't a great tackle but I think a lot of opposition fans are baying for blood because he's got this faux reputation as a dirty player. He's played nearly 400 games and was sent off for the first time on Friday. It was a lazy challenge that was a bit reckless. I wouldn't have argued if he'd got 2 or even 3 games but a clean record that spans almost 15 years has worked in his favour. Let's see if we can move on without a 20 page thread about how the RFL is corrupt and it only happened because it's Wigan...I won't hold my breath.

He has now been charged 32 times in his career and only banned for one game in total

If you can find anyone with a record anywhere close to that from another club then you can stop saying that Wigan players get away with murder

Chris Annakin should receive a ban for falling to the ground like Christiano Ronaldo being shot by a sniper in the crowd

SOL should sue for being wrongly charged so many times... IT'S A DISGRACE!!!

It just shows shows how poor the initial review panel is.

Classless comment Shaun wane would be proud of you

Check out the vt

Having watched it live from pretty much the top of the stadium it looked bad you could hear the impact thru the stadium.

Watching a,replay initially didn't appear as bad as first thought. Having watched his reaction he knew what he had done had it been unintentional then he would have shown some kind of interest offered a tap on the head or something to anakin, so I feel one game ban is a little light think 2 is fitting using an egp but a clever call not to use it.

It's harassment, plain and simple. Trying to knock a clean player off his game by wrongly charging him repeatedly.

In all seriousness, why would they charge him when we own the RFL?
