Overreaction of the century, It was a bad tackle absolutely, the red was deserved but miss the rest of the season? have a word.....

Looking at the replay I'd be surprised if Lockers makes the semi. I think he'll be looking at a 3-4 game ban sadly.

With the spirit the players are showing though we'll be OK.

Reactions like that always amuse me. Written with the heart rather than the head. Red card was the correct decision, probable 3 match ban, 2 if he is eligible for an EGP.

Far from a sleepless night you cretin when I don't support them

Nah, no way. 13 years, thousands of tackles and that was his first red card and only 1 yellow in his career will see him get a lenient sentence IMO. 2 match ban reduced to 1 with EGP.

Of the century? ...you wanna get out more

I think the fact that the Wakey player went crumpled badly made it look worse,I think it was just a badly timed tackle,you see plenty like that not even get a yellow card.

Just got back and still can't believe we won. When Jones-Bishop scored out wide I thought Wakey would be patient and would get at least two or three more similar bits of field position but for some reason they never did and I can't remember another effective attack down that wing at all.

I'd been looking forward to this all week first home game for ages and then when Lockers went and did that I was fuming as I couldn't see us win from there. Glad to be proved wrong and the atmosphere when we scored at the death was fantastic.

No idea what Lockers was thinking of. Less than two minutes two half time, we had weathered two sin binnings and were winning 10-6. Absolutely no need for that. I think he was fed up with Child's and he'd already had a go at him for the 2nd sin binning pointing back to the Wakey line no doubt remaining Childs of the two virtually identical professional fouls he just penalised with no sin bin. One OK, penalty but another the same? Still no excuse for Lockers though.

Thought Tea Towel, Flower and Sutton were immense and made the yards to give us the chance to score the tries we did. Tierney took his tries very well. Loads of pressure, didn't bottle it. Childs needs to find another profession. Before the send off he'd lost control IMO.

I think the second yellow was harsh to be fair. The first was a yellow all day long as was lockers red poor lad didn't know what day it was and the fact he didn't return won't do sol any favours tho

All the more reason to wind your neck in then.

This is a game I can't wait to watch on Wigan TV when they upload it with so many incidents to view. I've seen the replay of the Lockers tackle and it's not good. Red card well deserved and a probably 2-3 game ban. People need to remember this was the first red of his career since making his debut in 2002ish with this type of tackle being out of character.

Not a bad record 5,000 career head tackles and only one red card

As high tackles go it was pretty mild, at least in terms of recklessness. The force of the collision makes it look bad but if you actually look at the technique of the tackle he is attempting to wrap both arms around the attacker's chest, it's the step that does him and he's too committed to pull out. A bad outcome and no option but to give a red card but it wasn't intentional, malicious or even reckless, just accidental.

Was working last night so only just seen the incident, it's a pretty bad one and worthy of a couple of games.

With regards to the result I couldn't believe we won it at the death (still waiting to see the tries yet), but it is typical of this season...how many last minute wins is that now? Can't believe we are top of the league!!!

Any injuries to report? Something about Sam being injured, let's hope he's fine for next week.

We should be bolstered next week by Mossop, Crosby and FPN. That will give Leeds something to think about.

Uh-oh, a Rhino's reappeared on here.

I guess Leeds must have finally won a match.

Quite a few Wigan Fans said it was reckless, I don't know where your wrap arms around the chest is coming from it was a swinging arm into the jaw area, unless you are referring to another incident in the game. Looks like a 3 game ban with an EGP.

1st time for Wigan . Was sent off playing for England A

That was a long hard night of research.
Hang him up and whip him sir!
In some quarters for a forward to play for 15 years and only be sent off twice he would be regarded as a mard arris. I'm sure Mr Boyd will be a member of that troup.

Wasn't that the game where John Kear almost brought the England players off the field because the ref was so bad?

It could have been worse, the Rhino could have been accompanied by a Yellow Giraffe.

This is what I like totally unbiased opinions. Wasn't it you who said on your own board that
Benny Flower could have been charged with manslaughter? Even though no one died!
Others say things like thugs, cowards, dirty players. Give him a break! He got what he deserved, and will be punished accordingly. But I don't think it was really intentional, more tired and clumsy.

Wasn't my opinion, all my mates are Wigan Fans it came from them.
