Did you have to pay extra for that mate?

Ok but somebody will be sat in the stands if they continue to apply the laws fairly however, I agree that it would be better for the MRP to apply some common sense. By the way, when Keighran was hit he wasn’t falling.

You would hope so Zig but Williams copped a ban last week for something not too dissimilar. That said the Drinkwater high shot is not dissimilar to those Ellis and Walters were banned for too so hopefully sense will prevail.

I don’t think Dupree will get a ban…but to suggest Powell pulled him onto his head suggests Trump levels of awareness.

Both clubs should appeal to the disciplinary panel before they sit and just tell them to call it quits on all the bans. Fines all around

It should have been six again to Wigan, Powell was interfering at the PTB.

Nice try, but i think Keighran’s head shot should be punished…in fact I think Peet virtually invited them to do so.

Agree he was messing around, not sure that gives a free pass to “summary justice” though.

I agree but I don’t think there was anything in it. If he had butted Pow then his reaction would have been totally different. The game has become far too soft and spectators are now using a microscope to examine any incident. Rugby League has always been a tough sport but there are people in the game who are unnecessarily trying to water it down.

unbelievable, he's only been at Wire two minutes and he's already turned into a cheat

Keighran and Dupree both banned on Grade D charges.

It’s a fix !!!

A shame to lose Dupree's impact off the bench but I don't think that will sway the result. Our right side defence stands out like a sore thumb now though with a mix of inexperience in Nsemba and Eckersley and two players in French and Miski who perhaps aren't renowned for their defensive abilities.

Brutal honesty from Peet immediately post-match but he may well have been advised to hold his fire. His comments didn't exactly help Keighran. I note that he has since back-tracked and apologised but when the offending players coach says the player has previous form and it was a bad tackle, well it strengthens the RFL case.

I see that Wigan are going to appeal it...Not just Saints that appeal then

I personally was surprised by Peet's backtrack - yes the player was falling but it was still reckless with no attempt to wrap the arms. I have no issue with either of the bans.

Presuming appeal unsuccessful, who comes in for Dupree?

You'd assume Havard, Thompson and Mago are in the 17.

Byrne/Cooper/Hill?

I'd like to see us give Harvie Hill that spot to be honest. That lad will let no-one down as he proved in the WCC and I really hope he gets that chance.

Where have you seen this mate?

wouldn't worry about it boys, you guys are still favourites

Twitter - three game bans for each.

Not worried mate, what will be will be. I bet you lads are in a lather though, no excuses now.

This is the kind of stuff the ref shaggers get their rocks off on. I hope you are all happy.

Next thing you'll all be moaning that no one takes RL seriously, or wondering why people don't tune into watch it.

Absolutely pathetic & yes I'd be saying the same if it was reversed and Wire had a couple missing for the same reason.

Ok thanks mate, I would have expected to see the RFL's official disciplinary list and comments.

To be fair to the RFL. The players new the risk you can’t head butt someone or shoulder charge and expect to get away with it

total underdogs guy, going up against the current league champions and world club champions, we dont stand a chance.

I think we've had this decision to ponder a couple of times before in this season already and I've never been too fussed either way. They both bring their qualities - obviously Cooper's been in lots of big games but Hill isn't fazed by them either as we saw in the WCC. I think Peet has to pick Walters even though he's still finding his feet as he gives us a bit of flexibility with centre/backrow changes if they are needed.

Thompson will probably play the 80 which will be a big help.
