Has someone slipped an envelope under a door at red hall?

We tried to, but the queue was that long we changed our mind.

Wigan squad update for Cas



Hicks rested.



Thaler brought into squad.



From the Wigan forum but you have to laugh

Hicks will be a big miss, but Thaler won't let them down.

Wigan do seem to have strength in depth in that department.

In true Wigan tradition, both Thaler and Hicks don't count on their Salary cap either.

Rumour is that Red Hall are subsidising much of their wages, in order to keep them from going to Union or NRL.

If elbow and forearm weren't promoted as said by the disciplinary panel then how do they come to the conclusion of sending off sufficient! Why can't they say the VR (Bentham) got it wrong

Because they never do or never have

Bentham's a referee, in his opinion it was a sending off thus he was duly sent off, the panel aren't there to judge referees' they're just a panel what are there to administer an appropriate course of action to the player, and just because they say it's sending off sufficient does not mean that Bentham got it wrong or that Watts was innocent.

He was - but the on the pitch ref was unduly influenced by the VR ... whispering in his ear that it was reckless.

He should not be, and TBH the VR should NOT be allowed to do it. Especially as you don't have the VR in every game.

I also don't agree with the VR getting involved in these decisions.



There's already no consistency based upon the past few weeks. Watts v Wigan; Burrows's head butt; Gaz's sin bin; McCollom on Ellis at Wembley; Wigan on Gaz's neck at Wembley.



Five incidents all with a VR in attendance, but surprisingly only two players asked to leave the field?
