Dead right we would with Wanes objectives of tackle to injure, do Wigan still have those "rugby car crash pictures" in the corridor of the Orrell training ground!.
When I saw them a few seasons ago..........beyond the borderline of sport.

That's because it would have been intentional .

Police? Can't recall saints or lance Hohaia calling the police when Ben Flower assaulted Lance?

Didn't saints offers the support to the disgraceful Ben Flower?

Having watched the game back the yellow was deserved.

As for Saints getting all the decisions, the massive NFL block that took place the tackle before carney's first try was comical. It's as if ref's are now scared to give obstruction.

Interestingly enough sky didn't really make a lot of it compared with Phil Clarke's 'oh no!!!' with the forward pass call which was an understandable decision given that the player was stood in front of the guy passing the ball

Amor charged grade c
Burns charged grade b

Re: Amor Sin Bin : Mon Mar 02, 2015 3:35 pm  

Not sure how the RFL can charge Burns for that on Carney when they let Carney get away with a far worse tackle on Escare the last round (after banning Ah Van in R1)...yet again no consistency

Re: Amor Sin Bin : Mon Mar 02, 2015 3:48 pm  

Burns 1 match
Amor 2 matches

Imo

Re: Amor Sin Bin : Mon Mar 02, 2015 5:16 pm  

I can see Amor getting a couple of matches. I think it would be harsh to ban Burns - he's got a pretty solid defence in that he was thrown off kilter by the hand-off. That one should be penalty sufficient IMO. He does have previous, though, so it may not go his way.

Re: Amor Sin Bin : Mon Mar 02, 2015 5:26 pm  

I don't mind those challenges being bans, as soft as they are, but there is just no consistency. I would LOVE to be able to grill the people in charge about how incompetent they are. Burns's high shot was with an open palm, more of a slapping motion. It was an attempt at a grab that ended up high due to Carney's hand off. No way a ban when you compare to Carney's attempt to take Escare's head off in Perpignan as mentioned above.

Amor's was poor technique and ultimately is dangerous. So a 2-3 game ban after a yellow card marks that down as a serious offense. But will we see the same punishment handed out for repeats of this in SL? No, of course we won't.

I think Saints should kick off about how the televised games are over refereed and the non-televised games tend to escape punishment. I see Charnley escaped what even Wigan fans are saying was a clear Smith-esque petulant kick during the Hull KR game. Ignored by the disciplinary as they couldn't tell if it made contact? Utterly bizarre.

Re: Amor Sin Bin : Mon Mar 02, 2015 6:22 pm  

The major problem is that the Sky matches have multiple cameras and therefore multiple angles to have views of any incident. I was at HKR yesterday and didn't see the Charnley incident and there was no camera evidence. I did see Ben Cockayne throwing punches as it was directly in front of where we were sat. It would appear that hasn't been picked up by the camera as it was away from the ball.

Had the game been on Sky then I suspect the review committee would have had a much clearer view on what happened..
