Hill ia just a dirty bully, like the kid at school who was that bit bigger than everyone else, he should have got 3 matches.

Was this the bloke who placed his arm in the mouth of an opponent and ran over to the ref claiming he had been bitten? a cheating bully as well if this was correct.

Millington (Tigers) 2 match ban for punching.
Hill (Wire) no action taken.

RFL = total joke.

I can't stand Chris Hill. Never a captain in a million years, not as good a player as some seem to think he is, and has let us down in big games time and time again. I haven't joined in the recent fawning over Ben Westwood either. Great player he was for us yes, but his Wires career should have ended at least three years ago, and probably earlier. I might not be bothered about a few fisticuffs, but hearing "Super Bennie Westwood" makes me cringe every single time.

As for anyone still crying about the fighting, just wait until we get beat at Wembley and have a few thousand Widnes fans there celebrating more than the Saints fans...

Might have been before SL but I remember a game at Wheldon Road (Tigers Vs Hull FC) where all 26 players were sinned binned at the end of the game. It was a spiteful game and IIRC a Hull player suffered a badly broken leg. Can't remember his name.

IMO this is what Child should have done.

I remember that game, i think it was Gary Pearce who had his leg broken.

Also, IIRC there was nothing wrong with the tackle, Gary had just tried an up and under and the Cas player took out his standing leg, no malice that I could see, just an accident.

Thinking back, sidm't they all go off mid way through the second half, and came back out? I think it was Lee Crooks I spoke to about it some years later and he said, it was a tough game, but both teams had a pint afterwards.

There aren't a few thousand Widnes fans anywhere these days, let alone at Wembley, for a cup final, not involving their side.
Warrington need to get their own house in order and fast.
