I think that's something that no one around here will argue with.

It's about right for Fielden. Anyone would be angry abut having their leg stamped on, but contrary to what some are saying, he did not 'defend himself'. It wasn't a sustained attack and therefore there was no reason to defend. What he did, was retaliate to the incident and attack Keith Mason after the incident had happened. Some might argue that he was justified.

Mason should have got eight matches for that stamp. He could have snapped Fielden's leg, it was deliberate and nasty. Three matches is a joke.

Shambles of a call yet again but no suprise.

Ryan Bailey didn't get a ban after the Leeds game because he had the cup semi the week after and his offence was really dangerous play that could have lead to Carmont getting badly injured.

Then we have the Fielden and Griffin cases where they've just had abit of a bust up like the ones that have been going unpunished for years and years and years yet they pick up a worse punishment.

The system is a true disgrace at the moment.

its a similar punishment ben cockayne and danny tickle got for a similar punch up in the hull derby so you can't say it wasn't coming, whether leeds got off more lightly due to an impending semi I couldn't say but I dare say things like that have been going on for years and I wouldn't be surprised if that hasn't happened for Wigan in the past when you were in cup finals every year.
