Red card in a derby for that? What has this game become?

I was amazed Powell didn't get a red for it big ban coming for him that's for sure

Re: Powell crusher : Fri Apr 15, 2022 6:08 pm  

Utter lunacy from Powell. The game was already gone because of another big game abject performance. Won't be disappointed to see Powell cop a big ban. Comfortably the worst no.9 in the league and offers absolutely nothing.

should have been red but got yellow which the ref has given at full speed, looks terrible slowed down, seen it before, hell get a good ban and rightly so

This is no place for a calm and measured response!

Powell now has to play on Monday as he's getting a ban,i would have rested him and played O'Neil but not now

Re: Powell crusher : Fri Apr 15, 2022 6:40 pm  

Disgusting tackle, could have broke the poor lads neck. I'm hoping for O'Neil getting a start and having a good run, if that's the case then Powell struggles to get back in the team. We have 3 x players who tackle like demons but offer nothing going forwards, no room for them all so having Powell out and O'Neil in will make us more potent around the ruck.

Horrible tackle - Red all day long.

The people defending it as “biff” are probably the same people who defended Terry newton’s antics in that infamous game.

Could have broken his neck.

Shocker and absolutely no need for it in what I thought was a pretty clean game apart from that, he can't complain about however many he gets.

Yup that's me on all accounts.

You know what, I loved Newton because he was obviously Wigan through and through. He'd bleed cherry and white if you cut him open. Loved the club and couldn't stand us losing. That's what I want as a fan.

Suppose I'm as low as the Saints fans who boo'd his minutes silence during the GF.

Re: Powell crusher : Fri Apr 15, 2022 7:27 pm  

Think you’d have to put it down to a moment of madness. Powell has always seemed a tough but good sportsman to me…..

Re: Powell crusher : Fri Apr 15, 2022 7:48 pm  

Absolute shocker! Should miss 6 games minimum.

All for aggression but you have a duty of care to your fellow players
