Was todays lap of honour Ben’s last?? It very much looked like it to me. Been a great servant to the club if so.

Sorry to say it's the only thing I noticed Ben do the whole game.

I ser the usual stuffis being thrown around. Wigan are thugs, get away with it, go out to deliberately hurt players, Flower is a thug (been sent off once) etc etc. Surprised Shaun Wane's team talk against the warriors hasn't been mentioned yet

It was a needless tackle though, big Havard had control of the situation surely?

Unfortunate injury.
But people just scream the word cannonball at every tackle.
He doesn’t attack below the knees. He starts above the knee and goes down to the back of the knee with the leg bending in its natural direction. He doesn’t apply pressure in the opposite direction of the natural movement of the knee.

It would mean something if we didn't get this after every game anyway. 25 years on since our 8-Wembley winning streak, and to so many of them it's still more important what happens at Wigan than at their own clubs.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

It looks a bad tackle, let the disciplinary take care of it.

If only if it were that simple Rogues, Radio Humberside sports reporter Nick Pinkney made numerous damming comments regarding tackles by Wigan live on air, when ex players offer up statements like these, it’s then highlighted even more. Bad tackle in my opinion.

Didn’t look good
Probably a ban going his way
The only other thing I thought at the time was that it appeared to be in the direct of Child’s and he obviously didn’t advise a penalty. May just be clutching at straws
