So are the ref shaggers going to explain how Byrne got sent off and 4 games, but Moylan gets a yellow for a shoulder charge to the head? I know which one of those two shots I'd rather take.

I didn’t have issues with the yellow card. I must be watching a different game at time from the ref as the constant pens against us for lying on and not stand square for Leigh to do the same and not get penalised was baffling. Every game so far has seemed the same

I had more of an issue with the tip tackle a few minutes earlier that was deemed a mere penalty. Just wow.

Agreed, I would think that him, Nsemba and Havard in particular will already be very closely monitored by the NRL teams.

It’s very early days and a huge comparison but I’m seeing in style at least a lot of similarities between how Hill plays the game and how Webke went about the game.

The Aussies have already been sniffing around Harvie.

Obviously, spinal injuries no longer count. It's just the head knocks we need to focus on.

FWIW, I don't think the yellow should have been a red. It just highlights how utterly wrong that gimp last week got it.

Much better, as every one says, and good to see the young forwards going well. Nsemba and Hill both very good, Mago showed his worth, and Thompson put in his usual big shift. Don't think there was much doubt in who came out the winner in Moylan v French! And yes, every week I think, Wardle is a class act.

Its great having squad depth but something may have to give at some stage with the amount of quality young front rowers at Wigan.

Hill has an Aussie agent but hopefully won’t be issue for a while. Him and Junior should replace Cooper and Isa next year.

On the subject of poor refereeing, it's a good job the disallowing of the French try didn't mean anything in the end. Two weeks on the bounce now, we've come off worse from one of the two refs overruling the other.

How long is Hill contracted for at Wigan?
