Having watched the game back now, it's hard to see anything wrong in Miller & Lyne's injuries.
Woody's looked accidental.
Pauli won't be summoned (the only punch thrown was by a Wigan player), and there was no attempted trip by Brough.
The attack on the knee of Fifita may well attract some attention though.
I disagree on the Lyne injury, when watching frame by frame you can clearly see Powell dive at the knee and it’s either to the side or against the natural movement of the joint. I took a screen shot however I haven’t the first idea how to post an image and I also don’t want to breach any kind or laws, the time stamp is 39:16 on trinity tv. The only defence he may have in my opinion is I don’t think it was his standing leg however there is still what looks like a buckle so damage done either way. It’s an obvious cheap shot and whether or not gone to injure him he will only know but it was only a matter of time in the game given how often they did that sort of tackle, and I agree with Chester, it’ll take a career ending one to happen before anything is acted upon.
The others I can’t comment as I haven’t watched it all back yet
