Slightly off topic, I'm sure I read some where that Warrington had a total of 10 out of 10 who went off for HIA but all passed the test and came back on leading to the accusation that they were faking it to basically getting an extra substitution.
On a lighter note Tigers Jesse-Sene-Lafao said in an interview that he failed the test even before he was concussed. lol

Well if Isa did do it on purpose it was done with a level of subtlety they don’t normally bother with. The thuggery Wigan have displayed in recent years and the total lack of sanctions used against them, had they wanted to injure TJ I would have expected them to just chainsaw his head off. No case to answer would of course have been the verdict.

It’s totally irrelevant how it looked

He made contact with the head which unless the rules have changed?
It is an auto sin bin

Intentional.

Looking at the minutes of the disip , there were several Wigan players mentioned, but only one wakefield player

No surprise to me, they got stuck in during the second half and we didn't, In my experience teams who sail closer to the wind do so because they are trying harder, old fashioned view I know but that's just me.

Just re-watched the tackle, was completely accidental contact with the head imo as Johnstone is coming down, no swinging arm, certainly no malice or intent there, it was a penalty and that`s about it.

We didn’t even receive the penalty. I think it was a turnover to Wigan.

Problem was that we didn't get one. It was handover and loss of a key player for the rest of the game.

I realise that, but when was the last time you heard 1 penalty not been given in a match be such a big issue? It took up about 10 mins of Chesters post match interview.
