Wigan prop Taulima Tautai has been banned by the Rugby Football League for "other contrary behaviour" in Friday's Super League defeat by Huddersfield.

other contrary behaviour??
So not the very harsh sin bin?
If two people throw you down like the did to tautai you legs naturally come up.
Did he questions the refs integrity?

Stinks! It was an accident there is no way he could even see if there was someone near his feet because of the player who was lying over his face.
What about the shoulder charge on Manfredi?? We didn’t even get a penalty!

The slow motion is pretty damning. There is a definite pause between Tautai going onto his back and kicking out. It didn't look good at the time and he did make contact with the face. However, three matches is a bit harsh. Possibly they took into account the late near-shoulder charge on the kicker earlier in the match.
He was charging around looking for aggravation all the time he was on before the sin-binning.

I said to my wife on Friday he was lucky not to get a straight red so the ban isn’t a surprise
