However, Walmsley has not been charged for a tackle on Wigan youngster Jack Wells which forced the Warriors forward off the field after suffering an injury that could end his season.

Instead, James Graham has been charged for Grade A dangerous contact in the same tackle, a charge which doesn’t warrant a suspension.

In the Match Review Panel minutes, details are given on the involvement of the pair in the incident.

Explaining Walmsley’s role, it says: “Player makes attempt to tackle as opponent is still making forward progress. Player makes initial contact on thigh of opponent. Player demonstrates wrapping motion towards both legs whilst maintaining control of own bodyweight. Players grip allows limb of opponent to rotate in contact as other tackler rotates opponent in contact.”

Meanwhile, in explaining why Graham was charged, it said: “Defending player, in or after effecting a tackle, uses any part of their body forcefully to bend or apply unnecessary pressure to the head and/or spinal column of the tackled player so as to keep the tackled player at a disadvantage in or after the tackle.”

Walmsley makes movements to put a players joints in a bad position sufficient to potentially end his season - 0 games. Graham does a crusher that requires physio attention - 0 games.
