NO BALLS

[jammie]

if looking at recent sending off's eg wilkin,pryce,should ganson have given wild a red card for his late challenge (if you can call it that)on barret?i know what he would have done if he wore a cherry & white shirt he didn't have the balls to make the decision,so will get the nutty brigade to do his job for him at the rfl.that should be wilds regular season over.

I agree but you have forgot one of the main ones there, Joe Vangana. How could you send Vangana off last week but then sin bin steven wild? It just shows that the refs are still so inconsistant.

The downside of a red card near the end of the match is that Wild would have missed 4 minutes but the RFL would have deemed the red card sufficient punishment and he would be playing next week.

Since he only got a Yellow Card might still receive an additional ban from the RFL.

I was just going to post the same thing. Gansen put him on report and sin binned him. Now the RFL can decide if he gets a ban and won't be able to say "sending off sufficient". Mind you I ain't holding my breathon him being banned. It would never do to ban someone for afoul on a Wigan player.

The yellow card will probably be deemed as sufficient, i can't see any more action taken against Wild... he looked in the air and committed on the replay

My thoughts exactly.

To be honest the challenge only came marginally after the ball had been kicked and from memory his arms were raised in the air. A suggestion in Australia is that players charging down should be upright and have their arms raised, thus preventing attacks to the kickers legs and use of the forearm / elbow. I thought that criteria was met by Wild.

I did think Wild had more attitude about him tonight and was using lots of gamesmanship around the POTB. However, he should not be punished more for that challenge IMO

Whilst not that late, wilde was side on and used his shoulder on Barrett's head - surely that is charging the kicker, not the ball?

Wilde went over to Barrett and apologised on his way off the pitch - which would suggest that he knew had done something wrong.

Agreed.

Nothing in the challenge really TB went down like Briers in full flow - milked it for all it was worth and got the penalty.
