Re: Challenge Cup Final : Mon May 30, 2022 12:03 am  
Once again the rules of the game have changed dramatically in the space of 8 / 10 weeks . We were told player welfare was all important and attacks to the head need to be removed from the game . I watched Smithies ( a thug at the best of times ) take 2 players out on Saturday with blatent head high tackles , with only penalties given on each .
The first one , you would say penalty sufficient , but a second has to be a Yellow card minimum.
Either Child didn`t have the bottle to send him to the bin , or the game has now totally abandoned the removal of the attack to the head .
I agree the standard of the game was very poor - Wigan were clueless and error prone in the first half , and Huddersfield were not good enough to capitalise on the game being handed to them.

And just to prove my case , the thug gets a 4 match ban today . The lack of consistency in our game is unbelievable .

100% a yellow for the second offence.
Think 4 matches is harsh though.

2 different head shots each getting 2 games. Isn't that about the going rate?

So does this in effect mean Child should have sent him off twice yet did not put him in the sin bin once?
Game changing decisions, why not refer to video ref ?

No because yellows get bans these days. Not to forget Yates also got a ban.

This is where I get lost, Smithies does 2 head shots on Huddersfield, no sin bin, no sending off, they lose their best chance of a trophy in years,

Wigan’s next 4 opponents now benefit more than Huddersfield.
How can this be right?

the Yates one getting a 2 game ban is a joke, nowhere near as bad as Smithies 2nd one

Not ideal but it's been like this for donkeys with judgements handed down post matches. I suppose refs will always miss stuff and the thinking must be that a belated ban is better than no ban at all.
As for Hudds, their own lack of attacking ambition in those last 15 mins did more to scupper their chances than any non-decision by Child IMO.

I agree about their lack of ambition but that May have worked v 12 men for 10, 20 minutes or rest of the match.
The danger with refs not wanting to sin bin or send off in big games is it encourages players to go after key playmakers to win the game and if ban comes post match, so be it.
