Whilst Ablett's wasnt an actual gouge, it was still unneceseray and dangerous contact with the eyes. He should be banned IMO. Especially when the evidence is more visual than the hearsay that got Scott Moore banned.

That's exactly what you're doing, same as you and other Wigans fans do EVERY year when this topic comes up.

Yep, from the coach to the players down to the fans... the class always shines through.

Would love to see some stats regarding bans. After Friday's game, could Wigan potentially have the most players banned for any one game this weekend?

Is that what you are expecting to happen, in semi final week

There's more chance of Radlinski putting his boots on and playing for nowt (again)

Well the RFL have a chance to prove the doubters wrong this week. Let's see.

Anyone know what the record is for number of players banned at any one time?

Wouldn't have a problem if he was. As you point out, it wasn't a gouge but neither was it a mere shove to the face.
But getting back on topic, I cringe when I see players from any side targeting the lower leg of a held player from any other angle than behind. The knee is only designed to bend in one direction and even a small impact that causes deviation from that can cause pain, damage or both. The irritating thing is that tackles like that could be outlawed at a stroke; there really can be no justification for doing otherwise IMO.

even behind is a problem, ball carrier falling backwards while tackler is underneath pushing knees and lower legs forwards and the weight of two tacklers on top,no one controlling him to the floor, allsorts have the potential to go wrong there.

But then if a player won't go down, and he's not held, what's your suggestion?
