I don’t think Dupree will get a ban…but to suggest Powell pulled him onto his head suggests Trump levels of awareness.

It should have been six again to Wigan, Powell was interfering at the PTB.

Both clubs should appeal to the disciplinary panel before they sit and just tell them to call it quits on all the bans. Fines all around

Nice try, but i think Keighran’s head shot should be punished…in fact I think Peet virtually invited them to do so.

Agree he was messing around, not sure that gives a free pass to “summary justice” though.

I agree but I don’t think there was anything in it. If he had butted Pow then his reaction would have been totally different. The game has become far too soft and spectators are now using a microscope to examine any incident. Rugby League has always been a tough sport but there are people in the game who are unnecessarily trying to water it down.

Powell was holding Dupree down in the tackle, Dupree was trying to get up, he gets pulled forward and makes head contact. Nothing in it if you look at the full picture.

unbelievable, he's only been at Wire two minutes and he's already turned into a cheat

Keighran and Dupree both banned on Grade D charges.

A shame to lose Dupree's impact off the bench but I don't think that will sway the result. Our right side defence stands out like a sore thumb now though with a mix of inexperience in Nsemba and Eckersley and two players in French and Miski who perhaps aren't renowned for their defensive abilities.

Brutal honesty from Peet immediately post-match but he may well have been advised to hold his fire. His comments didn't exactly help Keighran. I note that he has since back-tracked and apologised but when the offending players coach says the player has previous form and it was a bad tackle, well it strengthens the RFL case.

I see that Wigan are going to appeal it...Not just Saints that appeal then

I personally was surprised by Peet's backtrack - yes the player was falling but it was still reckless with no attempt to wrap the arms. I have no issue with either of the bans.
