They seem a bit on the lenient side this week. Ryan Hudson got away with manhandling the ref!

It's a grade D offence though which carries a suggested ban of 3-5 games so hopefully the disciplinary will not bottle it and let him off.

He seems to be one of their only players with any desire at the moment.

Quite often if the offence is given a sinbinning or a red card in the match then they conclude that that would be sufficient. But Westwood went unpunished, and even though that event started Wire's downfall in the match - it looks like he will get some kind of a ban, especially as the Catalans player had to leave the pitch due to the action.

He is, along with Carvell, Riley and Higham. However Carvell may also be out - having a scan on his knee.

We should have Jon Clarke available and possibly Paul Johnson but the way we played in the second half of obth our games so far suggests that if you are within 2 scores of us at half time you will win - end of.

He didn't manhandle the ref. Read the article regarding Hudson on the Wigan site and that tells you.

Can't see him getting off without a ban.

I hope he does get off and plays against us. Westwood is ALWAYS good for a few penaltys!!

the opinion of many Wire fans (having seen the tackle itself and the post tackle "chat" Bennie had with Dane C whilst he was writhing on the floor) is that he should face a ban irrepsective

tackles like this do happen in rugby but it was a bad one to say the least

It was on the telly so the RFL will want to be seen to be doing
