I am astonished that Wellens has been cited considering some of the stuff that went on in that game.



See Morleys 'tackle' on Perry in the lead up to our try when Morley was slow getting back into the line. He basically goes in third man with his forearm to Perry's chin and jolts his head back, but somehow ends up worse off. I imagine if Perry had gone down feigning injury or had been knocked out, we would have heard a lot more about it.



I even paused the moment when I got home to check where he made contact as I saw it as clear as day at the game, and the video confirms it. I couldn't believe Laurel and Hardy didn't mention it in commentary.

has Carvell's head tackle in the first half been reported?

I didn't notice any at the game but when I watched it back I did notice it. I think both are worthy of a ban of I'm being honest. I don't think the was any intention to hurt anyone but they did look dangerous.



They may get away with no bans based on having good records but I'm not holding my breath. These things happen and we just have to adapt.



Makinson to fullback and TP in at prop isn't to bad at all.

yep he was found no charge to answer First contact with upper chest. Penalty sufficient

Im surprised they didn't try to take Hohaia down too, the amount of bad tackles he was dishing out on Friday was astonishing!. Can't go anywhere without their legs Lancey boy!

Same for me. I was certain Laffranchi would face a ban as that was a bad tackle. But for the life of me I can't remember what Wello did to attract a ban, other than flap his arms and screem at the ref to a highly embarrassing degree.

He had Briers upside down in a tackle,and given the letter of the law it was a dangerous position

Bit of a blow to lose both, Wellens is proving the critics wrong (including myself) with some strong performances in recent weeks. Laffranchi has been good all season, a really astute signing.



TP in for Laffranchi isn't a problem though and hopefully Wheeler should come in to strengthen us in the backs. Makinson to step in at full back to keep the half backs the same.

For me I'd put Makinson in at Full Back.

Wheeler back in the centre to Meli.

Puletua at 2nd Row and rotate Clough, Perry, Magennis and LMS at prop. May help to bring TP/Soliola at prop at some point to add a bit of grunt

I've just watched the first bit back again and I must have been looking away from the TV when it happened as it was pretty obvious really. Hate to say it but it deserves a ban. Very stupid by Wello.



I can't say I have a problem with either of the bans, other than we will obviously be two players short. But we beat Wigan in the playoffs last year with half the first team out so I'm sure the coaching collective can cope.

Surely Wellens good record will count for something, has he even been infront of the panel before?



He had a no case to answer last year, so it went no further than a report.

Had 2 similar cases in 2010 with no case to answer.



So has never actually been to a tribunal before. Although I don't know how far back the electronic records go. With that kind of record a letter and a slap on the wrists should be sufficient if the tackle was with him on his knees.



No idea what La Franki has as an NRL record, but he could take a guilty plea and one match and be back for Cas

Very strange that the majority of players cited are from the games that have been televised this weekend. Do the panel watch all games or just a select few.
