Griffin got a match as well, which seems harsh since he was simply the one that Fielden blamed for it.
Otherwise its a fair ban, which is unusual for the RFL and shows their inconsistancy and club bias.
You probably missed the bits when Fielden was running away from him when they were both on the pitch.
Understandable since you were watching another game.
Mason standing on Fielden was out of order, and dangerous play
But lets put this into perspective...it happens every single game, from every team that at some point in the ruck, a player will have his leg trodden on, so I hope that all these people screaming for X match bans are happy to cry for the same thing for their own players in the next round when it inevitible happens.
As for spoiling in the ruck, Wigan are the champions this season for a reason...
Only flaw is not making Graham take an early bath for his outburst.
I hope he RFL show some spine and make an example of Graham that abusing the referee is simply not acceptable.
Typically they wont do a thing.
It only looks good cos the ankle clutchers havent been on it for a few months...a few weeks of back to back away games would see the problem sorted, it will only take 3 rounds, two weeks and IIRC thats not uncommon anyway in the season.
Out of all the clubs Wakey have to be most worried really, and rightly so given their track record (and their recent refusal to groundshare with Cas)
Widnes are best placed to come up, and much as it pains me to see another club from the wrong side of the hills in SL, it might be for the best.
