Poor . Isa should be penalised there 

[andyscoot]

Isa being ridiculous. Lucky to not go for 10.

[DavidM]

VR should be getting into the ref about that , poor stuff

[Padge]

Isa should have been penalised, that was stupid.

[Old Frightful]

I can just see Tom Johnstone sat watching thinking "Willie Isa's not that sort of bloke."

[Futtocks]

Ooh, unfortunate bounce for Marshall.

I can't recall that being a thing. Is it a new rule?

Not sure how old it is to be honest, and I might have made it up ha ha....

[Hela Wigmen]

Wigan losing their heads when the games gone? No, never. Colour me shocked. 

[dkw]

I don't think that was late really, players have to be allowed to commit to tackles. I understand why there's a push on looking after players but that's incredibly harsh.

Actually I take that back, it's a shoulder charge so I can see why ge was done for that. But a yellow was definitely harsh.

He was committed to that tackle

Coote likes staying down doesn’t he

I'm more shocked that Just Browny's not on this thread, campaigning for the return of the death penalty.

Pearce-Paul gets a yellow. It wasn't that late a tackle, but it was hard.

[The Blues Ox]

Not even a penalty that nevermind a sin binning. If he wanted he could have absolutley mullered him but didn't.

[Hela Wigmen]

I think there’s probably been a Wigan card coming given the accumulation of penalties that’s built up. It wasn’t the worst tackle or the latest tackle you’ll see but Child has got that right. 

[MZH]

What's the game coming to when that's a yellow.

[ATLANTISMAN]

I remember driving from London to Central Park just to watch a Wigan match v Leigh over 20000 that day what a great team they had then.

[andyscoot]

So he's gone for a shoulder charge ("not made an attempt to wrap the arms") rather than it being late?

Be playing touch rugby soon.

[Futtocks]

St Helens 18:0 Wigan at HT.

Or Coote 14:0 Wigan at HT.

They should put him a bed on the pitch.

Seems like it. Can sort of see why it's a penalty, but never 10 minutes

It was for a shoulder charge. He wasn’t late

Yes

[Hela Wigmen]

You can see the difference in the two sides here. We’ve had two and a bit weeks off and are pretty much at full fitness, Wigan have played 3-4 since then and have injuries and fatigue to deal with. We’ve shown no sympathy and dominated so far. I’m hoping it continues in the second half and we rack up some more points. 

[Jinking Jimmy]

Coote stays down “injured” and then back on his feet seconds later to attempt the penalty. The game is going soft and cheats like him don’t help.
