Benny Westwood, eh? Who'd have thought...
I think that Blake Austin May add to Wires woes
Difficult to see but the proof is in the pudding really, if he’s in hospital with concussion he’s not tickled his tummy
Looked as though his knee went into the neck of Tomkins and the loose arm came afterwards, he was on the floor when the impact comes in. Josh Jones did a similar tackle when he played for us and wasn't as bad but I seem to remember it didn't go unpunished, also last season Matty Lees was putting in that type of mis timed tackle and that didn't go unpunished either.
Whether intentional or not Tomkins was on the floor when Austin came in to complete the tackle and he made direct contact with the head of a player unable to protect himself.
That should result in a hefty ban - but this is the RFL we're talking about here so he's probably get a 'strongly worded letter' asking him not to do it again !!
Last week Austin received two counts on the disciplinary panel - one for dangerous contact and one for a dangerous throw - both resulting in no charge. Will be interesting to see if the disciplinary panel are that lenient this week.
These were 2 of the total of 7 for Warrington, King and Westwood received bans and the rest resulted in no charge.
Are Warrington turning into the dirtiest team in the comp?
Would it be wrong of me to suggest that their marquee signing has a bit of an “edge” to his game? Certainly looks like he does.
