2 game ban for Isa for the dump tackle on Welsby. NFA on the Percival incident or the flop on Grace. Cautions for Pearce-Paul for a shoulder charge and Smith for a late hit.

Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.
The wording on the Percival incident is funny...
"Player is running towards the ball with an opponent close to the ruck and as he runs look to move opponent out of the way. No further action."
The ball hadn't been picked up from the ruck yet, Percival wasn't in the way, and Isa wasn't even looking to receive the ball.
Ive just read the minutes and was coming on here to talk about the same thing.
They must be having a laugh with that judgement.
Hes deliberately ran at a player who was on the ground, not able to prepare for the hit.
3 separate incidents involving Isa and only a 2 game ban is nothing shory of shocking
Did anybody think it would be any more, u are talking about wigan. No one should be suprised. When he hurts someone badly by god the RFL should be hauled over the coals. They are the ones who are letting these bad bad tackles on players ..
Should have been a 4 match ban. For the attack on Welsby 2 matches, attack on Percival 1 match, attack on Grace 1 match.
The last time we saw a Goon player so much out of control was when Newton did Gardner, Gilmour and Long.
Newton was wired, I think that Isa is just vacant, he always looks blank when he's penalised like he has no idea at all what has just happened. As always the RFL disciplinary panel has taken a favourable view of a Wigan players thuggish behaviour. As previously stated, one day someone will be seriously hurt by one of them. Oh wait, Gentle Ben has already been there.
