I'd love to see a side-by-side comparison of the challenge that saw Vaughen get red and the HKR player only get yellow. No consistency leaves the game open for ridicule and accusations of bias and corruption.
Whilst I might agree with your theory that a 13 a side game would have probably provided a different outcome the two yellows were justified IMO and the one where Burgess professionally slowed the PTB down may have resulted in a Wigan score.
The high shot yellow was also fair IMO because of the Rick O'Shea, the problem that we all seem to have is the subjective and retrospective nature of reviewing incidents both in game and via the MRP and the 'footballization' of players playing to to video ref and without the mandatory HIA for the 'victim'. Was this incident and outcome any worse than the Vaughan 'tackle'?
Quite a mess I hope that players coaches and the RFL get together to stamp this circus out next season
