I didn't see what incident caused the punching, but the punching seemed to be just one of those fights that happens in most games when someone doesn't like the treatment they get in a tackle.

The McIlorum case was clear foul play during the passage of play.

Love it how some idiots reckon that every single punch ever thrown ever by anybody eva were all 100% totally identical.

You should pack in RL and go watch soccer, where a stroke on the cheek with a bent little finger will get you sent off just the same as a full blooded left hook to the chin. That's the idiocy you get when you completely remove any discretion from a referee. Absurdity worthy of Alice in Wonderland.

I disagree, there should be consistency, it should not be down to an individual referees discretion (which seems currently the case) It should be a sin bin/sending off across the board, not as last night where the interpretation was there is only 1:30 left so lets forget it.

i can understand Wigans fans frustration. The MM incident v.s Bradford was pretty similar, Elima was trying to shrug MM off him to play the ball and MM just cracked Elima in the face (I still believe if Elima had thrown one back MM wouldn't have been sent off in that game)

LeuLai was pretty lucky. For me the sin bin needs to used more often in these situations.

don't be stupid. there was nothing wrong with it. do you have the same feeling about paul woods punch in the final?

thought not

I wonder how many sl refs have had new upvc windows fitted this year?
