Thought Hansen was aiming for the legs but Ratchford was going down so first contact was the hip. Still unpleasant tactics.

Westwood's was a cheap shot and he should have been off.

He had a bad bruise. A bad bruise isn't a broken cheekbone, which you've described it as.

So what was Westwood actually trying to achieve?

Imagine if Ryan Bailey put a cheap shot in like Westwood this board would be in meltdown

Agree with this.



Hope we don't have a "cannonball" tackle saga next season like Souths did last year, who coaches them again?

So you've seen his scan then? How can you diagnose what he has from your armchair?

It was a blatant, nasty cheap shot. A straight red for me if the ref sees it. It's a banning offence IMO. Don't know how many games because I don't know how heavy they clamp down on these things these days.



I think Blake Green will have been hurt. But I don't think he was the five minutes on his back hurt which he milked it for.



I don't think RL players should have to deal with punches in play. It's cheap and disgusting to hit a guy who has two hands on the ball and no way to protect himself. But both the Wigan players milked the cheap and nasty play from Warrington for all they were worth.

Stick to wendyball where they fake their injuries. That was a bad one. Could be a fracture.

when you face and eye swell like that you can bet its an orbital bone/ cheek fracture... he said in the interview he had double vision for 10 minutes after he got up, highly doubt he was 'milking it'.

dubairl is the one diagnosing it: "Blake green eye is a right mess and thats a serious broken cheekbone"



I could be wrong. He might have a scan and it be revealed as a fracture. Just judging from the punch though it was just a cheap shot little dig and no more.
