| Quote the fucitolbladderwrack="the fucitolbladderwrack".....Farrell still shows glimpses of what he is capable of, but he and indeed Shaun Wayne really could learn a lot by looking at the examples set by chris hill and=#FF0000 [size=150Jamie Peacock [/sizebefore him, not just for Wigans benefit, but for Englands and possibly Great Britains in the future.'"
And this is where your argument falls down, as the great JP was guilty of a much worse 'knees-first' challenge last year: I forget who against, but he deliberately put his knees into the body of a player in the act of touching down, whilst clearly making no effort of a proper tackle. |

The worst incident I've seen was Chev Walkers blatant punch on Sam Tomkins whilst in the act of scoring a try at Odsal a few years back, he was knocked unconscious but I don't recall an 8pt try being given that day. |

Was it not Gareth Raynor?

| Quote Cherry.Pie="Cherry.Pie"There are plenty of players who have been given the 'penalty machine' tag over the years because they give away a lot of penalties for interference. Over the years it's been O'Loughlin, Joel Tomkins, Hoffman, before that Bailey, now Farrell. Basically, some very good and very experienced players give away penalties like that because they are expected to slow the game down. All teams try to do it. The hard working back row forwards who make plenty of tackles generally do it the most and sometimes they push it too far.
I don't quite get the criticism of Farrell. He's a better player now than ever before. He makes a huge number of metres, a huge number of tackles, is consistent, gets stuck in when things are going tough, has improved his skills so that this season he's created tries and breaks with smart passes and also put in some good kicks.
Occasionally he'll lose his cool and do something petulant out of frustration when things aren't going right. It's not something that happens that regularly and he's hardly in a minority of players who that applies to.'"
I agree. He made some poor decisions in the Wire game but generally is one of our best and most reliable players. Others make mistakes week in and week out and get let off with comments about mistakes being forgiven because they are flavour of the month at the moment. |

Charged, grade B, 1-2 matches.
Hopefully he'll learn his lesson, you can't defend what he did.

Deserves a suspension.
He'll probably submit an egp and take the one match ban. |

Teams are guaranteed 2-3 penalties a game from him, when things go against him he throws his toys out of the pram and becomes petulant.
As a player he's going backwards.

Definitely.
On another note does anyone else find it odd that he is the only player charged with something out of every player in SL since the start of the Easter period? |

In my view it was something and nothing and wholly unexceptional. If that was the worst piece of foul play over the entire weekend, well, I would be surprised...

Deserving of a ban, but not something i have not seen many times over the seasons..... No doubt this will be taken as support by the haters.

If he'd been any later he'd have fouled a Wakefield player. |
