The Rugby League Disciplinary Panel have made their decisions for the Wigan Warriors and Hull KR Challenge Cup match.

Sam Walters has got a 7 match ban, and Harry Smith has a 1 match ban.

I feel Junior Nsemba has been lucky, not to get a mention, as he was involved in the same incident as Sam Walters.

So sad to learn of the passing of John Kear the #RugbyLeague player, coach and commentator. Apparently he passed away on his way home from commentating on the #ChallengeCup final on Saturday between #Wigan and #HullKR 😒

#RugbyLeague #ChallengeCup was always going to be won by Wigan

In the dying minutes of the game Wigan's No 14 gets a red card for a horrible incident where a HKR player was dumped on his head.
Interestingly their No 11 who was instrumental in the patently dangerous tackle received no penalty.
Rugby League is a tough game, played by tough people, there's no need to make it tougher by making bad tackles.

Up to this point in the game (76th minute (I think)) it was a great game, although in the 2nd half Hull Kingston Rovers seemed to run out of steam.

Wigan Warriors steam rolled that in the second half.

Guess there's going to be a lot of hangovers in Wigan tomorrow.
