Thank goodness we've got a free weekend next week. Any news on how he is?

Saw one widnes fan in a white t-shirt come down shouting abuse while he was recieving treament what a sick individual he was,hope he feels proud of himself MORON

Yes all this "Not that kind of player" stuff annoys me ands it isn't relevant. Does that mean that only players who have DEATH tattooed on their knuckles and a meat cleaver secreted in their socks deserve a ban?



He may not have meant to hurt Brett but it was dangerous play and dangerous play should be punished.



And don't get me started on this early plea malarkey.

Phil Clarke thought it was ok...I kid ye not! He thought it was a legit tackle on a man going to ground. Outragous from the pie eyed to55ER.

Incidentally it took three posts for a Wigan fan on TotalRL to claim the 'tackle's wasn't zven worth a yellow. I hope Brett gets into a playable state soon but after that I wouldn't be surprised if he's done for 2013.



Sad to hear about the Widnes fan baiting him. I was in the West when Mathers almost killed King and had to put up with Wiganers shouting that they hoped he ended up in a wheelchair - not nice.

Anyone got any update on Brett's condition?

"@Cterristaylor Hodgson has stitches on his nose and is 'a bit slow' according to Smith. But seems to be fine other than that. #Wire"

Well have it how you will but Hep Cahill is not 'that type of player'. It was a poor, mistimed tackle and he should be punished for it.



It might be expected from Gareth Hock, or dare I say Morley or Westwood but not Cahill. He went for the big hit and unfortunately for Hodgson, he got it wrong.

No excuse for the morons on the terraces though. Kick em out of the game

Glad Hodgson OK. Had to be a red correct decision but no real malice - Hodgson was low with bent knees as is his style and the tackler was committed and couldn't get low enough with Hodgson in that position. One match would be a good penalty with warning about technique.

Not seen the tackle but hope he is ok too.



One of the toughest players in the game Hodgson.

He shut up after a little while though once he realised that he was in a minority of one. Using his, and some RLFans view on the contact, Rob Burrow should never ever be given a penalty for a high shot again as he ducks far lower than Hodgson did into every challenge.



Players have a 'duty of care' towards their fellow professionals and deserve punishment whether or not it is 'in their nature'. I suspect Hep Cahill can start looking for flights back home for the winter as I don't think he'll get to play for Widnes again in 2013.
