Agreed.
As said we've seen red cards for a lot less. Why no red this time?
Unless Pettybourne said something to start the incident then why on earth was he sin binned as well? Just seems like a refs kop-out.
Personally I think a yellow for Wood, not for Pettybourne, and penalty to Wigan would be the right call.
I don't think reds are necessary for a bit of biff between props. But going on what we've had for a couple of years it should've been a red for consistency.
The yellow for Pettybourne is ridiculous though.
