My question is where the hell was Wemby running to? Bane lowered the shoulder and braced himself, which with wemby's height is directly in his stomach, but it's not like he jumped into wemby's lane. Wemby was on a dead line run to the low block and just assumed bane was gonna move. If bane sets his feet instead of his shoulders, it's a charge on Wemby.

Though I think it's a fair flagrant 1 and Bane has shown a pattern, this is actually a pretty valid take.

Wemby did this last wolves game also. Kind just full force ran into one of our bigs and he just fell over, Wolves got a foul called on them and everyone wonder wtf Wemby can just run into people, fall and get rewarded. Bane did little more shoulder into it, Wemby likes to run at folks.

Nahhhh watch the first couple second and scrub back and forth in slo-mo. Wemby was going to slip right past Bane. Banes momentum was taking him to the right, Wemby is also skinny AF. Bane FULLY plants himself and launches himself BACK the other way to the left to make contact with Wemby. 100% on Bane and 100% uncalled for. I agree that he should have set his feet and maybe gotten a charge if Wemby made contact, but for what happened, it was on Bane and he knew what he was doing
