Stupid by Newman especially after being out all season. Not helping us at all. You do have to question why Grant didn't send him off at the time if it was so bad?

Thompson's for me is extremely harsh. It was a trip but it was very minor, I felt a yellow was slightly harsh but could understand it. The yellow appeared to be given by the video ref: again, if it was so bad, why was he not red carded given the video ref had viewed same and intervened?

Tetevano deserves everything he gets and I for one hope he never plays for us again.

Is Tindall actually fit? Doesn't seem to have played for a while. If fit can't understand why he's not even featured for the reserves.

Fair point.

Newman's young he'll learn.

He will, but 1 match would have been fair not 2. that is seriously OTT given his record.

I agree.

Super player though he is, he does need to learn. He's been yapping at refs ever since he broke into the first team. Sadly it's now become part of the teams culture. I'm fed up of seeing us knock on or fail to play the ball because we are too busy complaining to the officials. They are not footballers. The club needs to get a hold of this self defeating behavior and drive it out. Only losers blame it on the ref.

It speaks to a lack of leadership in the playing group. I can't imagine this would be so prevalent with JP or Sinny in the team. We've always had whingers, but this is ridiculous.

The next batch of signings needs to include some senior players who will not put up with crap from their team mates.

I agree. I also reckon McDermott would have sorted it out as well.
It needs doing in a smarter way like Ablett used to. Saints were appealing for everything, Hurrell did a bit of diving to get a penalty off Martin. We are as thick as ….

The Thompson one is very harsh as is Newman’s but we keep getting into these positions.
