I'm with you Seth , the game has gone for me , last nights under international rules was far better , despite that idiot in the middle forgetting a couple of them . Good to see that the ref and video ref remembered who's side they were on though

Donaldson will get at least 2 matches which is fair enough I think a ban for Lisone would be harsh.

I thought people who said this were mostly mocking the pearl clutchers but you might actually be serious

2 games for Donno
3 for Lisone somehow

The ban for Lisone is utterly ridiculous, the club must appeal that

The lisone ban is absolute horse sht, how on earth does he get more than Donaldson and what the fk does this all say about the Nu Brown red who now gets no games. Its a joke.

Lisones seemed to go up off the shoulder, rather than straight shot to the face like Donaldsons, more strange decisions from the MRP

Hicks' comments re: Nu Brown

Robert Hicks, the RFL’s Director of Operations and Legal, said: “We are in the very early stages of the season at all levels having introduced significant changes as recommended by the sport’s Brain Health Sub-Committee, and in that regard we thank the players and coaches for their response.

“Comparing Round Two of the Betfred Super League to the opening round, there has been a significant reduction in the number of charges, reflecting a significant change in player behaviour – with a tiny proportion of over 3,000 tackle events leading to charges for head contact. It has been a similar story through the early rounds of the Betfred Challenge Cup and the AB Sundecks 1895 Cup.

“However we have acknowledged throughout this process that it would be challenging for all, and that as a governing body we need to be flexible, and sympathetic to those at the sharp end.

“The dismissal of Nu Brown at Warrington on Friday night was an uncomfortable moment for the sport, and it has highlighted a lack of clarity in the wording of the framework as followed by match officials on the night.

“We recognise this will be of little consolation to the player or his club – and we thank them for their measured response.

“Head to head contact was an area highlighted as especially important by the Brain Health Sub-Committee, given the impact on two players, so it will remain a focus of the framework, and will continue to be sanctioned – specific to initial contact.

“The meetings with head coaches and senior players this week are another opportunity to update and consult, given the importance of communication through this process

MRP think the Lisone one is as bad as the Pele swinging arm then

The Lisone one was dumb, he didn't need to do that. But it wasn't worse than Donaldson's. 3 and 2 the other way around would make much more sense.

The RFL admitting the Brown send off was incorrect is very positive news.
