Let’s see what fans think when our players start getting sent off for pretty minor retaliations….

I thought Parcell wasn’t far away from an eye gouge, hand with crab fingers across the face and near the eyes. Absolutely no need and irrespective of if you connect or not that is the type of thing I would say we want to get rid of. It looks bad and is just grubby and we can do without it.
Stupid retaliation, I don’t think it was a natural reaction and again if you connect with the knee or not you just shouldn’t do it. Probably wasn’t worth a red on the connection itself but think some of it was the intention.
I would just red them both and say stop being stupid. If you want stuff to stop then cards should in theory stop it happening again the week after

Kneeing someone in the head twice is not minor.

If any of our players did what pele, sao or parcell did last night, Id be fuming…

… at the players.

Thought the game was of a pretty poor standard last night, good atmosphere and looked good for TV but the standard particularly from FC was poor.

It was terrible, especially FC, however it looked fantastic and even the controversy seems to have made an impact in Social Media, for the first time in a long while the game looks modern vibrant and exciting

Seen people saying they’ll finish as high as third, maybe not on here but twitter, articles etc

And their fans are definitely over hyping them

Agree. Definitely a positive start overall which is good news.

No wonder KR got rid of Abdul. He looks more like a darts player than an RL player.

Insult to Most darts players, thought Brendan Hill was back.
He looks like 15kg heavier than start of last season

Still outplayed both Warrington’s halfbacks though
