I was worried he’d cop a game for that swinger he did.
They are all under closer scrutiny so must be more careful because what might go unnoticed in the Championship will be spotted by the coverage. I must admit I believe he was lucky to escape a ban because it was definitely did not look good.

It was about right for the incident. There’s a new system in place so points have to accumulate and it’s not straightforward as just banning a player if they have no prior points. He could commit a lesser offence and then will receive a ban.

You can certainly see the Kirmond's coaching influence in Jack Croft's performances so far this season. Takes the ball up hard and looks a lot more confident defending, being in the second row leaves him a lot less exposed than he was in the centre, where he struggled in defence at times

Indeed, a ban will be coming for Lino, he's on a tightrope now so needs to be whiter than white.

Him and Storton were immense in the SR. Croft has completely reinvented his career in the second row and them two destroyed Bell-ently and McDonnell who I actually really rate. If he continues like that then Nikotemo will struggle to get in the team for me. Storton has that bit of X factor about him, but Croft is an absolute unit now and looked the part. Long may it continue
