Both Brown & Powell very lucky to come away with just cautions imo .

Wonder if Brown would have got a sanction if Powell hadn’t committed the same tackle and got away with it?

Great news regarding the Jack Brown incident, finally abit of consistency which we've all been calling for and about time, let's hope it continues.........



Pigs may fly

Watt's not too happy.....

the gift that keeps on giving!



Games on its if that’s a one match ban

Got out tickets booked, just a few rows in front of our usual reserved seats. I was waiting about fifty minutes, not too bad.



Cannot wait tio be back. Good news on Brown, surprising given that people would have you believe the RFL are biased against us...

They had a look at Big Chris throwing the ball down after scoring

The sad thing is, it's true...



Chris Satae: NFA



"Player throws ball at the ground close to opponent. Ball does not contact opponent but unnecessary behaviour."

Exactly and this is the issue and when everyone can see the evidence that the impact is directly to Griffs jaw/head with no contact anywhere else they really are clutching at straws to defend Farrells tackle. Yet a week earlier Jake gets a ban due no doubt to the blood but that was caused by Hardaker clashing heads with McNamara.



All fans and players alike ask for is consistency in the officiating and the review panel and a level playing field.



I have no doubt that Jack Brown & Elijah Taylor have got away with a ban because they’d then have to cite Powell for his tackle and give a heavier punishment for his poor record.



The RFL really have to sort it out, one thing I would like to see is something like the NHL do with penalties/suspensions in having a spokesperson explain the findings and also the if the official has made errors acknowledge it and review to improve performances.



I said after the game Brown wouldn’t be given a ban as both Hicks & Thaler missed or ignored the other two therefore reducing the accountability to that one decision with Brown. This decision was made easier as we won despite the yellow so the scenario would have been different I feel had we lost.



What concerns me is the lack of acceptance by the RFL and Head of Officiating that mistakes are being made too often even with the help of video and how can the same tackles be viewed so differently not just in the same game but the same half.

With the welcome news about Jack Brown and assuming no withdrawals I'd now be looking at



Connor, Fonua, Tuimavave, Griffin, Swift, Reynolds, Sneyd, Satae, Houghton, Sao, Savelio, Ma’u, Lane



Interchanges: Johnstone, Brown, Fash, Cator



Possibly Faraimo instead of Johnstone, not quite sure on that one.

I guess it depends how Houghton is after the forearm he received from Singleton and then clashing heads or rather his face/nose on Carlos’ head.

Its consistent but the wrong decision yet again

Of course we didnt want to lose Brown but no doubt he would have received a ban but for the similar tackle from Powell.
