Usually the MRP tend to back the officials on field decisions so I would like to think that Ese'ese will be give NFA as Moore made it clear it was 'low end force' when explaining to Ese'ese. Sao is a tricky one as how may times have we seen similar when a player is trying to get up quickly, to ban Sao for me they would have to prove without doubt it was intentional. As for Pele well he's an idiot for the swinging arm so wouldn't be surprised to see 6 games though the fact he didn't make any contact with it may save him a game or 2. It does seem as though a certain official has an issue with the club though.

What has been interesting having watch all 6 games though is the disparity in the way the first 6 games have been officiated.

Which ever team you support , Some of this weekends decisions have been laughable .

It's what the game has to do to survive unfortunately thanks to those taking action against the RFL and it getting harder to get insurance. It's happening in rugby union too, players will have to adapt their tackling technique...Tariq Sims showed what's possible under the new rules! I don't blame the refs, they're just following what they're told by those higher up

I don't know if it is possible, but if the players are against these decisions (Twitter was awash with players saying "never a red" etc this weekend), then can the players union do some sort of disclaimer stating that if they suffer in the future with any brain injury issues, they won't sue the game. James Graham has stated he knew the risks when he started the game and wouldn't do anything. If Boxing, UFC etc can get insurance sorted for something that is 100% about hitting the head, then surely RL can

Wonder why it isn't happening in the NRL. I've not seen a current player on social media support the changes, lots have been very vocal against it, surley you could get professional players to sign waivers.

Haven't seen Simms hit, would it have been legal with next years rules?

I watched most of the NRL highlights over the weekend and there was plenty of cards been shown there also .

They are hot on yellows, very few reds, I'm sure last season there were only 4 red cards all season.
