And im not on about a change of chairman at Gateshull.

Just watching the derby again for a laugh, and Tansey attempts to trip Dobbo as he goes in for his try , he goes in with both feet and also attempts to trip Webbo going in with both feet when he scored his try to seal another victory for us, i remember Radders tripping ( not acid) at last seasons derby ,and also against when Gateshull played Bradford away last season , can anyone enlighten me to when & why this rule was changed because a trip or attempted trip used to be a straight red card ?

I don't even think the incidents that you mention were even referred to the RFL disciplinary committee.

The attempt by Tansey against Webster was a two footed lunge.
i think the Sky team made a reference to it.

As for tripping it does not appear to be a straight red now.

tansey was given a warning about his technique (or a letter) can't remember which, it was on humberside and in the mail on the tuesday or wednesday after the game.

They changed the automatic red card for tripping a few years back, it was one of those were you don't remember at the time the rule was changed but I remember phil clarke banging on about it in a sky commentary one night.

If you have one hand on a player you can trip as far as I am aware although it is at the officials hands as to how they see it.

The one in the CC on the weekend was a bad one and should have been at least put on report if not yellow carded for intent.

I remember a certain Liam Colbon doing it to Briscoe last year in the 18-12 defeat by Wigan!

I remember a certain Paul Harkin doing it at Elland Rd in '86 and getting sent off for it.

Just before half time he went for it? 12-6 down and blitzed into a 24-12 lead. 12 v 13, sensational stuff. Probably not seen a performance like it since.

Mike Smith was electric. Leeds didn't know what hit them! 24-24.

17-0 replay, Fairburn opening the scoring with a drop goal.

Marvellous.
:D

And don't forget the extra 8,000 there for the replay only a few nights later :shock:

Couldn't believe the RFL doing that to us, making us go to Leeds twice in 5 days when Boothferry Park could have been used :evil:

Still, happy days, well at least until the final :( That final was the last one without one of the 'top 4' teams not appearing in the final until this year

Didn't that technique used to be called a 'Cumbrian Throw' well by Eddie Waring and Ray French at least.

As for the CC 'trip' - I also though further action was warrented.
