Frank Pritchard makes a high tackle on Michael Oldfield and is placed on report. Great news for Hull - he's missing from a Cup tie against St Helens and now he could be suspended. 6-6

Would he be suspended for Hull, surely if he gets suspended it will be for international rugby, not his club side?

I thoroughly enjoyed the day out with Manu and Pritchard tangling a few times- Pritchard had the better game. He looked to be favouring his heavily strapped knee at some stages but looked ok at the end.
Both the Pacific Island games were good exciting spectacles and showed up the previous days Aus v Kiwis match which was dull and dour in comparison.
The best match for me was Junior Aus v Kiwis which showed off the outstanding talent coming through at this level.

Agree - terrific entertainment. I switched on intending to watch the junior aus/kiwi match. Bucketing down all day here in Perth, so watched all three. Hope Motu is having a word with the PNG halfback, - would look good in a B&W shirt

Great Britain forward Adrian Morley was handed a £2,000 fine but no ban after his sending off against Australia in the first Ashes Test.
Sydney Roosters star Morley was dismissed after just 12 seconds of Great Britain's 22-18 defeat and the incident was referred to a three-man disciplinary panel.
John McDonald, chairman of the Queensland Rugby League and a former chairman of the International Board, wanted Morley banned for the high tackle.
But McDonald was out-voted by his colleagues, Derek Fox - the Great Britain representative - and panel chairman judge Peter Charlesworth.
Is there an International disciplinary board to deal with this? hopefully a prescedence has been set with a fine for a reckless challenge....Just a thought
