It seems Fairbank was the only player punished because he got the more obviosu punches in. Hallas didn't like been sent backwards which probably was the reason he threw one. I love how delighted Lilley was in trying to get Fairbank sent off. Not sure which contribution of his I enjoyed more, that one or his grubber kick to touch with about 10 minutes to go that screamed we are hanging on for dear life in this game against 12 men.
Yes deffo red , punches hallas while down on the ground , it is retaliation and if fairbank is cut then obviously hallas does something, an educated guess and from what I’ve seen from the highlights it seems hallas forearm/elbow swipes fairbank in the face , a palm wouldn’t cause a cut , not sure if the rfl disciplinary can retrospectively punish players but unfortunately fairbank is looking at a lengthy suspension.
