Dudson seemed to make every run with more intensity and effect than any of our props this season. I'm not expecting any miracles from him in 2023, but he's an upgrade on what we had in 2022. Shame about the moment of madness at the end, I can see a big ban.

Seemed like a nudge of a forehead rather than an overt violent attack.

So sending off sufficient if he was going elsewhere - but since he's coming to us, then a 6 game ban.

It wasn't exactly a headbutt was it, it was a push at best. The red card was warranted but I'm not sure it deserves a ban too.
In terms of performance they both improve our pack on that showing.

Leeds prop forward Prior did exactly the same on Tomkins, earlier in the game but Child didn`t red him.

Based on the games that fans have seen, what would be people's top 5 or even top 10 props ranked in SL? It would be interesting to see where our new recruits/current props potentially stand within those rankings...

I haven't watched enough SL this year to give a fair assessment imo, so over to someone who can better judge...

Liam Watts got 3 games for his similar style 'headbutt' in 2018.

Navarrette got 2 games at the back end of this season too

Cos Tomlin's fell to floor like footballer

Yes, he did, but Prior still led with his head.

Christ get on with game no need for the acting it's creeping more and more in our game..if that's what you wanna watch stick to premiership footy not our game..and remember Tomkin's invented the art art of trapping a players arm in the tackle and playing for a penalty..he's nothing more than a cheat

Doesn't deserve a ban are you stark raving barmy?

It was a headbutt and nothing less.
