Still think with the performance and effort shown at Warrington that we have enough to be able to get on the board on Sunday against London, though I don’t expect it to easy if straight forward.
Keeping our discipline will be more important ever on Sunday.
I think you're treated differently depending on the colour of your shirt (a lot of people don't agree, which is fair enough) but I don't believe had it been Welsby, Farrell, Walmsley etc... in Brown's shoes on Friday they'd have seen a red card. We are definitely a target but out of the 4 cards we've received this season only 2 were correct, you'd think we and especially Brown would've received an apology for the game wide embarrassment on Friday but nothing aside from generic rubbish from the RFL saying we got it a bit wrong but meh we done really give a toss.
2 game ban for Sutcliffe seems about right, could have been more, it was stupid and careless.
Question is, players aren't supposed to touch the ref/officials in play, so why do we see numerous defenders, (all clubs players do it), run back in line with the ref and put there hand on his shoulder if stood next to him making sure he knows the player is back 10!?
I’m more than a little shocked at how short the MRP charge sheet is this week.
Saw a few games this weekend and there were a few incidents of foul play worthy of a mention and at least a fine.
For example Ormondroyd of Salford hit Miller, late and fairly high, after his punt upfield yesterday. It was enough for a yellow card in the game but no mention of it on the charge sheet.
For me it was worse than anything Jack Brown, Barron or Gardiner did?

The speed at which Griffith is running in relation to Sutcliffe for me is no issue but you have to ask why a referee would take up the position of running directly in the attacking line of the Warrington players rather then being slightly behind the play. Had the ball reached the nearest Warrington player, Griffiths would have been a line blocker for them. As I said in a previous post it just shows how poor the standard and lack of understanding of the game the official has.
If Griffith or even Moore as the VR had deemed Sutcliffe had made intentional contact with the ref he would more than likely have been carded at the time. For the MRP to say it was deliberate and intentional is a stretch as they can not ascertain that at all and this is the problem with the way they operate.
We have to agree to disagree on this Chris but im sure if the club thought there was any grounds for appeal they would have said already because given how harsh the Brown sending off was we must be due some compensation

Four of the six were Hull FC players The coach needs a wake up call when it comes to on field discipline because if it continues the same as last season London is likely to be the only game we win

It I'd, buy we do seemed to get picked on, as others have mentioned there were worst incidents than Jack Brown that didn't even get looked at.

What's Jack Logan up to these days?
Should have kept Manoa Wacokecoke for a year, could have loaned him out, would have been more use that the likes of Mitch.
Reading Dans latest article it sounds as though Carlos will be still be missing, shame about Barron as I thought he had a solid game at Warrington. Hopefully Houghton will pass the head test required and be able to take the field on Sunday.
Its certainly going to be very slim pickings for the 17 for Sunday so loans may well be the answer short term particularly at centre.
