All we can ask for is effort, we know the teams underfunded and lacking quality, but we got effort, tad frustrating we were our own worst enemy at times from some senior players who should know better.
Pele, tindall, trueman back will make a difference.

Controversial but when I watched Ashworth’s hit on Satae in real time I couldn’t see where the clash of heads took place, instead I saw an upper body hit that rocked Satae’s head back, similar to the hit by Ese Ese. They showed the contact at least 15 times afterwards and from different angles in slow motion and I still don’t see a clash of heads, and before anyone says it, yes I went to Specsavers.

Didn't see anything in the ashworth incident nor the one in the saints game. I guess we'll see Monday just how serious these hits get interpreted by the rfl.

Have to agree with Armanit. Barrie Mac hasn’t helped with his guilty verdict. The rules of engagement are vague but satae comes in and it’s chest to chest contact. Don’t agree with it but reckon with Barry’s endorsement, Cullen and co will dish out a 2 match ban. Got my fingers crossed for Pele next week but reckon he’s going to cop a ban against Leigh. I’m not a betting man but might go to the bookies and put a tenner on.

Have to say I totally agree, looked to me that Satae’s head hits Ashworth just about on the top of Ashworths pectoral as Satae actually puts his head down. Thought a t the time and still do that a penalty would have been a harsh call but understandable given the current climate bit the yellow was again an example of something that really can not be avoided and is something that happens in every game and is almost impossible to remove from the game.
Can see the MRP giving a game or 2 and if so we are just back to square one when the punishment is not fitting the incident and the inconsistency is again a huge issue.
Barrie McDermott is an embarrassment and must watch a totally different game to me or he’s struggling to see with his one good eye. For a guy who played who he did the comments he comes out with now are just cringeworthy.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

As long as you keep paying your money to watch this type of game, then they don't care what you think.
And if you don't keep paying your money to watch this type of game, your pride will be attacked by your fellow supporters, who will tell you that you're not a true fan.
