The other factor with combat sports like boxing is the rest period, you may only fight three or four times a year. With concussion injury the rest period is a major consideration.

I was worried before the game how we would react after the energy sapping game against Saints. A great response from the whole squad.
Some rest and perfecting our game next week ready for Cas in the CC.
Great to see Hill make his first start for the first team.

Really surprised that Hill was left out for the Good Friday match, felt he had been performing pretty well especially against Penrith.

His potential is scary.

I’ve lauded Hill I think he’s going to be a hell of a player but I’ve also noticed a few posts about Eseh almost as if he’s a bit of a project signing.

Eseh was really pushing for contention at a genuine member of the top 17 squad. His injury came at a really bad time and it’s almost as if he has become a bit of a forgotten man.

I can assure you, when he is fit Sam will be pushing for a genuine place in the 17. He offers something totally different to our other props as he is a natural off-loader.

He became a solid target last year after our home game against Trinity when he had a bit of a running tussle with Isa and came out on top. The lad is the real deal.

The key for us is having a plan around all these props because they are all SL ready and they need managing. Thankfully that is something we have been very good at but I do see the age and number of talented young props we have as our greatest test of how good we actually are at it.

Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.

Moylan was yellow because Field was falling on contact which is a mitigating factor according to criteria. Byrne was red because Percival wasn't falling. It seems very clear to me.

I think there have been issues with the MRP this year - the level of successful appeals has demonstrated a lack of consistency. But referees in this context shouldn't be blamed for doing the job that has been set out for them. If they ignore the criteria and choose to go another way they'll be out of a job just as anyone would if they choose not to follow the rules of the workplace.

I understand you don't like it and you may think everyone's gone soft etc but the underlying fact (not opinion but fact) is that the game can't play without insurance and insurance wasn't going to be provided without the changes. Write a letter to the insurers if you're angry about it.

Where does it state that referees should consider mitigating factors when making their decisions (serious question)?

Hopefully we’re seeing the start tonight of the refs ignoring people lying down, rubbing their heads/necks etc. Matty Dufty and Sam Lisone have both tried it on and been ignored.

Great to see.

It’s good to see though I did think that would be classed as a shoulder charge.

Before I stopped watching football a good 15-20 years ago I said that any player running in on the ref like that should get an automatic 1 match ban. I’d like to see that in RL. Give an 1 match ban to any player going into the ref appealing for decisions, sticking hands in the air to try and get someone sin binned etc. Would soon stop them.
