Simple, get rid of the video ref review of things, I’m absolutely in favour of tidying dangerous contact up, but it’s ruining the game as a spectacle. I didn’t bother watching the game back because I knew the breaks would bother me.
Sort it out RFL or you’ll lose customers.
You should watch the game back it's worth it.
Whilst drinkwater was embarrassing, it'd matty lees' own fault for being a cowardly cheap shop merchant, despite being carded he still hit someone in the back in Identical fashion after he came back on. He could try cleaning up his act.

You're ALWAYS gonna have that stoppage with that type of suspected injury.
That's fine, award the HIA straight away and then give the medical staff the time they need to get the player off the pitch safely.
Guidance on Grading for Dangerous Contact (Late hit on passer) The RFL has been asked to provide further clarity around the guidance used for determining the grade of Dangerous Contact charges, specifically for the charge under Law 15.1 (i): Behaves in any way contrary to the true spirit of the game (includes Dangerous Contact)
A defending player makes contact with an opponent after the ball has been released by an opponent in a vulnerable position which causes flexion to the head, neck or spinal column on an attacking player, which poses an unacceptable risk of injury to that player.
For the avoidance of doubt, this document relates solely to this particular section contained within Dangerous Contact of the On Field Sentencing Guidelines pursuant to the above Charge. It is not intended to apply to any additional contact to the head offences which fall under Laws 15.1 (a) Trips, kicks or strikes another player, 15.1 (b) When tackling or attempting to tackle makes contact with the head or neck of an opponent or 15.1 (k) Shoulder Charge. The Laws of the Game serve to protect players from concussions and sub concussions caused by flexion to the head, neck or spinal column as a result of intentional, reckless or careless late hits. Any contact with a player after he or she has released the ball amounts to Misconduct pursuant to the Laws of the Game. Players have a duty to their opponents to operate within the Laws of the Game.

Not it was late contact causing flexion to the head, neck or spinal column.

Lees is an absolute liability and isn’t good enough to offset that. Wouldn’t want him anywhere near my side. Saints have splashed a bit of cash on their backs for next season when their pack needs a lot of work IMO.

I think Lees would be great under Burgess, but agreed their pack needs work.
