Friday could have been a great show of two sets of world class forwards battering 10 bells out of eachother, but the RFL continue to completely jez it. It's a physical contact sport and any neutrals or newcomers seeing penalties and charges doled out like this won't be converted any time soon.

Not looking good for Thursday then. Wonder what pack we can muster? Probably 3 youngsters in there

Both are harsh IMO, the Taylor challenge wasn't that bad, and Grade D for Watts is way over the top, considering he was also sunbinned. Let's hope Ellis is fit and Taylor can get off.



Chance for a couple of youngsters maybe.

Saying that we didn't to calm down a bit and it's really costing us, during and after games.

Sentencing guidelines are 1-2 games for Grade B and 3-5 for Grade D.

So Sam Moa has been charged with the same as Taylor.



Further proof that if one was a penalty then the other should have been as well.

Moa should get off as he did nothing - Taylor should get banned for acting a most of the night, Watts will also gett banned and for a few games but if anything his was just an accident

2 games in and we'll have had 3 players banned already, possibly losing those 3 key players for up to 8 matches. Injuries are part of the game but foul play leading to bans is just bl00dy stupid. We could well lose the next couple of games due to being down on numbers

ffs man it's not tiddlywinks. We like watching props act like dudes if it means smashing other props about, it's supposedly a cornerstone of the sport.

You're right. We all talk about leadership regarding Ellis. So when he's off and we need it what do we do? Our props go out and lose us 1 game and possibly more and put every1 else under pressure. 'Stupid' is being kind

Not when it's dumb. Taylor missed more than he hit. Eventually giving a costly pen

Watts ruined any chance of us getting back and has put us under immense pressure for the coming weeks

Lost us any chance of winning between then. I love a big hit. I like winning more

Might as well not turn up next couple of weeks then...
