Leeds prop Sam Lisone to Hull FC. -
It was a bit bizarre I thought, it came in the immediate moments after Leeds' last try which was absolutely faultless as regards any possible rule infringements. The Lewis incident is in the following video with the replay around 1 minute 24 of the actual video time. I've watched it several times and, at the risk of incurring Worzel's wrath, I'm trying to work out what caused the HIA failure. Yes, Newman caught him high but it wasn't much more than a grab. He didn't make a direct hit on his jaw that normally is the reason a concussion occurs and his head didn't hit the ground either. It was a high tackle, that is obvious, and more than worthy of the penalty, but Lewis was losing the ball before any contact was made. I must admit, along with Jon Wells, I thought he was milking it a bit and was amazed when he failed his HIA. Perhaps the RFL Disciplinary will have a look and then we'll get their insight. Whatever, it was a high shot and Newman can probably consider himself fortunate that he didn't also have a sit down for at least ten minutes.

Steve Norton will always be my favourite player, he was just a genius so he gets my vote. However, it could be argued that when Hull signed Vince Farrar, that was such a statement of intent that other signings followed and I, among thousands of others, was able to witness one of the truly great periods in Hull FC's history.
