Yeah I have thought about this and tend to agree. Initially my thoughts have been that my own club haven't travelled in large numbers in recent years, but would revise that to say that we travel quite well to marquee events and fixtures (like Catalans for example).
Hull FC reportedly interested for 2027
Hope that's true. 2026 would be easy too soon for my bank balance currently!

Disgusting from Hull at the end of that first half. I've seen some moronic moments in our sport, but to get a player binned and then sent off on the next play (and last play before halftime) is unforgivable.
Of all the good things we've done this season so far, we're in danger of undoing do much of it with absolutely stupid discipline. How we respond now is absolutely critical.
Congrats to Huddersfield on getting off the mark. In fairness you probably should have beaten us the first time round so I can take it.

Let me guess? Australian?
And we just don't get it?
In fairness, there's not really much there that is wrong.

Manchester Roosters?! Hard for Salford fans to take, would they set up a phoenix club?
Would be interesting to see.
Not quite the same, but Gateshead never set up a phoenix club when they moved to Newcastle.

Just throwing this one out there as a possible solution...
Given we know have a captain's challenge, could we not just make the scoring of a try the referee's decision, and if a team takes issue with it they can challenge the decision? If they've run out of challenges, that's their own fault. Stops the need to forensically look at every try then.

No head contact there. It's the whiplash motion that hurts Smith.
So why a yellow? He hits him as he's passing so not late.

Obstruction, in my opinion. Nsemba took the defender's outside shoulder, with Wardle cantering through.
That's what I thought. The first one was close, but this one was clear as day. The pitch marking of the penalty area made it very clear.
Unless the rule has changed, I'm not sure how that was given. Was an explanation given?

We looked very tired at the back end of that half. The last 2 tries were made on the back of missed tackles that we made earlier in the game. Need to sort that out otherwise we'll get steamrolled at the back end of the game.
I think we've been very unfortunate (or Wigan fortunate) in some situations, but you create your own luck. Wigan definitely good for the lead, but not by 10 points.

Same as the previous try for me, Briscoe poor read. Exposed at Centre
I agree the first time, but is the rule not that you have to have caught the ball on the outside of the dummy runner? The first was close, but this one was clearly on the inside.

Wigan's issues at prop look to have eased a bit with Thompson apparently back in contention.
Just looked at their starting line up. They're practically full strength. No Ethan Harvard.

Bit sad that a young English player out of form is being criticised to the point of directed to play rugby union.
Rugby league fans are their worst.

There's a difference though to leaning back to put a foot in-goal and jumping with a foot on the ground in the field of play.
I think it is possible that any foot used to jump in the field of play constitutes a jump from outside the in-goal.
I think that that is what caused the confusion. One of the forum's refs may be able to chime in, hopefully.
His foot was in the field of play.
So, red card!

lol at the last sentence.
He is about 6 inches off the floor.
Cust last week was ABH standard. Sue going for a tackle, bending his back pretty well for an old guy.
As said in previous post, if the red card last week wasn’t given, Sue’s is just penalty.
Sinfield’s shoulder charge to the head was a lot worse.
the final red card was a sympathy decision.
Jenna is just trying to get the casual viewers educated that it was a ridiculous decision.
edit; I’m not the first fella to estimate 6 inches incorrectly.
ABH standard
Give over.
The difference between the 2 is one was challenging for the ball and had no time to pull out. The other was going for a tackle and had time to adjust. It wasn't a sudden drop. The height is only an issue if it's a sudden change. It wasn't.

I'm not sure i follow Wilkin's rant. He's complaining never in a month of Sundays is it a sending off, but he'd have accepted a yellow. As we know it can be a fine line between yellow and red so how can you be so outraged, but accept yellow?
On one hand he's saying it's an accident, but he'd accept yellow which is serious foul play.
I also hated his claim that people who make these decisions have no experience. Well, he has no experience of making referee decisions but it doesn't stop him. Maybe he and other past players should become refs, but it's a rubbish criticism.
He's an attention seeker. He's trying to be controversial to get eyeballs on him and instead of calling him out, people are pacifying him, so he does it more.

For the record, Su's was a red because it was reckless force that he had time to reduce. I agree that he had little time to adjust his target, but he did have time to adjust his force. It wasn't a sudden drop.

I thought Cust’s was a red last week, but now I regret the decision as it’s opened the floodgates to lunacy
Funny that...

I’d say it was common sense over unprofessional journalism
Your job is to ask questions, not to agree on controversial answers that call into question the ref's competence and put words in the mouths of the viewers.
It was more of a red card than Cust's last week.

Wilkin is just going on one at the moment. He's unbearable.

Jenna Brooks practically agreeing with Willie Peters that it wasn't a red is pretty unprofessional journalism!

Huddersfield replaced Halifax in that area but this looks like it will flip back again.
Oldham was replaced with Salford and again a flip will occur.
Honesty think Rochdale and Oldham should merge as should halifax and huddersfield. Otherwise they will be forever fighting over the same talent and fans.
The issue with these mergers is that they need a sense of identity, otherwise fans will not gravitate to them and they will very quickly die as an idea. They'd need to apply to join, and their application will surely need to come with evidence of fan support.
Would a "West Yorkshire Giants" playing out of Halifax gain support?
Or "North Manchester Hornets" playing out of Oldham?
They're better prospects on paper geographically through association with bigger areas, but not necessarily in reality. I do think Oldham should tie-in with a casino though and go with Manchester Hold'ems

Rocham and Halifield.
The added bonus that we can tap into those old school tie networks if we have two teams that, when said together, sound like a Tory constituency.
Olddale and Huddersfax it is then.

Ridiculous.
Why pretend Batley is as beneficial as Toulouse or Catalans?
Perth absolutely has to prove that it would be beneficial. If they produce two homegrown players in the next two decades it would be overachieving.
Toulouse is at least as important to the European game as Perth is to the ANZ game.
Think you've completely misunderstood what was being said if that's your take.

Really hope NZ2 is next. That would be huge for the international game.
If it's not, I'm not sure when it will come. Can't see expansion beyond 20 for a very very long time unless there's another sudden influx of cash and players from this current expansion effort. Be interesting to see who would be considered next. Brisbane 3? Adelaide? Cairns? Darwin? Central Coast? Sunshine Coast?
Out of interest, how have the traditional North Sydney fans responded to this? Happy they're back as a brand or annoyed they've been relocated?

That's a good take. That tackle in Cust was sensational. I thought Cust should have done better. That brain explosion might have happened later though!
He made up for it though with a spectacular tackle to deny Swift from going over. Didn't even make it to the line!
