There was mitigation, in that Field was falling. But the fact that it was a shoulder charge with no effort to wrap should be an aggrevating factor. Lucky it was only yellow

As bad as Castleford have been so far, at least we expected it. I can't imagine what Hull FC fans are making of this mess

It was a forearm directly to head. Falling attacker or not, and the Comms seem to think that isn't considered mitigating anyway, that should've been red

Pele was charged with a Grade E offence, which carries a 4-6 ban. What has previous got to do with Pele getting a smaller ban than the minimum for the grade, despite a deliberate swinging arm to the head AND throwing a punch in the resulting melee?

Fair play to Wigan, good value for the win. From a Cas perspective, a lot to be positive about. Last year, following the red card, we would have fallen apart and 70 would've been on. Instead, they kept going, worked hard. Still some questions about the attack, but defence is a huge upgrade on last year.

Is picking someone up and dropping them on their head not forceful contact?

I'm sorry, but how is what Watts just did worse than what Smith did?

Is this... Is this a cryptic crossword clue?

The "late hit" on Lomax - the Huddersfield player stood his ground, Lomax initiated contact, good no call. If Rugby League is serious about head injuries, incidents like Matty Lees' high shot on Ashton Goulding needs to be a red card. It was a swinging arm with direct contact to the head.

This is a game Cas should be winning and, in all honesty, *need* to win. So I'll go for a home win.

Apples and oranges. Christianity hasn't been illegal in this country within living memory, homosexuality has.

Lots of people talking about freedom of speech/religion and how everyone is allowed their opinion and so forth. And that is all perfectly true. That being said, if you are objecting to a shirt showing inclusivity towards a historically marginalised population, I'll use my freedom of expression to call you a bigot.

If that was enough evidence to overturn the on field decision, I hope neither you not Liam Moore ever serve on a jury...

How he can be 100% sure there was green to overturn that decision is beyond me. Was it green grass or a shadow? Crazy.

Cas are bang average be fair but Wire haven't been much better. Cas have somehow won 8 of their last 12 so with home field advantage I think they edge it.
