Yes I was against how harsh actions were deemed to be by the officials, ut I was shouted down by those who said they were nessacary, so what now?
You should be happy that they have been relaxed a bit?

So with your previous comments before this round of games you must be very disappointed that the rules have been relaxed.
I think you are getting confused here Harry, you keep using the word condoned, what people were saying is that if head high tackles are automatically cards then so be it and the game isn’t ‘gone’. However it’s obvious that has been relaxed, you can be ok with both those positions. But you were against those interpretations but now seem annoyed they have been relaxed.

But given how it is worded, what are you charging him for? He’s not accused anyone of anything and said he’ll be noisy in the next council meeting. As stupid a post it is, I don’t see how you can bring charges for it
Bad spelling

Don't go there.
Doesn’t always translate, some coaches are excellent at getting the best out of ‘lesser teams’ so to speak.
When they go to bigger clubs with different expectations it can go badly - see Daryl Powell

Bennison was poor last night. He has done well in recent times. But he also lacks pace. I’d be picking Ritson or blooding one of the other kids like Sambou if I was Wellens.
Pleased with Dodd and delighted with Clarke and Whitley. But yep, jury is out on Mbye and I’ll wait to pass judgment on Blake until we see him on a dry track. He does bring much needed pace to the backline but Lafai stood him up badly for the winning try… awful defence.
To be fair to Blake (and we’re seeing it a bit with Momirosvki) it does often take imports a month or so to settle in, it’s a big change for them.

Have they or was this Mr Kendalls deliberation, still awaiting confirmation on the rules being more lenient as is being claimed.
Why would he have to confirm anything to you?
I’m not sure what you’re suggesting here to be honest, there has been far freer cards produced since round one, it’s not just Leigh that have been hard done to so to speak.

How in earth can you lot who were condoning the the actions refs were taking, suddenly about face, you either want action taking for head tackles or you don't, you are every bit as hypocritical as you claim I am.
Where is the link to the law changes or again are you lying, 3rd request.
There doesn’t need to be a law change for the refs to have been told to interpret them differently.
The refs have been consistent if you watch all the games so far this round.

Thought we were in control until Percival's red card. I don't see that as an excuse though, I would expect us to be good enough to win even with 12 men when we had a 14 point lead. We made some mistakes and Salford were good enough to execute and finish those chances.
Sneyd was excellent and I thought Salford's expansive tactics worked very well against us and I expect Leeds will use a similar approach next week. From our perspective, Dodd has had a really strong start to the season which has been great to see.
Yes Dodd has looked a lot better from what I’ve seen, Lomax doesn’t seem as effective though?
Clarke was just the type of hooker Saints needed.
One thing that’s stood out is I think Saints are lacking some pace, Im not convinced Bennison is a winger either.
not seen a lot but from what i have seen Mby and Blake look disinterested and sluggish

Beibg overly pedantic to scorenpoints. After being told for weeks this is how it is and move with the times, it is entirely fair to them complain when it turns out we're not gonna bother at all and everything he was told for weeks was BS.
The issue here isn't Harry. This is why fans get peed off. And I don't include Derek in that, he's a drunken tool.
Happens every time new protocols are brought in, It was always going to settle down after a few games.
Rohan Smith’s presser is interesting, he’s basically saying that it’s created a situation where players, fans and coaches are now concentrating too much on wether it is or isn’t a card, i agree, you see far more players complaining to the ref, fans screaming for cards after every tackle etc.

I actually think that's unfair - I don't agree with too many of Harry's views, but the likes of him were aggressibeky shot down for complaining about the clamp down, so I think his complaints are now valid. The likes of Harry were told this was the new world and we had to change. But let's be honest, the RFL have bottled it yet again.
The point is, Harry was complaining that they were being too harsh, now for whatever reason the RFL have ‘bottled it’ I agree, however surely Harry should be celebrating this fact? But because Leigh we’re involved he’s doing the opposite.

That is true about the intent of most dangerous tackles to be fair.
It is but as I say it’s pretty rare for those to be cards.

He was quiting the game because of it, but now he wants it to stay the same....because "consistency". Ridiculous hypocrisy.
The thing is it’s obviously been a directive to be less harsh on these tackles, watch all the games this round and you will see consistency.
so Harry has got what he wanted, but because he feels Leigh were badly done to hes singing a different tune.

You have the better of me I haven't seen the incident with Percival, but please explain how it differs from the incidents you condone in the other thread you have posted in numerous times.
Percival hits him with a shoulder to the head whilst not really making an attempt at a tackle, they are not comparable.

I missed that. It seems so out of character, too. What did he say, if "say" is quite the right word?

Agree with that. Just think Ackers was lucky that’s all. As a challenge, I actually have more issue with Croft’s on O’Brien. I don’t think he intended to tip him, but it was sly and he could easily have avoided the contact, the nature of which can be dangerous
Not sure how often those (croft) get cards, it wasn’t deliberate he just messed it up.

Ok,
Everyone looked shell shocked that he put the ball over the line but the ball carrying arm wasn’t grounded although you could deem the momentum was.
The online call of the ref needs to stop and let the VR make the call.
Every single person in the pub I was in (and on Sky) couldn’t see a DM where his ball carrying arm was grounded first before he reached over.
I will look again later but I think the VR had a pie in the oven !
Maybe the ref who was directly looking at it had a better view than you in the pub?
Just a thought.
Although im not particularly in disagreement about ref call needing to go.

The problem with the VR their is that he made a decision (from what was shown on TV) based on the worst angle he could have had, it needed a view from the other side to provide any clarity - maybe there are less camera’s at the ground nowadays with all games being on TV
the same with Hanleys try, that looked the right decision but needed a back view to see if the foot was raised or not
It didn’t need a back view, the view he looked at showed his hand also in touch and him dropping the ball.

I thought the current protocols were for the officials to take action against head contact tackles and moreso for direct head contact? please explain if I have misunderstood.
They did take action, Leigh got penalties.

What was your thoughts on Amones disallowed try ?
Did it go up as no try?

Leigh gave a lot of six agains away for markers not being square, they've been told this would be clamped down on so theyve only got themselves to blame on those ones

You may well be right. However, as an armchair viewer a couple of hundred miles away, I was surprised that the video ref didn't ask for anything from the side to determine whether the player's foot was raised. From the head on view, I, for one, couldn't tell whether his foot was or was not raised and I don't think either my eyesight or my telly are that bad!
The video ref won’t be looking at it on a tv sat in his armchair, anyway it was the correct decision.
fans moan when VR takes too long, fans moan when VR makes a quick and correct decision

As your team were involved you'll obviously say that. As a neutral I stand by my opinion.
The point being teams will get 50/50 calls for and against them all season, owners of clubs shouldn’t be dummy spitting after games.
