That’s twice he’s gonna take further action . Why do they all say that exact same lecture ?

Because it's the easiest thing to say without actually doing anything.

[Cheshire Setter]

Unintentional from Burrell so fair play to Kendall for not binning him.

Exactly

[Padge]

Right on cue, penalty given for grabbing around the neck.

Remind me Dave is grabbing someone around the neck legal or illegal.

I didnt think he grabbed his kneck. He had his arms round his torso, the fact he had McCArthy's arms wrapped up was the reason for the awkward landing imo as McCarthy couldn't land cleanly.

[my missus]

its like a nil nil football match were one team trys to score but can't score so the other team doesn't need to try anything

I suggest you watch the whole thing again. He had him lost grip then grabbed him round the neck.

So you're allowed to drill a player's head into the ground then, as long as you don't do those other things?

And I've seen some incredibly study video referee decisions over the last few weeks, so I won't use that as justification.

I'm perfectly happy for it to go through the process mate. Watching it on tv it doesn't look like an offence to me, and none of the four officials thought so either.

If he gets called up to the disciplinary, they will take the appropriate action.

[Cheshire Setter]

Hopefully the word will get to both coaches at half time to sort it out.   Could improve the second half quality as long as Warrington don’t wilt after the short turn.

[DavidM]

Not seen much of Burrell I know , but on evidence so far it’s gonna be a struggle for him you’d reckon to make this work at this level

As I say, happy to let the authorities rule on it. If he made a dangerous tackle, he should be punished. No issues with that.

[Man of Kent]

Salford 2-0 Warrington HT. The home side is the slightly more adventurous in a pisspoor game.

[Cheshire Setter]

You’d think Warrington will be happy with that half time score.   If we score first in the second forty could have a game on?

I am alright with that, its just in my view the first offence was by Warrington and the penalty went the wrong way, the officials seemed to be just concentrating on the scrap and not what caused it.

I did question this at the time, but since he doesn’t really count on the cap for the first couple of seasons I’m not too fussed if he can’t adjust quickly.   It’s more a case of whether Moran and co have wasted their money, but that’s their business.   Seems they can afford the risk and Moran is a big Burrell fan I know that much.   Should have signed him 6 years ago really though.

I wouldn’t have complained if it had gone that way although I feel there was no malice from Tasi whether it was illegal or not.   No way a sending off in a million years though where the heck are some people getting that from?

[Man of Kent]

Warrington rarely went through the hands even after the fourth tackle. Really poor half of football.

Yeah, I suppose it is pretty split even here though. A couple of non-Wire fans thought it was fine. Cummings thought it was a yellow, his co-commentators disagreed. 

I dont think it is clear cut.

[chuffer]

Fwiw i thought it was a DDT too

[Clogiron]

This is painful, I don't think I've seen two sides produce such poor kicking games, all the talk about what they need to do before hand has gone right out the window, they are both lucky to connect with the ball never mind anything else!

Let's hope for some improvement in the second half

I'll back track slightly here as the rear view shows he grabbed his shirt and then pulled him down with his arm hitting his neck.

Just seen that tackle again and it looks even worse.

McCarthy thought, like many SL players, that he could get a free penalty for starting a scrap. Good on Kendall for giving what he saw.

I think Warrington will be over the moon only being 2 down, with everything stacked against them Salford should be ripping Warrington to pieces. Short turn round eight of the staring line up missing I am amazed they are in it.

Maybe netball is a better sport for you.
