Chad Townsend was sent off for flattening Ponga in the R17 game today between Knights and Sharks.

Despite the dramatic looking incident commentators on the incident have been split on whether it was a sending off offence or not.

They were trying to get into Ponga all game . He was ripping them apart . The play had stopped , it was cheap and cowardly and dangerous . I’ll say something for Ponga , as well as being brilliant he’s a hard nugget . He takes it and cones back for more

We all know that commentary was the Cas TV commentator on an in house production in a game years ago over here in the UK. 😄 Someone has been clever with the dubbing.

Mick Morgan's meltdown has had a bit more exposure over recent years, with it being dubbed over Neymar doing the mortally-wounded act after someone brushed past him, then apparently Jack Whitehall featured the original footage in a BBC TV show earlier this year.

Yes, that Neymar clip you mention is on YouTube.

I remember now it was Mick Morgan who ‘ can’t spake’. Lovely bloke, great player in his time. As well as Cas he played for Featherstone too. 

 

Morgan was right though, Campbell  was indeed a “bottle less git” that was a red all day for any team other than Wigan
