Chrusher tackle and referee screams at the injured player to play the ball while docs on the field.

Then tells him he needs to go HIA then when he doesn't gives him a green card. Baffling.

[The Phantom Horseman]

It did look a definite crusher tackle. Producers missing one or two tricks in terms of what replays to show, think that will be a ban at the discplinary.

[The Blues Ox]

That looked like a try as well. 

[Wolfey Rovers]

Possible try missed? Looked on the down on the line

Does seem the TV companies are not really willing to show replays when players get injured anymore.

[The Phantom Horseman]

We've seen some flashes of why so many teams have made a move for Cory Aston over the years, and a lot more flashes of why so many of those teams have let him go.

[Wolfey Rovers]

Interesting half. 

Baffling decisions and missed tries. Entertaining game but neither team talking it by the scuff of the neak. 

If Swinton got the try, which did look a try. Sheffield would be more worried about the second half 

[The Blues Ox]

Not been bad entertainment to be fair just because its a bit scrappy. Swinton probably not deserving to be so far behind and would love to see a replay of the no try as he looks to be over the line with the ball on the floor.

Sheffield certainly seem to be trying to gift Swinton a try with those loose passes when it looked harder not to score than it did score.

[The Blues Ox]

Also never realised Paul Cooke was that tall/Kyle Amor that small. 

[Wolfey Rovers]

Paul cooke would be an excellent prop now! Cracking player in his hay day though 

[The Blues Ox]

And a bit of inudendo bingo to close the half time break. 

[The Phantom Horseman]

On tonight's evidence, Sheffield are massively dependent on their missing 37-year-old half back. Crying out for his craft near the tryline.

[Wolfey Rovers]

6 agains heavy in Sheffield's favour

[The Phantom Horseman]

I hadn't realised until tonight that , on a zero tackle after a knock on, if the ref calls 6 again on that tackle, it becomes the minus 1 tackle, ie the following tackle is tackle zero not tackle 1.

[Wolfey Rovers]

Swinton in!!! Game on!

[The Blues Ox]

Makes it interesting as Swinton have looked pretty decent with the ball and Sheffield look a bit oif a mess. Maybe that is a wake up call for them but as mntioned before they seem intent on gifting Swinton something.

[Josef K]

The No22 for the Eagles looks a fast lad. 

[Wolfey Rovers]

Sheffield losing their heads

[The Blues Ox]

Sheffield look a bit tired here, dropping off tackles.

[Wolfey Rovers]

Dire game, clueless ref! But it's a fun watch

Always remember the Hull v Leeds challenge cup final, Cooke a foot taller than Rob Burrow.

[The Blues Ox]

Roby looks a different class at the moment.

[Wolfey Rovers]

Swinton denied a second try. I'd feel hard done by Swinton.

 

[The Blues Ox]

Wow I think thats a try. I think its the guy who plays the ball that moves.
