The game will be finished at this rate we are now equal for sending offs for the entire last season of NRL in round 1.

A joke 

Hull FC were halfway there on Thursday.

It is this week.

Refs and the disciplinary have set their marker out in pre-season, this should not be a surprise to players 

 

And let's face it, that's classic Mclorum tackling 

He connects to the head but it’s not a swinging arm or intentional IMO. He hits Philbin with his bicep as he’s making the tackle.

Luke Yates has a 3 match ban for a more marginal high shot. 

 

He makes direct contact to the Head, with force and intent. Red all day long.

[Coggo]

Good rugby. Allez!

[DavidM]

Why didn’t Tez say ‘ he’s not a dirty player ‘ when Mcilorum got sent off ?

Neither can Gomersall...

[Old Frightful]

Why did he stay down?

[DavidM]

This is what you’re gonna get now . Players staying down , rushing in , waving arms about 

[Coggo]

Unintended consequences….

[Ant]

Well, I'm sure the Dragons player got a hit to the face before the ball was knocked down.

He should go off being mortally wounded

He's a Dragons player, they have mastered the art of trying to milk penalties.

Yeah but it was so quick nobody saw it….

[Hughsehhh]

Crowd needs to up the noise. 1st game of the season, a man down yet leading 

Can be a funny lot at time, the french 

[DavidM]

I was just thinking how quiet young Balders was until then

I still don't know the right spelling, it'll be in the disciplinary report I'm sure

[DavidM]

Wonder why Hull KR didn’t want Abdul 

[DavidM]

Wow

It’s not a joke and the game won’t be finished. Players have had plenty of notice to change and adapt but some haven’t bothered. 

[Spidey]

Who ran into who there? 

[Just Browny]

Turns out attackers can run at defenders and get them sinbinned now. What an odd game we have concocted.

Except that's not what happened.

 

This game could be wrapped up now if Catalan had a goal kicker.
