I know i will get criticism but these two should get dropped.

Problem is if they use “common sense” and don’t red something like that they will get dropped. Into the championship or lower. 

[Damien]

Another card here for Powell

Yellow. Shoulder. Imo

How can anybody thats involved in the game in particular a ref believe that it was red. 

Anyhoo.

[Dave T]

I think that's how it should work.

Absolutely no attempt to wrap though, not too dissimilar to Watts.

No penalty try

Seems like more people need to read the documents Wells has read.

The height of the tackle the main difference. 

[Phil]

Oh dear, I’m really getting peed off here 

[sentoffagain2]

     No need for Powell to have his shoulder anywhere near Walkers head.Lucky he did not get a red.

[The Blues Ox]

Incorrect play the ball because he played it end over end. Can't see anything in the rules that says it can't be played like that.

Yeah it was a yellow for me too because of that. Just saying though. 

[Dave T]

This whistle is hurting my ears. 

[EastLondonMike]

Good thing about all games being shown - you can switch over. Now watching Broncos - Dragons.

[jacksy]

Having said all that I'm pleased with our effort.

It’s not a kop out for them. They have been told what to do in that type of incident. They have to follow protocols. They would get dropped for not following. You are blaming the wrong people

Yeah, he played it fine and it was called up because of how it wobbled on the ground. They are sometimes too quick to call a wobbly but legal PTB as incorrect.

It also says you can drop it to the floor, but you'll get penalised if you do.

You’ve been really good considering the number of players out and other ‘mitigating circumstances’ ie 12 players.

Fair enough.

Protocol may be followed, but ultimately humans can make mistakes. I accept its easy for me to say as a fan of the team ahead, but we need to let it play out and it'll settle. Imo.

Brown’s punishment at the disciplinary will be interesting 

[StandOffHalf]

Amidst the dispiriting disappointment around the nature of some/many decisions, I think there are positives for both teams.

I quite like how Warrington look with these pivots straightening up and then going to edges.

FC's young guys have generally shown a bit of application as well.

Now that is where consistency goes to die
