I thought Hull had been playing well to be fair. Not pretty. But playing well under the conditions and missing most of their team.

[Padge]

That isn't about malice, technique or being avoidable, that was pure accident.

[Angelic Upstart]

Is this how we're supposed to attract new fans?

[Ant]

Well, I'm glad to see we all agree that was an abysmal card decision 

[DavidM]

So are there no head clashes now at all , I don’t know 

[Old Frightful]

Words fail me.

Not to often everyone is in unison on this forum. That speaks volumes and says it all.

Nevertheless, striking, picketing or giving up watching the game or sport is cutting your nose off to spite your face.

Not joking, it’s actually made me feel a bit down in the dumps that sending off. Where is the game going if that’s a red? It’s been a huge part of my life for 35 years but It’s a real concern that I might get to the point that it won’t be any longer.

Yes. They are just send offs. Enjoy! 

[sheddingswasus]

Simply an abysmal decision. I totally agree with cutting out head tackles, but they just got this totally wrong

No you won't, I'm sure.

Not sure you know. Giving up the game you love because your lads are getting sent off in 50/50’s wouid he but this isn’t the game we love is it?! Doesn’t look like it anyway.

If you bite your lip us other viewers might get sent off because you accidentally bled a bit.

Brilliantly summed up.

[Angelic Upstart]

Why doesn't Currie see red as well for a clash of heads?

[DavidM]

An existential threat to the game if that’s red . 100% correct

We’ll wait and see. I see that as a red card against my side in a Grand Final and I’m not sure I bother going forward. 

[GeordieSaint]

Wilkin bang on. Last night Donaldson whacked the KR player in the head whilst off his feet. Yellow card. Tonight a slight head clash results in a card. Awful. Absolutely awful.

[gingerjon]

Just watching the half time on this game having not seen any as watching Broncos v Catalans.

That's not a red. It's not a yellow.

Given the explanations we've heard that explain the cards in other games, I do not see how that fits at all.

Is this how we are going to keep existing fans?

[Ant]

For once, Wilkin isn't talking garbage.

[Bull Mania]

Just feel so deflated of where the sport I've loved is going. It simply won't survive if that's the norm.
