Agree. Pat Rainford (North Wales Crusaders halfback) made a lazy tackle at Cornwall and had landed a 6 week (thats right, 6 weeks) suspension.....basically because he tried to get the player to his feet. Thats just extremely harsh

I haven't seen the incident but there's no excuse for players not knowing they can't do that these days, there have been plenty of high-profile incidents. The grading for "Makes unnecessary contact with a Player who is or may be injured" is either E or F and thus an automatic referral to the tribunal, and the suspension range for Grade E offences is four to six games.

That’s been the case for a while though you can’t drag players up even if you think he’s feigning it.

Even as an eternally hopeful Leigh fan I can only see a KR win today. Having said that it was around this period last year we came back to win in the last minute at Hull KR and then went on a 10 game winning run. 

Too many injuries and not playing well for long enough patches. KR by 16.

According to the BBC its Hull v Leigh.

They've even got the Hull badge on.

No assistants?

I can see why you're struggling a bit this year  

[Worzel]

Robbie Hunter-Paul has just promoted Rovers to losing Grand Finalists. He must have missed us getting battered by Wigan in the semi… I wish I had!!

[GeordieSaint]

Looking forward to this. 

Well done KR. Great crowd and atmosphere on Sat night prime time TV. 

[Barry Badrinath]

Kr pitch looks a lot better

[dkw]

Oof that's a hell.of a hit.

I noticed bbc had leutele's name incorrect on the pre match graphic, which isn't uncommon,  but sharon is mispronouncing it the same as well,  kinda annoying

What do you think of the game itself, so far? Leigh look to have some really spirit and go-forward from the PTB......until.....

[dkw]

Belting try but shocking defending. Moylan barely even bothered.

Burned for pace… superb try by Burgess. 

[Wolfey Rovers]

Moylan was an impeccable statue then. 

[Just Browny]

Looks like a cup quarter final this, decent start. Moylan did get made to look a donkey there.

It was good end to end start, lazy by dwyer in the line.

 

I'd be worried for matt moylan this afternoon 

[Barry Badrinath]

What's the deal with gildart lately,  is he injured?

[Nothus]

Ten minutes in and Evalds has 3 knock ons already

[JonM]

Charnley kinda saved 2 points there by continuing to chase Burgess right to the line and stopping him going under the posts.

[Barry Badrinath]

Oh that was a bit soft

Yes. He seemed to be the only one trying.
