Pure 100% Kendall game this 

[Hopie]

Another evening up sin bin decision, pathetic.

[M j M]

Kendall literally just made that Lisone thing up.

He ran in with his elbow up. Again.

That's not what he gave it for.

[StandOffHalf]

Lisone put the forearm into Tai's neck after the good hard contact. The big prop didn't appreciate being tackled by a centre

Tai reacted but Lisone's contact was dangerous. 

That was potentially a red card. I didn't see any yellow card offence from Tai.

Ref evening things up, but the only offence worthy of a card was the stupidity from Lisone.

[johnh1]

I know. Doesn’t mean he didn’t do it. That’s twice he has done it and got away with it in recent weeks.

[Barry Badrinath]

That was the first time I've seen Newman all night, on the edge of that schmozzle

Yeah, what on earth did Tai do to deserve a binning?

He tackled Lisone fairly, who reacted by jabbing his forearm into Tai's throat.

It just looks like a ref not looking at things carefully and chucking two fellas in the bin.

[Hopie]

Tackled in the air?

It was an open palm hand off and they already established earlier in the season when Lafai did it twice in one tackle that it’s still legal even if contact is made with the head.

Personally I think considering the crack down on head contact it should apply to attacking players also, and should be a penalty offence but it needs to be an a rule change and not referees going rogue mid match.

There’s been a few decisions in this match where it looks like Kendall has blown too early and looks to have pulled and infringement out his backside to cover.

Don't interrupt the conspiracy theorists while they're breaking the rules of the thread. They won't thank you, you know.

It was an elbow to the throat!

Damn. Was hoping we'd be the only losing team to score today

Not sure I get you, Padge.

You surely don't think a Wire player was marched alongside Lisone to keep a glimmer of hope for Leeds?

Accusing officials of rigging the game are you?

No, I am asking whether that is what YOU meant with your ''What about the game?'' comment. That could be interpreted as you saying that the game was being kept interesting.

Only Lisone should have been off. You responding to comments on that incident with ''What about the game?'' suggests that you want the game to be kept alive and the side in front to also be a man down.

That is not what I was saying. I was looking at this incident in isolation; analysing it objectively. Tai didn't do anything to merit a yellow, in my opinion. The raised forearm retaliation to being tackled by Lisone should have been looked at and could have merited a send-off. It was not looked at closely enough.

I was asking why you were obsessed with the referee and what appeared to be an accusations of them wanting to influence the result.

The what about the game comment was aimed at you because you seem to be more interested in the ref than the game.

[getdownmonkeyman]

Take both Frawley from Leeds and Drinkwater from Warrington and both sides would be improved.

Thanks for the clarification. I wouldn't want to misinterpret your post, although you seem fine with misinterpreting mine.

You didn't use to be able to use your elbow as a player, defensively or attacking.   I don't know if this rule was amended in recent years, but I haven't heard about it, and would be surprised if this were the case.

[StandOffHalf]

Sky joking about the Lisone forearm into the throat by looking at a miked-up Josh Warrington and saying that he knows a good punch when he sees it is a pretty bad look.
