Sat 7th Sept: SL: Warrington Wolves v St Helens KO 15:00 (Sky)

Don't agree with a yellow there at all. Maximum should be a penalty.

[GeordieSaint]

At least the rules are being applied consistently with the shoulder to the face. My only real observation with that Fitzgibbon is he’s a bit lucky as it is highly debatable Ritson was falling at the time of contact.

I hate the surrender call, seems to be overused. Not sure what Wires FB did on his kick return to have surrendered in the tackle.

In Canadian football if you do it in the in zone it's 1 point to the opposition.

It's a massive inzone:)

[Dave T]

It's a touch scrappy, but plenty of feeling in it so far!

Why is it?

Because it is one of the many jobs a referee has to do during a game?

It's kinda what they get paid for.

I was more referring to referees calling a surrender tackle when the attacker didn't seem to do anything to surrender.

I understamd if some players flop to their front to make sure they can try and get a quicker PTB, so the ref' calls it as a surrender tackle.

That was close from Warrington, just needed a bit more weight on that kick and it may have been a try.

Why was one of the commentators insinuating that Drinkwater is staying down for a review before he has even seen the incident?

So poor.

[Dave T]

Lees really is just a bit of a tool isn't he?

Although I assume Burgess is raging with Drinkwater.

[The Blues Ox]

This not showing a replay when someone is injured is doing my head in. Not sure when that became a thing but we want to see its just how it is.

[Old Frightful]

Nowt in that but Lees is still a dumbass.

It's not. It's their job to issue the punishment for foul play. Why should he step into Lees' path to stop him running in?

[sam4731]

That's 2 incidence of stay down, gain a player advantage. Neither of which deserved a yellow.

This is absolute nonsense now.

[Oldham 1]

That's terrible from Drinkwater , Lees pulled out of that never a sin bin should be a pen to saints for faking an injury

Probably because I have seen wet rich tea biscuits tougher than Drinkwater there…

I actually also don't agree with a yellow for that one, after seeing the replay. I didn't see more "flexation?" in the neck, Les didn't hit him that hard, but it was late.

Good post. Lees is a moron. I’ll refrain from talking about Drinkwater since I have just mentioned it in the previous post.

[Dave T]

Wire with the ball are looking fragmented at the moment.

We often seem a touch slope in these Saturday afternoon clashes.

Still unprofessional to insinuate it before he even watched the replay of the incident. 

[Dave T]

Superb Ashton.

[Click]

What was Lomax doing there in defence? 

[Padge]

Well taken try from Ashton

I saw you edit your post to add handling just as you dropped it again
