I don't think i've even seen live or on TV the ref not produce a Red card for a Red card offense

. It's anything but common.

There's nothing from Sky TV to suggest that he [idefinitely[/i got sent off. The commentator only reacted to it being a sending off when he saw the graphic on screen, which could have been wrong.

To be fair, SeanFax is the only likely person on here to have an actual contact with the dressing room and he's been told it was a sin-bin, so i believe him.

Having said that, there's nothing stopping Barlow from getting a 1 match ban after the review

Except in last night's game, nobody had their arms held behind them while they were getting punched and unable to defend themselves

This is about a disgraceful 26 man brawl at a Fax v Widnes game. Oh look a common demoninator.............

the punch from behind on Nash wasn't fair - and then to run away to leave Gaskell to cop for the consequences from Nash was awful by Kavanagh

not seen a ruck like that since Thrummers

As someone who was also at the match, Barlow did receive a card, and I did see that it was the same colour as Nash's.

the ref issued 3 yellow cards, barlow was not sent off , however i think they will be more to come form this

Barlow went into the dugout which is not allowed if you are sent off as you MUST leave the playing field. Yellow card was given to Barlow.

Don't forget we also received the penalty and had Barlow been sent off I believe it would have been Widnes penalty or scrum down.

Penalty went our way for the original swinging arm, which would stand regardless of who was sent where following the all in, wouldn't it?

Maybe we'll get "sending off sufficient", after all we had to play the rest of the game (about 20 seconds) with fewer players than Widnes.

if the RFL look into it further i can see gannon getting called to the committee as when calmed down he started throwing punches at penky i think it was.

in courier calland says barlow got yellow card.
must be wishful thinking of sky giving red for hitting one of their beloved widnes players, even though hit nash.

Must have been Yellow as i'm not certain but isn't the rule that you present the red card first (if any) before dishing about the yellows? And Barlows card was given last.

It was definitely a yellow

It was definitely a yellow card that Sam Barlow received, confirmation from the ref this morning and the match officials department of the RFL.

Good news.

Would expect a few from both sides will be making a trip to Red Hall though after last night

watching the SKY replay the touch judge was spot on in naming Kavanagh (sp) as the protagonist, the clear high shot on Nash.

Yet strangely the ref didn't seem to pick up on his observation and single him out!

Nash is like a big soft girl Barlow should get 5 matches

If the tj would have got on the field as soon as he saw the high shot, then imo we woldnt have seen the mass brawl that followed. It was if he was waiting to see what happened with the spilt ball.

How dare you. Nash is awesome, the scousers couldn't handle him playing rugby so had to resort to cheap shots. He had already taken one off the ball before the brawl happened. You can tell he loves his rugby, loves playing for Fax and he's going to be a top player for us for the rest of the season.
Give the ball to Nash.

Teams seem to think that if they hit Nash and Branigan then Fax will crumble-time they realised that both Nash and Branigan,along with all the other Fax players who cop a high tackle,will just get up and get on with it.Well done to all 17 last night and anyone know what happened to Penkys teeth?

I cant remember a game this year where Luke hasnt been smacked around the head at least twice. Always seems to finish a game with blood on head/mouth

Any word on Wrenchy as well?

Given that it's pretty certain that Barlow got just a yellow and Sky made a 'boo boo', you think there's any chance they may recognise that mistake during tonights game and just slip in 'Btw, to those watching Championship rugby last night, during the scuffle Sam Barlow was shown to have been sent off, sorry for the confusion it caused etc.'?

No, i don't either

Sky commentators don't do apologies so to apologies to Fax would make them choke.Perhaps that not such a bad idea!
