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.

"WIDNES went down 30-16 at the Shat against Halifax and have a real fight on their hands if they are to gain a play-off place in the Co-operative Championship."

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.

Sarah

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!

I'm sure it was a yellow card the Ref showed Sam!! I remember somebody asked me at the game and I said it was yellow!! But Sky said red card!1

if you read the rest of the posts, Sarah has officially confirmed from the club, that it was a yellow not red.

A member of the press confirmed it to me earlier today, I presume it was highlighted at the press conference.

Dont be daft!

They were happy to royally slate us on Boots n All for allegedly playing Whitehaven with 46 men on the pitch for an hour and a half; the day after the RFL noted exactly what had happened and that we did indeed on have 13 on the pitch but nowt was ever said the week after.

I think it was a yellow that Barlow got.

And yet we have NO players charged or suspended from the brawl

RFL website updated - Barlow charged and to appear on the 10/8 - sanction carries 2-3 match ban.
