Thought 2 was a bit harsh but Newman was out of order and needs to learn. Appealing was only ever going to result in an extra game. I can't work out the reasoning. First step in starting to improve as a club has to come from learning to shut up, take responsibility for our actions on the pitch, take the ban on the chin and learn from it. We seem to carry our in-game frustrations on afterwards and these constant appeals just make us look petulant. It's no wonder our card's been marked. I'm not sure who the ex ref is we keep consulting about these decisions but perhaps we need to stop asking them. We were a bit hard done by. Tough. Suck it up and move on. We keep making a difficult season hard on ourselves by losing players for even longer than we ned to and we only have ourselves to blame for that.

This weeks lottery numbers according to Paul Cullen are:……

The Tompkins one getting nothing is bizarre.
We got off lightly at least ( in context of previous)

i wonder if any saints players will be cited for their agressive body language to the ref after the Farrell try

Tomkins minimum 1 game for that incident.
Agree and have said before myself that we need to put a case to the RL comparing the bans to the ones we get against those other teams get.

Feel like we got done because Fages went off with a head assessment. Banning due to the result of the injury rather than the incident itself.
