My point is that I'm surprised they grade contact with officials as low as grade A. I've only ever seen multiple match bans in the past I think.

No further action against Peacock! (or Segeyaro)

Touched and grabbed are 2 different things

Agree with this.

On a wider note it's a tad worrying about Peacock's behaviour. He managed to go an entire career without manhandling a ref or mouthing off to fans yet after leaving Leeds in the space of 1 season he's been offering fans out for a fight in a car park, calling people who disagree with him morons, and having a go at ref's on Twitter.

I hope he regains his composure because otherwise he won't be much use to Hull KR as a bigger version of Ben Cockayne.

My guess is it's frustration. His body won't do what he wants anymore and he's letting the anger out in other ways.
Think maybe Twitter might not be the best place for some people who are used to physical confrontations.

My initial though from that is WTF is going on with Danny Brough's hair?

Yeah probably. Most RL players seem pretty good on Twitter to be honest, especially given some of the stuff they have to put up with, but then I don't understand those who can't restrain themselves from having public accounts.

It's distracts you from looking at his face.

Lesser of two evils I suppose

Composure !!
He got away with joke play-the-balls for years without getting penalised, refs just ignored it. Every ball he played he never got anywhere near putting his foot on it. I know a lot of players get away with it nowadays but JPs were rubbish, he puts the ball down and just strides over it. That is a penalty every play he makes.

What's that got to do with composure? For a prop forward Peacock was very composed. Rarely getting into or causing fights and not at all niggly either with or without the ball.

Not if the refs let him get away with it

Does is really matter? Really? Get some perspective. Next you will be telling me supporters are walking away from the game in droves due to the play the ball.

Bear in mind that Giantscorpio is more accustomed to watching the likes of Big Eorl though. A most gentlemanly prop with excellent PTB skills.

I agree with you regarding Crabtree plus 75% of the rest of the players, but it needs clamping down on. The Aussies have. It is one of the first things you are taught when learning the game, how to play the ball correctly .

When looking at our ruck as a whole, not playing the ball with the foot is probably the least of my worries.

Andrew Fifita barely plays the ball either. Seems to go alright although he does get penalised every now and then.

The NRL ruck might be far quicker and neater than SL but does that make for a better game of rugby???? Because its so quick teams can just roll down the field with one man rugby.

In the NRL every single set of 6 is identical 3 one man drives followed by a structured play on the 4th involving 2 dummy runners then a drive followed by a kick then the opposition do exactly the same.

I found the NRL GF as boring as Origin if im honest. The ruck can be too quick in RL and thats what is happening in NRL in my opinion.

I still think defences allow too many easy metres. As long as you can march down the field 40/50 metres in 5 tackles playing no rugby then that's what you'll get.
Teams these days do that and look for a mistake then play all their rugby within 15 metres of the opposition try line.

If only we could play some rugby in that area of the field.

I was well aware of the irony as I wrote that.

Playing the ball, he'll never see the ball, with his gut.

Oh no I've hinted someone is fat.

Watch Frosties and Ex-Swarcliffe Rhino make an example of me.......

As you were...
