Mik's been absolutely brilliant so far this season. Looks to have really stepped up

Yep, even impressed some on the pies board after last week. You know a non-wigan player has to be really going some to receive praise from that direction.

A sin bin instead of send off , same Ref

Going by tonight’s Hull v Wakey game Thaler only has his red card when the game is on BBC...

Yep just started a thread on that , it was a shocker

Consistency is the buzzword for this,and there is already a discrepancy.The tariff is 4 and a half matches for this type of offence.Over to you Mr Cullen and Co, try not to make us laugh.

Not sure it was as late but looked higher. Fwiw I thought yellow but agree about the consistency

Thought this would be about an Agar Out thread...

I wonder how long you get to appeal, I mean if there’s a similar tackle and the same ref gives a different decision....

He will get suspended so it should have been red

For me the consistency should have been a yellow card for both incidents.

I agree with you in that if its worth a suspension it should be red but personally I didn't feel it was worth a red or any ban after. Yellow card move on. (though thought that about tetevano and he got 4 games.)

I bet you are glad that you were not on the end of it

It should have been a red, he attacked the head with his shoulder he didn't attempt to effect a tackle.

Ref didn't think was worth a red.... And they seem to send off for anything these days.....

There's a reason I watch and don't play!
Thought first contact das with upper chest then slid up. Would have to watch again

I think the difference between the two incidents is Tetavano had been pushing the line all the first half

Have you watched again ?

Faraimo's was far worse, as indicated by the injured player. How we're in a situation where we lost Tetevano for 4.5 games (and basically forfeited a cup run) while Faraimo was allowed back on the pitch to help them to 2 SL points and will only miss two games for a far more blatant attack to the head is bewildering.

I've been watching quite a bit of NRL. FAR later and worse hits than Tet's seem to be getting 10 minutes in the bin, and going on report. The directive is clearly not to ruin games, and keep the best players on the field to enhance the spectacle.
Opposite aproach over here, and the RFL moan about not retaining or attracting new fans. For malicious and reckless play I support harsh sanctions, but the current margins are further ruining the game over here.
I was also shocked how some of our own fans can't seem to see this, and are in full support of the sending off and 4 game ban!

Some Leeds fans know the rules and aren't utterly blinkered?

Can understand why it was a send off but would like to see just a yellow. With the way concussions and brain injury lawsuits in union I'd expect to see harsher sentences.

I suspect this is a real driver. Again though it is the logic and consistency of application that’s the thing.

We don’t need box ticking, we need rules which genuinely, clearly and consistently deter dangerous behaviour where head injury is concerned.

Looks like Mossop will be getting 4 matches after last nights late hit.

Good job for Richardson he didn't make the contact he attempted otherwise he might well have been missing a few too

Must have missed the 4 games Mossop got as he`s playing today.
