Senile old fart.

Head and feed...call it a bloody scrum

"it doesn't look like their trip to Australia has taken a feather out of them" (Hemmings, 201icon_cool.gif

2 matches back to back with O'Connor. They are doing it to annoy us now!

Wells and O'Connor have done a quite remarkable job to get from Castleford to Catalan in about 5 minutes.

Does Wells know the ‘t’ in Catalans isn’t silent?

Has O'Connor been relegated to 'second summariser'? A step in the right direction; but still need rid.

Thaler embarrassing himself here

How so?

Seems to have given wire what he can since the red

Wrong thread surely?

Didn't see a thread on tonight's game and didn't feel obliged to start one.Dont stress dear it's not the end of le world

Not stressing dear was more curious as to what Thaler did.

Well the first half he was as one sided as could possibly be.Its not always the amount of penalties it's how and where they are called.Let Hull get away with self same thing which he called on Wolves.Very noticeable. The Patton red had no malice it was a desperate tackle after winger broke a few tackles but a definite red by the laws. Watts was just plain dumb and Warry got a bit of steam up but the game was won at HT. Thaler MOM

Bless

You are so far wide of the mark as to be beyond help.


No malice, maybe, maybe not but his feet are off the ground when he swings his arm to knock him out.
As for Thaler giving everything to Hull in the first half,


We shot outselves in the foot, Warrington did well to come back and made a few errors that cost them tries.
We just about held on but Warrington were rubbish for the most part.

Anyone noticed the old traditional music (“seize the day”) that is played when showing the replays of tries sounds like a scratched CD?

What’s going on there?

I hate to see a whistle happy ref, but Warrington where appalling in the first half, stupid idiotic penalties real coach killers ref had no choice but to hammer them, should have been on a team warning, thought the tef gave them way too many chances to sort them selves out.
As for Patton no malice, your joking right, he new what he was doung it was a straight attak to the head, looking to do damage at thats what he did, it may be out if character but there was malice in it, could be looking at 4 matches.

The ref did that right thing sending both players of but besides that he was crap for both teams

Contact with jaw and a def red.The still picture of the wingers chops walloped by forearm are incriminating. Watching it live I felt it was always going to be red but after he broke 2 tackles Patton tried the tackle but got it all wrong. Suppose you can't prove one way or other if it was malicious but in slow motion it looks grim

Getting it all wrong?
You have never ever being allowed to tackle someone by jumping up so you can swing your arm with a clenched fist directly into the face of an opponent. There is ZERO attempt at a 'tackle' on show or acted out.

Don't think his fist connected? Don't know what else you want? Red card. Ban incoming very unfortunate for winger with 2 big whacks in a few week? The disciplinary committee rulings for both reds will be interesting?

Doesn't matter if it connected he still had a clenched fist which shows intent, also you implied he got the tackle 'wrong', as in he attempted a tackle, it wasn't an attempt at a tackle, not even close.
I'm clearing up your mis-interpretation of what happened.

The commentators on last nights game got beyond tedious. They were still rattling on about try no try calls from the refs 2 full sets after the VR decision.

There was zero talk about what was actually happening on the pitch. O'Connor is beyond tedious with his soundbites, its as if he has to get them all in and crosses them off one at a time regardless if they have anything to do with the game or not.

Then Hemmings, why does he seem to pick a favourite before kick off and harp on about him regardless of if he's playing well or not. Last nights was connor, give it a rest man.
