You being quite conservative…2
My guess is 7-8.

An interesting and varied read in the 10 pages.

My view -
1. Catalans ready took it to us and deserved to win.
Their start to the match was incredible and their forwards dominated.
Considering they were significantly understrength - made worse when da Costa went off injured - they deserve massive plaudits.

2. Wire found a way to win even though they were second best. Fantastic resilience - something I've not seen for many many years from us. They didnt play at their best - weren't allowed to - yet they still came away with 2 points.
The chase back by 4 players to stop Johnstone scoring was really top draw and worth the entrance fee alone.

3. Dudson is a complete tool (a universal view) - he may not have ultimately cost us this match but could have the next two. What the f*** was he thinking? Johnstone did nothing wrong. Don't think we'll see him until late May / early June.

4. Drinkwater had a great match - arguably his best so far for us - and possibly just shades our mom from Dufty and Currie. Sublime kicking.

5. Some very difficult 50/50 calls for the ref and video ref, and also some forward passes not called (Danny was lucky one more than one occasion). I wouldn't have liked to try to make some of those calls.

6. Fan support fantastic.

7. Too many comments on this thread related to the commentators rather than the match. I'd rather talk about the excitement of the match.

Overall - this match had me on the edge of my seat from minute 1.
A fantastic showcase for RL apart from one tool.

I had a flashback to Ben Flower when Dudson hit him, and was praying his fist wasn't clenched.

It was. He's going to cop a big ban and we can't have any xomplaints.

Was it in the Wigan game yesterday that one got binned, it’s when the player is tackling from behind and falls backwards dragging the player down. It was on Da Costa, I saw the ref put it on report after the play stopped for doctor on the field.

Dudson let himself down, but let’s not be too hasty in calling for a mass lynching.

He can serve out his 3 game ban and he can get on with things.

If he does it again, then yea, get rid…. But let’s not be too harsh.

Yes it was a stupid thing to do, but it’s not as bad as some are making out.

I don’t think Philbin dropped his hip though, did he?

Never rated Dudson at Cats or Salford so a baffling signing imo.

Yes it was a Flower hit. Should be six months, aka season over.

It wasn't that bad, absolutely stupid but not as bad at all. He deserves whatever ban comes his way though regardless.

Although Dudson’s hit was nowhere near as bad as Flower’s, I’ve got no doubts the disciplinary will make an example of him due to the pending court case against the RFL from the ‘brain injury’ lawyers. There’s no way he’ll get less than 10 for that in the current climate. Especially when McGuire got 7 for use of a derogatory term.

Dudson - thug in the playground. Hitting someone when on the ground with little chance to defend themselves - it's just not on - and his 'what looked like' smirking as he left the field was not acceptable.

Agree though - let him serve his ban and come back. Whether he gets in ahead of Bullock / Harrison though is another matter.
Both of those two have proved their worth. Dudson hasn't so far.

Will have to look at it again, first impression was yes.

Be lucky if it’s only 3

Ah okay. I couldn’t replay it as I’m watching on NOW TV.

I hope he gets 10!

3!? You’re hoping! Will be a minium of six, striking when a player is on the floor. I think he’ll get eight.

Bullock must not be far off from returning.

I hope Dudson is banned, he was a panic signing and nowhere near Bullock levels. As a starting prop Dudson is woeful

Are you drunk? A cheap shot against a player on the floor who did nothing wrong and was unable to defend himself. And the bloke doing it has previous. It’s a 8+ and well deserved. And it won’t do you any harm anyway, the bloke is a liability.

Might be wrong, a lot's happened since, but was Dudson one of the first two carries of the game? And ineffectual also? Thinking back over a few weeks, he's been less effective than young Thomas.

His stupidity could have cost us the game and was thuggish and unwanted. The ridiculous 'whatever it was' to camera compounded the issue and if he never plays for us again it will be too soon.

Cancel his contract, get rid and use the Mikaele money to get a decent guy in

Can’t disagree with any of this, also just seen the video on bookface of the team song in dressing room and was happy to see he was not in it.

Fantastic win seeing as we had a man sent off and rightly too...that game tonight was the best game of the season so far and both teams deserve a lot of credit..as for dudson it was pure stupidity and should cop a big ban..gotta feeling we may suffer next week against that lot,hope I'm wrong

No idea why we signed Dudson, no idea what he offers, no idea why he punched Johnstone, no idea what the hell that stupid smirk was about, no idea why he shouldn't get at least the same ban as McGuire did, no ideas in his tiny little brain.

Pay his wages, send him to Widnes, chalk him up as this season's pointless signing...... Move on
