lets see how consistant and fair the RFL are. The same player carried out chicken wing tackles in the hudds v cas game. I am not sure of the players name he plays for the hudds team. We will see how fair they actualy are

It was O'Donnell.

Think it was Luke O'Donnell

I've just posted something similar on the Saints site under the Lima thread.

Now Rogues I didn't take you to be someone who get's paranoid over something.

lol I think a lot of fans are going to miss enjoying good games this season due to you watching every tackle to see if it is a chicken wing.

Now L.
I was sat watching with "the boss" (a true Billinger) and I noticed about three tackles that looked dubious. I also noticed a few play the balls (now that's my forte') that were diabolical but were never picked up.
Is that better?

or do you want to talk about the Saints quarterback from last week.

Perhaps, all those coaches last year that complained about Wigan and Huddersfields tackling tachniques, actually had a point!

No its us that had the points.

That's why they complained.

I thought whilst watching the Cas, Giant's game this evening that the ruck speed was significantly slower in comparison with MM game's. Now whether that was consequence of the conditions, or it's the quickest time ever that a new initiative by Cummins has been dropped by the refs. Perhaps the coaches complained midweek after MM, that the ruck speed was far to quick? Either way it was slower for tonight's match and as a consequence it was a better game IMO.

I was thinking the same, and that applied to Friday's game as well. Let's wait and see how Mr Bentham applies it tomorrow...

Any thoughts on crabtrees kick out during the tackle i would hope the rfl will look at it a few inches lower and it would have been real serious

Crabtree was out of order and should be hauled over the coals for that kick out .IMO there was intent written all over it.

Didn't Sam get pulled up in front of the RFL for the same thing a while ago ?.

agreed. Match bans in order i think. Very dangerous

Has the jon wilkin thing of last week now drawn more attention to fans and players looking at every tackle now?

Maybe the RFL should make Crabtree explain it to the TV cameras..............That voice is just comedy genius

Just before he goes on trv you need eddie saying "you know hes the nephew of big daddy'

Somebody today was put on report for applying pressure to the head, who was it?

We had enough points to win the league

Think it was their #8, but not 100% certain.

If it's 8 it would be Scruton

Looks as though O'Donnel and Crabtree haven't been cited, and neither has Scruton. Very consistent and fair.

It was Ian Sibbitt from Bradford, and he recieved a caution

Jake Webster and Julien Rinaldi were the only players to get cited over the weekend, both for making dangerous contact. Crabtree also got a caution for kicking out. Guess we'll have to wait until someone else gets picked up for a chicken wing tackle and see what the punishment is then before we can continue the consistent and fair debate

Perhaps had they done the same thing twice someone might have noticed
