could we borrow Leeds' appeals guy instead?

Well it didn't count against Bentley and one or two others.

Are these kind of decisions being made in the NRL?

I just think the whole thing is very harsh. I get the reasoning, direct contact with shoulder to head.

I think context has to be taken into account though. Singleton was going in to make a tackle, field gets there first and the Sironen’s position then changes, he starts to go down. Singleton can’t pull out or adjust quickly enough and makes contact. Without Field’s involvement it’s a good tackle. That been seems to have been ignored.

Same as Lees last week against Catalans, nothing he could do after Walmsley got there first and quite rightly it got overturned, damned if I can see a difference, the fact no Saints player batted an eyelid at the tackle speaks volumes

You're genuinely saying you can't see a difference between Singleton's tackle and Lees's tackle last week?

I'm saying Singleton couldn't do anything about it, contact with the head absolutely, a card fair enough, but a 3 game ban on top is ridiculous

I hope the players lying down holding their heads/necks and the referees and disciplinary officials are watching Origin.
