I saw KY come on in the 1st half but not the 2nd & didn't notice him again ? Was he injured ? I did however notice him celebrating after, does anyone know differently ?

Yeah, we noticed that and were wondering the same ??

Presumed he got injured but didn't see anything obvious afterwards.

He was limping badly just before he went off, looked like he tried to run it off but never came back on

I do hope this guy is OK

That’s why I thought he was having a quiet game

We watched the game over again last night and Rodwell seemed to pick up a knock in a tackle about 5 minutes before half time as he was limping then. He did start the second half but after only a minute or two he put his hand up towards the bench and was then replaced almost straight away...hope it's nothing serious

On the stats he did 17 minutes

He’s not on the team sheet for Widnes, so he picked up something. Probably just a precaution, but Bain is an adequate replacement with a point to prove

Bain Is not an adequate replacement for rodwell.i like bain energy and attitude but he doesnt offer as much as ky..look atvthe stats from dewsbury game and you will see what i mean

Bain is more of a LF who can play prop imo. They are different players and Bain has better hands I’d say. We don’t need to compare them against each other though. They can both offer positive contributions in their own right.

I agree. They are just different players.

Listening on the radio it sounded like Bain went well today (and was robbed of a try by Mickeymouseless which led to his sin-binning !!)
Was that the case ??

Rodwell out for 3-4 weeks according to DP

We play in toulouse in just under 5 weeks hope he's back and ready for that

Yes powered his way over much like Atoni’s try ,only to have it scratched off , kicked the ball away and got 10 mins for his petulance . It was at the end with no fans in Fil so not obvious to us , but radio stated it was a well taken try , so no idea why it wasn’t given

awful decision clear try and then to get binned for kicking ball away ! He didn’t get anywhere to making contact with ball unless he has reflexes of the flash.

Interestingly rodwells agent was in crowd and I had quite a long conversation with him over course of game.

He did confirm that we were in the market for two more Aussies , that vafana is exempt from the quota. He also let slip that one of the players we were looking at was a back row .

Don’t think he said anything that we didn’t know but interesting all the same

I thought he got binned for having a go at the ref.

Probably telling the ref he didn’t kick the ball away and it was a try but it’s really shocking if lads got binned for scoring a try.

He clearly didn't get binned for scoring a try.

Regardless of whether the try is good or not he needs to learn to control his emotions about it. It's only going one way if you start reacting to it.

He didn’t get binned for his reaction though it appears. Powell said he scored a try and ref thought Bain had kicked it away so binned him. That came from Powell not me.

Had the try been given (which Powell said he believed was a try) then would Bain have got binned?

If it transpires he didn’t score the try and did kick the ball etc and got binned or got binned for appealing to the ref then that’s fine but from the post match interview it doesn’t appear to be the case.

I do have one other issue… if Bain did appeal to the ref then why was he instantly binned. Take Momorovski in the Leeds game who swore at the ref and argued not once but a few times with the ref and still didn’t get binned. It’s not very consistent at all.

Maybe this wouldn’t be an issue if there were in goal judges though. I believe there was another try Whitehaven scored which was given as held up but pictures circulating looks like a try. It’s not great really.

Agree about controlling emotions but it was also a crucial score in a tight game too and it’s hard to do if a player feels very strongly he’s scored. Hopefully all this won’t be an issue if we are back in SL and games are televised. How many times in a game do we see players run to ref and appeal for things including try’s or that a players held up.

Kicking the ball away in frustration IS a reaction.
I'm not saying it's a good decision but why give then an excuse.

But that’s my point Powell said in his interview he didn’t kick the ball away.

And how many player throw the ball into the crowd or kick the ball into the crowd after scoring a try to celebrate (which he thought).

Will be interesting to see on the game replay.

It can't be both. He either did it or not.

I never said it was both. That’s not possible.

Powell said he didn’t kick the ball. I didn’t see him kick a ball live either and I am interested to see the game back to see what happened more out of curiosity. Luckily it wasn’t costly.
