I dont think Fafita has ever looked match fit and always looks like he's carrying extra weight, didnt stop him doing 80 mins last year. First proper game back for probably 12 months so bound to be rusty.

Fifita!

Isn’t that the fella at Brisbane?

He didn’t have his usual flare today however he didn’t play poorly.

Thought he looked - and did - OK.
It's a pity to say how long he's been with us that people still can't spell his name right.....

Think fifita suffers somewhat from his standing starts ,so is mobbed before he’s even got into his stride .Likes been said early days not just for dave but the whole team ,and all need to step up for next week and the saints .

see Burgess has been banned one game, from the crusher on DF that Thaler & VR saw no issue with - play on!!
A penalty then would have been nice

And nothing for Hardakers dangerous throw on TJ.

No benefit to us.

Give over. I don’t like Hardaker but if that was a dangerous throw we may as well pack in. It’s a tough game and TJ knows he’s going to be targeted. He landed bad that’s all. Josh Wood put in a few very similar tackles, don’t hear you moaning about him.

I agree in that I thought Fifita did fine. Not sure who this Fafita bloke is though

Hardaker made a robust tackle that's all.

The spelling has finally got to me. I have to change the title.

Well that's ok then, if TJ knows he's going to be targeted then we can let the RFL know not to bother reviewing any other challenges that may happen throughout the season.

He landed badly due to the way Hardaker tried to rag doll him, something the sky commentary touched on whilst TJ was down. I’d love to know why you think you know more than a top ex players and experienced commentators, I mean exactly what are you qualifications? I’ll take the sky commentary teams opinions overs yours every day of the week.

I truly despair when I read the drivel people like you put. You base all this on one tackle, truly pathetic. Still I expect that if Hardaker was/is charged it you’ll come crawling back on here with ‘I’m the first to admit’ statement.

You are correct in what you say, apart from the fact that rag dolling someone isn't illegal.

The first tackle which caused the injury was robust if a little over zealous, but a tackle none the less, the second there was a hint of a headshot for me. Clearly Johnstone is seen as a danger man and Hardaker was letting him know he's in for a rough game. Credit to the lad for carrying on, hopefully not to the detriment of the rest of his season.

I thought Dave went well for us
His first game in 2020 too

I maybe wrong but I thought Dave played in the Bradford game.

Well that’s not going to happen because as ever you’re wrong.

As Klav says if anything the second tackle was more dubious however it’s almost impossible to prove a player is targeting an injury.

Trinity have a poorish disciplinary record So are you suggesting some of our players don’t push the rules to the limit? Certainly never heard you moan about it.

Do you want to watch Rugby or are you like those dreadful bores who find continuity errors in films.

You're wrong, I'm right. That's how it'll always be Fishy.

Unless something was ridiculous and worth mentioning, why the hell why I spend time discussing that. I want to discuss things that should benefit our club and both of Hardaker's tackles resulted in TJ coming off badly and IMO he needs punishing for it.

He did mate, you're right.

Here we go, dredders can’t make his point so starts nonsense calling and getting all emotional.

If you want to think that was a dangerous tackle then do so but remember this. There were at least a 1000 tackles made in SL over the last week and if that were a dangerous throw as you call it then prepare for a long wait before you get the results. Be about 20 years before they are able to get back to you. Still egg you should have a better understanding of the game by then.

Cut it out please. You are both well off topic and the snippy comments are unnecessary.

Did anyone notice Sam Powell 3rd man into the tackle with a shoulder charge to pop the ball out in the first half Is the shoulder charge allowed?

Depending who the referee is, like so many other inconsistencies.

No you are right he did play against Bradford

I’ll change that to first sl Dane of 2020 lol
