Agree with most of that but I'm not sure about the "retribution tackle." I didn't get that impression at all. Unless I'm thinking of the wrong tackle, I assumed he was being done for the one in the second half that Catalans kicked to go 14-14.

To be fair Tag did seem to be "on a mission" following Moa's late hit on Gaz Ellis.

You're probably right, I was thinking he flew in on Moa, but thinking again that one missed and it was Houghton's (legitimate) tackle that did for Moa. Taylor just seemed to be on one for most of the game.

Taylor (and Watts) both off to Red Hall tonight to get it sorted.

If either gets a ban will depend on the current flavour of the month interpretation of the rules. If it was not for the injury I would say Taylor's shoulder charge was worse than Moa's. Both tackles a little late but Moa did wrap his arm around Ellis, something that Taylor did not do. With Watts I think it was a lack of communication/understanding between tacklers rather than anything premeditated or malicious. Would not be surprised to see both get a ban but would be surprised if Watts got more that 1-2 games.

Right outcome. Nothing wrong with moa's hit on ellis

watts will get 3 games and taylor 1 I think

Scott Taylor pleads not guilty and is found not guilty of a Grade B charge of Other Contrary Behaviour.

Great news!!

Watts banned for 4 games and fined £300. A chance for one of the young lads to stake a claim.

4 games. That seems quite harsh. Especially as he pleaded guilty.

Watts gets 4 matches. A bit on the harsh side imo but those tackles do need stamping out. Taylor getting nothing is good news though. I think I prefer this outcome to 3 and 1 which I'd what I thought might happen.

And was sinbinned for it.

Great news about Taylor, thought and a great chance for Masi or Turgut.

No problem with him getting a four match ban as long as the RL are consistent with their bans.If everybody was treated the same there would be no problems,but the RL seem to have different bans for different players and different clubs

Great news about Taylor, was fearing 2 games tbh. Did he have an EGP?

I believe he did but they chose not to use it and plead not guilty

Smart. Did Watts have one?

It said EGP not available. Not sure if that was due to him or due to the grading, if you get what I mean.

I don't think you can use an EGP above a certain grading.

Think Watts used it last year.

It's no EGP for grade D and above.

You are right, but he did use his last year, do won't be able to use it in the near future.

You're right - here's the jargon....
