Penalty count has nothing to do with it. It's missed penalties not given, and non-penaltys given as penaltys that count. Hypothetically, if the penalty count should really have been 30-5, does that not state that the penalty count, although lop-sided, was not indicative of the game? I'm not saying that 30-5 should have been the count, just using it as an example - that's what "hypothetically" means





Should have been sent off, not binned - that was the error. He wasn't even binned. As for the offside, it was on the goal line during a period of heavy pressure. If they'd scored, it could have changed the complexion, and maybe the outcome, of the game. Should have been a sin bin for Peacock for the offside as well, after about 4 or 5 persistent penalties in a row.



Except it wasn't an elbow, and it wasn't initial contact into the face. The disciplinary looked at it and deemed penalty sufficient. That says to me that the ref got it right on the night.

On the other hand, they've called McGuire up, with a charge carrying a penalty of 1-2 games, suggesting that the ref got it badly wrong on the night.

Does that address the issues well enough for you?

Whilst this desciptin of events could well be true and paints a different scene than the one of Wane jumping on the microphone to demand his opposition players are banned, don't we remeber the day when a coach would have said something like
"We're concentrating on our own game, not on Danny McGuire."
?

"I dont think Danny should have faced any games - just like Micky shouldnt have faced any games. But once The RFL have gone down that avenue like with Micky, they have set a precedent."

He remains firmly on-message, in that the myth being peddled is that both players committed identical offences, when any fair-minded and vaguely sentient person can see that they didn't.

Hey ho - to use a few Stevoisms, it should be a 'humdinger' or indeed, a 'wow of a game.'

What myth? All that's being said is that neither player should have faced a ban, there's no hint of the same or even similar offences.

Just like the myth's that can be read in the last week about Wigan, on this very page there's the myth of Sean O' not tackling below the neck for example.

Can Burrow actually play the ball without crawling forward out of the tackle?

i hope the wait was worth it.
