Yes, he did, but Prior still led with his head.

Christ get on with game no need for the acting it's creeping more and more in our game..if that's what you wanna watch stick to premiership footy not our game..and remember Tomkin's invented the art art of trapping a players arm in the tackle and playing for a penalty..he's nothing more than a cheat

Doesn't deserve a ban



are you stark raving barmy?

It was a headbutt and nothing less.

Both will be in our 17 for sure and will improve on what we have this year massively. Simple as that.

They played with intent and aggression. Looking forward to seeing them in the PnB.

100% mate.

You may have spent too much time on Redvee. There is NO conspiracy against us.

That's one hell of a stretch.

The RFL is insufficiently organised to maintain a conspiracy.

Never watched a game of premiership footy in my life, nor do I watch it on TV, so I can`t debate that sport with you.

I am not a fan of Tomkins and do not approve of his antics.

Gamesmanship has been in RL for many years, and isn`t a new innovation.

In the time that I have watched the sport I have seen lots of examples of it, ( Including dives by Wire players)

Take a look at the Incident with Syd Hynes and Alex Murphy at Wembley 1971, for an example, which is more than 50 years ago.

I'm happy with these two signings. Although catalans have got a bloody good replacement in Taukeaiho.

Maybe the plan is to sign him when he's 33 to replace the players we have just signed. KFP is a genius.

KFP is a………. Be a good game of Blankety Blank that would.

As long as we go down fighting again, that’ll do me

3 match ban for Dudson. Nothing for Kasiano.

Great start for the new season, he misses 10% of it before we kick a ball.

If Wales select him in their World cup squad he would be available for the start of the year...

If that isn't possible, can't friendly games be used to count against it? Sure that happened start of this year to someone.

I wouldn't be surprised if our new superstars spend a fair bit of time on the naughty step. Should be plenty of chances for the young lads to shine next season.

I think only one friendly counts. Wales could pick him, I suppose, but would he even play a game?

He would definitely feature in the Wales team, if it was based on players available from Super League and Championship teams, but there could be NRL based players who will be available because of their Welsh origin?

No, I meant if he had a 3 match ban
.

There are 3 games in the group stage, so they would be selecting him to play in the Qtr finals onwards.

....although if Wales have a friendly warm up game that too could count, so he would only miss 2 group games?

Do you think Wales are going to finish above PNG and Tonga?

Given PNG put 50 on them at the last World Cup, doubtful unless they find some NRL players with Welsh ancestry!!

Be awfully nice of them to include him in the squad though!

He could be back for their last game vs PNG if he can count a pre World Cup friendly in his ban, might be worth their while.

As I said back in September .

It looks like these are the two Powell wanted to drop but can’t.
Big lumps can win games . Big useless lumps can’t

Powell should be sacked , if only for signing these two
