Score line just about right. Lewis looks like he is going to be out for a while.

Oli Pratt looks a good player.

I notice a goal kick won the game for Rovers..

Anyone know why Lewis and Minchella did not receive a green card but a Wakefield player did.

[quote="karetaker":1vo1iwcr]Anyone know why Lewis and Minchella did not receive a green card but a Wakefield player did.[/quote:1vo1iwcr] Green card use is for when a referee thinks a player is trying to gain an advantage by claiming an injury when it isn't the case. I believe in the incident last night the referee believed the Wakey player was feigning injury, where as with Minchella and (certainly Lewis) the referee felt there was a genuine injury / cause for the delay. Normally green card use was related to - or should have related to - feigning / exaggerating injury to slow the game down. Classic case being a defender going down injured when the opposition had just forced a drop out. I'm not sure if there was a directive this year to use it for players claiming to be injured by marginal head contact to try and get a penalty / card from the official. Clearly last night Lewis did have an injury, can't remember the Minchella one, was it a crusher?

2 mins in and Salford in front, could wipe out that 82 point deficit

Never mind Leeds in front now.

Croft was out before he hit the floor, it was purely accidental.

Honestly think that is harsh.

Vaughan's red card & 4 match ban was even harsher.

[quote="ninearches":1hzo2la1]Vaughan's red card & 4 match ban was even harsher.[/quote:1hzo2la1] Well we all know that one. Meanwhile Redvee think it should have been a red. Just had a look back at it and I honestly can’t see how it was anything other than accidental. Maybe I need a few more looks at it.

And there it is the first successful captain’s challenge

Happy to say I’m glad Salford are getting stuffed here.

[quote="karetaker":2excmt64]Happy to say I’m glad Salford are getting stuffed here.[/quote:2excmt64] Just desserts for embarrassing the game last week.

Just a thought on this captain's challenge nonsense . Does it also cover the aspect of forward passes which are not examined in VR decisions at present ?

Watching Saints and listening to Stuart Pyke not the best combo in the world.

Really not a fan of this short drop out nonsense, just cost Cas a try. No idea but my guess would be the odds are you will lose more of them than you win.

Can't find where to watch the match on the sky sports site, it's not listed among the programmes showing now? Nevermind, found it on the app.

[quote="ninearches":2qlpw2d6]Is the short drop out compulsory now or can you still boot it up field ?[/quote:2qlpw2d6] You still boot up the field but since it’s not a penalty if it does not travel the 10 just an handover, I guess that’s why they do it now.

Meh, Stuart Pyke commentating and saints winning, think I'll stick Netflix on instead!

[quote="ninearches":3g4upb2l]Is the short drop out compulsory now or can you still boot it up field ?[/quote:3g4upb2l] Drop Out ... It was bound to happen as soon as the law changed. Just the same in Oz. Challenge ... We used ours well v. Cats as it gave us a nice little rest when we were under the pump.
