Think he is back, although not 100% yet.

Ah, thanks. I must have missed that story.

We missed Houghtons defence and work rate but we looked a lot sharper at ptb with Brown and Balmforth..maybe a case of Brown at 13 when houghton back

I know in a previous post I called Lane gash but I’d have him over Okunbor,who is looking a awful signing.

Disagree on Lane, misses too many tackles, gives away too many penalties and isn't strong enough to break the line...when was the last time you came away from a game thinking lane was outstanding?

I agree with what you say but with us not recruiting 2nd rowers we are a bit stuck with him and I’d have him over Okunbar tbh but Staveleys performance may force Lane out or to up his game

Now I have calmed down after the card fiasco….did Warrington really hurt us…2 late blow out try’s and 2 from dummy half we preventable but did they really threaten us….when we had our good spell,we looked more dangerous with ball.Scoreline hugely flatters them imo.

Think it will also make it harder to sign overseas players?

Who in their right mind would want to come and play in this competition?

Both haven't been great, Okunbor gets a bit of the benefit of the doubt as its only two games, the rest of the team have been dreadful and down a man for about 50% of matches. Can't remember Lane's last good game.

But both will be in the 17, not really bothered which one starts or is bemched TBF.

Game was pretty even until the sending off and we should have had a penalty try.

Still think they would have edged it, but would have been a much tighter affair had we had those two decisions in our favour.

Got in at 1 last night, unfortunately that will be my last trip over the pennines this season. Game is a joke atm and fans are paying good money and it's being ruined by over zealous officiating.

Do some officials have agendas against clubs/players? Watts for example

When the VR went to look at Sutcliffes no try, we said its a penalty to us at the least, yet Thewlis get a penalty try nowhere near the tryline!

Perfectly put

Hes shown some restraint with that post and put it an awful lot nicer than a lot of others would.

Fair point and tbh,we shouldn’t have been down to 12 men last night…I’ve been going/watching for 49 yrs and that was the worst red card I have seen and no difference between the pen try and suttys effort

A fair few high profile players from SL commenting that something needs to change.

RFL will double down IMO - 4-6 matches apparently.

It'll be even worse if he gets a ban. A red card is an extreme punishment. Think Jon Wilkin summed it up well after the match with his penalty, yellow/red card debate

Doesn't help us short term, but last night might really be good for the game long term.

Saying that, reading Whitings post about insurance, I'm not sure things can change that much.

Something has to give or players and fans will walk away from the game.

Just read Barron tweaked his hamstring which is why he came off.

Next year will be a car crash if the law changes go ahead.

If the insurance thing is correct then who’s insuring the WCC with the relaxed rules?
