Barlow was outstanding. Leave it alone.

Clearly something i hadnt thought about and i hold my hands up, i mean i personally felt he should have been sent of or at least put on report but than again its down to the ref isnt it and thankfully the bulls player wasnt hurt and the rest of us got to watch a decent game of rugby league despite it been error strewn

Thought the RFL review all matches, regardless of anyone being cited or being put on report?

All games have to be taped and watched by the review panel hence how Sam has been cited by the RFL

Not sure this is the same Sam Barlow. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJsdRRMUyOA

Pretty peeved with this. Despite Sam's tackle being bad, Mr.Bentham obviously used his common sense and put it down to over-exuberance in the first minute of a big game. He also probably took into consideration the fact that a red card at that stage would have ruined the game as a spectacle.
Got to ask why Hicks red-carded Dane Manning for an offence that looked nothing more than innocuous to those who saw it. Also got to question the timing of the red card in the context of the match, and the fact that a player was dismissed for the first piece of 'foul' play in the entire match. When do we EVER see players dismissed for high tackles these days anyway??!! Normally its nothing more severe than an 'on report' verdict against the culprit. I afraid that it all smacks of something rather sinister to me.
That Manning is not even facing a charge or ban for his tackle is a real a kick in the teeth for Batley fans and especially our playing staff.
