| not literally, of course.
J Tomkins on McGuire. I'm sorry, but should have been a straight red.
Ablett on S Tomkins in the game at HQ-straight red, easy.
Bailey should have gone for 10 2 weeks ago after the altercation with Radford.
There seems to be a great reluctance to get cards out, despite players repeatedly committing the offences.
So a congratulations to Mr Ian Smith for sending Radford off in what was a textbook red card offence.

Sin-bin would of sufficed.

Perhaps, it was a clumsy challenge.

Definitely agree with that. His job was done and the subsequent song and dance routine deserved a sit down for 10 minutes.

The modern game is sickeningly clean so sending players off should be the option of absolute last resort, except in the rare extreme case where there is no doubting the severity of an offence.
Would you rather:
A) A player left on the field, put on report, later found guilty and banned.
or
B) A player sent off and found not guilty by the disciplinary committee.
It was the frequency of case B's that caused the RFL to bring in the on report system in the first place.

Yes definately let you lot off the hook as usual, do you lot own Red Hall too?
Buderus should be banned and Mcguire should be too for his proffesional foul at Wigan. maybe he got his comeuppance after all.

| II believe we'll see a penalty over the weekend awarded to the defending team with the ball carrier deliberately locking a tacklers arm, to prevent a release, hopefully against the cheat that is Tomkins.
Barry Mac even referred to during last nights games, and it won't have gone unnoticed at RFL HQ

More of the usual bollox from a "fan" of a tin pot club your lucky Leuaki hasn't been banned more this year for dangerous throws of course people like Brent Webb are his size the big pudding.
What was the label you gave some of your signings?
Oh yes the "Tongan Mafia"

I'll take this as you been upset your out of the play offs. But reading between the lines you are suggesting McGuire deserved to get injured for what he did, bravo

| Well there was a female touch judge for the U20s match prior to the Catalan game the other week.

I will hold my hand up and say I am very guilty of this, but its for a reason.
We are not in the 60's and 70's where 'Biff' was seen not just as a part of the game but actually desired by many. Like everything else, RL has moved on. The game is quicker, far more about skill than Biff (though force is still important). The modern day fan would prefer to see a 'relatively' clean game that show cased the players skills. Seeing someone like Radford, for example, standing over a downed player and thumping him in the head is the mark of a moron and should not have a place in the modern game.
So you say these conversations are getting boring. Maybe, but until the RFL start taking appropriate action to stamp out this behaviour (though it will never totally go) these threads will always appear - and rightly so.

Always a delight to hear from a true fan of the 'game'. We do so love to see RL players getting serious injuries.
Eejit.

I can only assume you never saw the game and how it was played in the 60's and 70's, if you did I'm surprised you're making such clueless remarks.
Yes the game was tough and physical and a little underhand back then but skillwise it was in a completely different league to the robots marching up and down the field that characterises the modern game.

Great example. What makes you think that had a place in the game in the 60's and 70's either. It didn't just as it doesn't today which might explain why Jim Mills and John Burke got sent off around 18 times each in their careers and Lee Radford got sent off in Round 27.

With all due respect, b*llocks.
There's possible an argument for half-backs being more creative in that era than they are now (albeit their cause was helped by the fact that the defensive line speed and organisation was so poor in the semi-pro days), but are you seriously trying to tell me that the likes of Graham Eccles were more skilful ball in hand than their modern day equivalents (JJB, Lauitiiiti)?

| I'd say today's 2nd rowers are, in general, more skilled. The argument's closer if you apply it to loose forwards.
