I don`t think Handley gets past the full back as he looks to have it covered.
If he passes to Austin he too is already closed down.
The two biggest errors ironically coming from our best 2 players on the night was Smith not finding one of what 3 Leeds players supporting the break and Macdonald trying to pass when the Hull players were all over him which eventually resulted in the winning try.

Yeah Smith messed that up imo he should have taken the tackle id have hull odds on to make a professional foul holding him down.

He was probably our MOM though and he played most of the game second row. I can see Smith starting him there on Friday if Bentley isn’t fit

We’ll take 500 tops, we never seem to travel to Saints im great numbers - im 50/50 whether to go

Welsby should be out against us, but he won’t

You’ll go. You fly the beacon for us all! We’ll be with you in spirit ….

I didn’t think it was that bad, but if we’re still on the clamp down it should be a couple of games. As you say, it won’t be.

Both feet off the ground clear red card

No prob with no red providing that bar is set consistently.

The problem is it didn’t get a card at all so as you say, bar is set

I’ve just been speaking with a Saints fan who thinks because the penalty try was given instead of a card that Welsby won’t get called up. Reckons he can’t be banned! Some mob then lot

He could be called up before the beak. I've no problem if he isn't, as long as that benchmark is applied throughout the season. However, experience would suggest that it won't be. That's where I have a real problem with the MRP.

Consistency is the key. I really don’t think it was more than a penalty…but I also think positions and reputations play into it a bit, if it’s a back row coming across in cover like that and coming up with that tackle I think they get a card and a minimum of 1 game. Likewise if it’s someone like Bentley or Edwards or even Bell or Matautia (Sione or Peter).

I’m not saying anyone is cheating or whatever but I do think there’s some unconscious bias.

Like others have said mate, consistency is what we all want.

I’ve no problem if he’s not banned, but we all know it won’t be the same every week. I am however struggling to remember 5 worse tackles than that one.

He wasn’t falling and wellsby had both feet off the ground and hit him directly on the head.
