Last week against London Ali got dropped on his head in a tackle that was as dangerous if not worse than that of Poores. London player got put on report and picked up a ban, maybe its a standard way refs deal with it.

If you found that challenge so offensive, I suggest you go and watch wendyball



There have been so many worse challenges this season that haven’t even warranted a penalty let alone a sending off.

Last week against London Ali got dropped on his head in a tackle that was as dangerous if not worse than that of Poores. London player got put on report and picked up a ban, maybe its a standard way refs deal with it.

Maybe it's just another crazy rule that the video referee can't have a say on?

Similar to him not being able to call a forward pass.....like the one that was given to Ellis when he knocked on....that was eventually called as a try....

I can understand if they are marginal.....or flat passes.....but if you asked 10,000 RL fans if that pass was forward, then surely all 10,000 would say it was......so why can't a video referee?

Someone needs to clear up if Ali got dropped on his head against London

I heard it got put on report or something?

Think I got my point across computer playing games tonight.

Ali definitely got dropped on his head against London in what was a very poor tackle! Think the lad got a one game ban which was probably about right as injury was avoided.....with Ali being a big fella though it did look probably worse than it was..

With Poore's effort tonight, I actually think it was a worse tackle as there was a bit more aggression in it....having said that, Aiton kind of softened the blow a little and probably aided Poore in getting off with it. If there's any consistency at all in what I've seen lately he will cop a one match ban which is probably about right...

Unfortunately for Justin he's now a 'marked' man and needs to clean up his act or he is going to undo the good work he does in giving us go forward....

would that be the pass where sykes slipped his fingers in to knock the ball loose?

No, the pass from acting half back....to Ellis, that was clearly a yard or two forward....

you maybe right, but roby was guilty of missing many things, like a blatent obstruction by smith that went unpunished 10 metres from the fc line
