| Why should it be an 8 point try, it wasnt his knees it wasnt a foot he actually fell over him..
You could ask why millington was not yellow carded for his "tackle" as 3rd man on connor!

| At least he has made an effort to stay out of the poop, think jenna was trying to goad him into making daft comment though, bit harsh.

Yeah, it was 8-0 at HT.

He has plenty of time to either attempt a legitimate tackle with his upper body or pull out altogether. He does neither and just piles into him with his knees/legs. Should have been an 8 point try. Agree regarding Millington.

| Do I agree with Powell’s criticisms of officials? Absolutely. The facts speak for themselves - offences committed against Cas have incurred bans totalling 19 games since the lockdown. Every time, the on-field officials and off-field officials have decided that these offences haven’t warranted red cards.
But should Powell have said it? Probably not. I think he’s given the players an easy excuse for poor discipline. Last night, I thought the players had a sense of ‘victim mentality’ and rather than blame themselves for obvious penalties, decided that it was the referee’s fault. Not helped by the fact they can hear Powell complaining about every penalty, rather than holding the players responsible for their indiscipline.
Do I think it’s time for Powell to move on? Absolutely not. I remember what it was like before he transformed the club into one cup finalists and grand finalists, and regularly finishing in the play-offs. We haven’t won one, but at least we’ve given ourselves a chance, even on a budget that can’t accommodate marquee players. I’m happy to write this season off given the circumstances, and am still optimistic for 2021.
