What an absolute joke. Yet Thewlis makes direct contact with the head to stop that try and it's missed by both the ref and video ref.

There have been a couple of significant shocking decisions against hull.

If the Ashton one is a penalty try then the sutcliffe one is too.

For the record, I don’t have too many issues with the head high tackle rules but that is an absolute joke.

That’s the worst decision I’ve seen since….last week.
What is this game coming to. My word I’m even agreeing with Jon Wilkin.
Although Dereks comment about a breakaway league was seen by me , and I’m a Leigh Fan, as pie in the sky , the longer this shambles continues then bizarrely there maybe some mileage in it.

I hope messrs Goulding and Fozzard are happy with the mess they’ve created.

They're murdering the game before our very eyes.

The game has gone soft. Common sense should be used, just wondering if there's no blood it would have been most likely been missed...

Why wasn’t currie sent off for smashing his head into the defenders head? Why is it the defenders fault?

Minority game ran by amateurs

Dread to think what the sport will look like in the UK going forward. This quest to make the game completely soft is going to kill it.

Rugby League is a tough sport but the huge collisions And physicality is what makes it great. This current mission to strip rugby league of the above is madness. The sport is not made for certain kids and that's fine. Some kids won't want to play league and the sport should be happy to accept kids who want to play all end up knowing all the risks the sport brings in the amateur and professional levels. Players don't agree with this utter stupidity we are seeing.

There are very similar issues in Union, it's not just League.

The new rules next year especially will just swap one type of concussion for another, more of this ...https://youtu.be/BfPSbq9CnrY?si=Yn1ONA1xVHtdAukl

They seem to be using the words mitigating circumstances a lot at the moment. Surely accidental contact due to the momentum one the player ie player not in total control of a tackle that combines multiple peoples momentum, is that not a mitigating circumstance. In a tough game foul play intentional attempts to injury or hurt cannot be tolerated but the physical nature of the game means accidents and unfortunate injuries will occur.
Initially think the protocol needs to change to initially a yellow card being given with the option of increasing to a red card after further video review that takes place within the 10min period would be better that the initial straight red if there is uncertainty. Red card in Wire v Hull game effectively ruined a closely contested game. How many times will this happen this season?

Doesn't concern me one bit as don't watch it. Secondly you must agree that with what we are seeing its a worry for how the elite level of rugby league in the UK will look in the future. Fans don't want to watch a sport they love have so much stripped away.

Thirdly I can't wait to see the mess this whole thing causes when it comes to firstly the real important games in super league. When a game is killed as a spectacle for the broadcaster and viewers because of this stupidity wait till you see that backlash. Then there is the mess of how international games are refereed. Guessing it will be back to normality for internationals which makes a complete mockery of what the RFL are doing. I guarantee the stupidity around contact with head with the new rules is ignored tonight for WCC. As fans we should be praying for that.

Nah that's what Wilkin was arguing for and I don't agree with it. A yellow will still see teams punished for incidents that don't warrant anything near a sin bin. Not every contact with head deserves these extreme punishments. It won't stop it either. There will be a week where we will see a silly amount of players being sin binned.

Judging by the abysmal refereeing of this game, I would say not so much missed by the officials but totally ignored. The pair of them were an utter disgrace and completely ruined what was becoming a good contest.

No charge for Brown, and the framework on head to head contact amended. Fair play.
