"Bang On Mark"!

Absolutely abysmal decision. I really do think that the RFL is no longer fit for purpose.

Go through the records of sending-offs and subsequent bans for shoulder charges over the last couple of years and there isn't one as bad as this and some were seriously just plain soft (I seem to recall Saints got stitched-up with a couple at Hull KR).

Basically in rugby ,apart from thinking, the head & neck play no part in the game so any contact whatsoever with either should be outlawed . There really is no need to tackle any higher than just above elbow height & anything else should be treated as foul play. In the wider interests of the game players need to be protected from injury ,protected from cheap thuggery & then we may see a bit more skill having to be used to win games.

Perhaps now is the time for the RFL to consider making head gear mandatory? I don't mean NFL style helmets but the kind of protection Chris Hill wears. I know some players don't like wearing them but player safety has to be no.1 priority. If I was TS and Warrington I'd be telling my players to get used to it, because if the RL and the refs can't protect the players, the club should.

Some players in our game are too brave for their own good, and we are approaching the day where a player is seriously, seriously injured on a pitch in the name of entertainment.

A Headguard wouldn't have protected Matt Russell, he got the sharp end of a shoulder fair and square in the mush.

Head gear would certainly have got us another season out of M.Monas

Cahill had some 'daft-looking' protective equipment shoved down the back of his shirt which a number of us in the East were "commenting" on when he first stood on the line in the first half. But obviously, this kind of protection is required with the kind of injuries that players are increasingly suffering from.

Good news about Bridge, but agree he should be rested for Cas if not strictly 100%. When's Ben Westwood back?

Can we rest Bridge?

Unless Russell is somehow allowed to play, we need Ratch at FB so Atkins and Bridge in the Centres?

Move Joel into centres and play Ormsby if necessary.

he'd be up against carney

Carney would rip Ormsby to shreds, he is still learning his trade. play Bridge and Joel!
