Another decent attendance posted for a season open.

A good start by all so far

Good. Looks like the folks at Red Hall saw Tony's interview in the WG.

I would really like to see Bennys 'head tackle' again.
At the time I thought it was a certain red card, when the Ref only gave Benny a yellow then I thought a ban would follow.

Did the panel manage to miss Hauraki's shoulder charge to O'Brien's head ?

Penalty sufficient. Committed to making tackle by making a wrapping motion.......whatever that means.

I was really worried when Benny made that tackle , as it looked pretty bad. Think it was a good job that it didn't all kick off and Benny seemed to stick his hands up which helped situation . Good decision by ref and red hall.
