The only thing Patterson had today was permission from Silverwood to act like an A-hole without repercussion. I spotted at least 2 shoulder charges that were not even pulled up for a penalty and he was always niggling in the tackle but that's what happens when you are coached by Harris who has watched Wane's sheeeeitehouse tactics for the last few years.

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.
