I have no issue with Ben being sent off or the punishment that he will receive, he is not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy.
I do however, have 2 gripes:
1. Fifita trundled 10 yards to instigate that fight, and should be punished for his part in the fray.
2. Ben did not hit him hard enough. If you are going to throw a punch, make sure it is a haymaker.

Just a touch of bias in some of the comments but Reynolds got what he deserved, he has a good disciplinary record so should only get 1/2 games, the yellow card was harsh but there will be no further action.

Impressive kicking from Hardaker shouldn’t be ignored.

My post are not to justify or defend Ben. Ben also came into the tackle with a flop which was not necessary, hence Fatfita's reaction.

Agreed.

Was Ben at Wakey with Fifita, maybe there is previous beef but as has been noted before, our players that played for Yorkshire teams (even if they are from there) know the Yorks/Lancs rivalry and play up to it too.

I left wonder if, you watch the highlights, the first try of Lam's, Fifita puts a shoulder shot on Asiata which the ref calls as a penalty but for the try, perhaps Ben serving up some desserts. Again not that this is justification.

Oh, to nil them would see us 3rd. Still, a good performance overall considering everything.

Wrong.

We're "backrowlite" as we await news on Kai so Tom's silly (Bongser is with Reffy on this) punishment is a blow. Better than feared for Ben though. Still, a resurgent FC become more of a challenge on Friday.

How far is the missing Jack Hughes from return?
