Unfortunately Fielden has previous for raising the knee. He is not on his own though both Peacock and Smith did it for Leeds v Manly.

Slightly off topic, but I've just watched Saturdays game again.

The two penalties given against Fielden in the first half were completely wrong.
He was penalised for holding down at the play the ball.

In both instances the Harlequins player crawls or rolls forward after the tackle is complete, so that as Fielden gets up it looks as though he is preventing him from playing the ball.

That seemed to be something Quins tried a lot in the game.

The ref imo could have penalised the Quins player for moving forward rather than Fielden.

Disagree. Fielden and O Loughlin both need to stop messing at the play of the ball. We were lucky that the French referee was more lenient than other SL referees.

Corrected for accuracy.

I sat through a 2 hour coaching session by listening in to the referees for that match.

He was constantly being corrected (including his tackle count - 3 times)

I'm sorry, but he is nowhere near Superleague standard, although I seem to recall hearing much the same with Ashley Klein when he first came over.

Absolutely correct.

I think the player involved in both was Danny Ward.

Instead of getting to his feet, he took to crawling along the floor in an attempt to get a penalty.

He did this, and got away with it, on any number of occasions on Saturday.

In regards to Fieldens raised knee, well he has seemed to have got into a habit of 'stamping' his way in tackles. He is much more effective when he runs direct.

The one thin that really annoyed me about Sat's performance is the lack of running onto the ball at pace. Feka was the only one doing it the whole game. If Fielden, Coley et al did it a bit more often we'd make a hell of a lot more yards...

Agreed. Fielden can bounce off tackles till he's blue in the face but he isn't making us anymore yards. If he's going to do that at least try and get the offload away otherwise he's just wasting energy.

He did on Saturday and no f*cker bothered to take it off him

They did. 5 matches for a high tackle is probably the highest punishment for this offence that they have given for years (and quite rightly too as it was a bad one).

There is no issue with sending letters to players, and it helps to then throw a ban at them if they continue.
