| That was a hard watch, several players were really off the pace and playing themselves out of any wembley squad, too many also got suckered into silly plays with the homer ref being only too keen to penalise. Two points gained but maybe the cost was too much , hopefully Marshall and Junior are fit for next week.
Keighran will cop a ban - only mitigation was the tackled player was falling but he made no real attempt to wrap his arm which made it look much worse, under current rules it will be a significant ban I suspect. Shame as apart from that he had a decent game and his goal kicking was on point.
For me I think we will go Eckersley in the centre and with Faz back probably Walters on the bench as cover in the second row and Faz can move to centre if needed. Puts us down one prop on the bench though. Hopefully Dupree does not get anything - as he made a difference when he came on (much better than Byrne who along with Hill may well have played out of the CC squad as neither really stood out).

I think it was an attempt to let Wire get some points on the board by putting us down a man, to try and make a contest of it, but the officials had no choice but to be consistent when the second incident occurred.'"

| Well, we are getting into a pickle whoever is to blame. Was Cooper's tackle even a penalty? TBF the VR called for the card so not Kendall's "fault". The Dufty one was a pen as a swinging arm hit the shoulder and ended up head high - a yellow could have been given or not but the occasion meant it was guaranteed.

| What I'm not clear about, and I'd appreciate other posters' thoughts, is was it Kendall or Liam Moore, the VR, who actually made the decisions to card Cooper (and Dufty)? Does the VR overrule the on-field ref?

VR can advise the on field ref but it’s the on field who makes the final decision. That’s said, if I were a ref and the Vr with the benefit of replays advised me to send someone off I would do it.
JD said in commentary that he heard the Vr advised for the Cooper yellow, not sure about the other.

| Thanks, that what I thought. As has been mentioned, if the BBC commentators had shut up, we might have been able to hear what Kendall was saying! Certainly Kendall didn't seem to want to do anything initially about Cooper. And then, having carded Cooper, it put a different light on the Dufty situation.
I've been away for the last couple of days and still haven't watched the game back yet. Hoping to get to it shortly.
