Forget that, 3 matches, wonder if we can borrow Saints appeals guy

I predicted 2.

Would be interested to read the reasoning.

"Reckless, player tried to tackle, reckless about outcome"

Wow!

Debatable red but I can live with that but 3 games is astonishing. I’ lost with it all, I really am.

Wonder if his previous record counted against him, still not sure what he was supposed to do in the split second he had to react,

That's just nuts. I'm not going to argue about the sending off as it's interpretation at the end of the day but 3 games for that? What next? 1 game for tying your shoelaces too tight?

Anyway....onwards and upwards. I hope we use the availability of his place to blood one of our young academy props as there's a few real contenders in there.

could we borrow Leeds' appeals guy instead?

Well it didn't count against Bentley and one or two others.

Here you are mate, a bag of e.

Are these kind of decisions being made in the NRL?

I just think the whole thing is very harsh. I get the reasoning, direct contact with shoulder to head.

I think context has to be taken into account though. Singleton was going in to make a tackle, field gets there first and the Sironen’s position then changes, he starts to go down. Singleton can’t pull out or adjust quickly enough and makes contact. Without Field’s involvement it’s a good tackle. That been seems to have been ignored.

Same as Lees last week against Catalans, nothing he could do after Walmsley got there first and quite rightly it got overturned, damned if I can see a difference, the fact no Saints player batted an eyelid at the tackle speaks volumes

You're genuinely saying you can't see a difference between Singleton's tackle and Lees's tackle last week?

I'm saying Singleton couldn't do anything about it, contact with the head absolutely, a card fair enough, but a 3 game ban on top is ridiculous

I hope the players lying down holding their heads/necks and the referees and disciplinary officials are watching Origin.
