That'll be the one Farrell cheated to win a penalty from

And did that late hit by Matautia result in a penalty on the day

It was for a late hit on Field after he passed to French for the first try. I've seen it back and no complaints really. He's copped for a few similar type bans so needs to refine his technique.

Fair enough I’ll take the try

Why would it ? A try was scored so advantage was played.

And that’s why I said I’d take the try. I just couldn’t remember a penalty for a late hit

The Matautia ban is for the tackle on Field in the lead up to the first try?! Wow, I'm really struggling to see how that is a 1 match ban, it's a nothing tackle on someone (very effectively) taking the ball right into the line to commit a defender. Bizarre.

There must be 10-15 of those every game.

I've criticised Sione for some of his tackles this season but come on now.

8 bans from the weekends games. We’re back in ‘everything is a yellow, red and/or a ban’ territory. It’s all come from your game last week, when at least one and probably two red cards weren’t handed out, so we get the outrage over the week and then they flip back to early season decisions. We’ll have this for a few weeks now and then they’ll cave in to all the moaning and nothing will be a red/yellow/ban again and that cycle will be repeated until such a time the whole refereeing and disciplinary system is overhauled.

Sad but true.

We need the best players on the pitch and not up in the stands.

Something really bad (like some of Napa and Kane Evans antics this year, Powell crusher too) should get 1/2 games.

The product needs to stay as strong as possible and every club already gets enough injuries.

Sort it out with fines they’d soon stop it.

It's a farce. If this was amateur rugby league, clubs would not be able to fulfill their fixtures.

Well, it can't have been that bad as nobody picked up on it during the game. It is virtually impossible to pull out of some of these tackles, slowing the offence in slow motion does nobody any favours.

Not surprising to hear, but Singo wouldn't make my starting 17. Three games, with Ellis back (hopefully), is a god send imo

Ellis & Byrne to start. Mago and Havard on the bench. Also start Smithies and move Isa to bench instead of Shorrocks.

But some of these so-called offences don't even warrant a trip to the disciplinary and if they do there is absolutely no consistency in the action the committee are taking. Powell gets a long ban for a crusher, which I agree with, whilst Fash commits the same offence and does not even receive a ban! It's ludicrous.

A lot of positives to take out of saturday IMO. We played pretty poorly for the majority of the game, much like in the cup final, with an error strewn display. However, this time we weren’t able to pull it off and Saints were deserved winners.

We looked really comfortable after 40 mins, considering the amount of ball Saints had due to our errors. I think if we have an even share of ball against them, we win. That being said, important lessons to be learned, and we would rather it happen at Magic than in the play offs.

I walked away from the game really positive about our chances for further silverware this season. I am convinced we will meet them in a one-off game in the play offs and it might just be the best game yet between the two sides this season.

The less said about the refereeing calls the better. We definitely had some really poor calls against us (no try before half time, Welbsy try and the Singleton red).
