Apart from not losing it’s hard to imagine how that could’ve gone any worse

There’s a small chance looking at Keighran’s challenge that he gets a fine and/or a ban. He’s not gone in with a swinging arm, he’s stood his ground and connected high whilst the player is going down. I still think he’ll be banned but we’ve seen worse this year.

Keighran will be banned, absolutely no doubt about it. It was very marginally worse than Matt Moylan’s on Field and he just got a fine, so no grumbles with a one game ban but they should kick up over anything further. Dupree will be banned as well and rightfully so. How you lose your head like that with a week to go to a major final is beyond me.

It’ll be a great chance for Eckersley and Hill IMO. That’s who I would play and I thought both were incredible today. If Liam Byrne gets in its bang out of order. I rate Byrne but he was way off again today and contributed massively to the slow start. Hill on the other hand raised the tempo and should play for me.

To be fair, Harry smith got let off for worse so he could play in the WCC. AK will be fine. The MRP will just ban a saints player instead like they always do

And here he is!!

But you still have to play Wire again after the Challenge Cup, where they’ll not be resting any up.

“light years ahead”?
Good grief.

I see the village idiot is out on day release

I mustn’t of been watching on the Dupree hit but surely there nothing in that from Dupree. He can’t be that stupid can he? Not for one second saying he’s not done it but it’s stupidity if he has. Kieghran was silly and should cop a ban the only saving grace I see is the lad was loosing light slightly

The big positive to come out of that game is it gives us 100% focus on our discipline and start.

I think Bryne played his way out of the team, and having Thomson back we will see a different start to the game.

While i expect AK to get a ban, I'd like to see in real time how much time he had to do anything different. If the player is stood up, his left arm has time to come round and make a normal tackle round the body. It's petty tough for the players when that's judged in slow motion.

Powell was holding Dupree down in the tackle, Dupree was trying to get up, he gets pulled forward and makes head contact. Nothing in it if you look at the full picture.

I think Dupree may be ok. There’s an argument to say he was trying to get up quickly.

Warrington will feel confident after yesterday though. There’s a lot more of their players to come back into that team than there is for Wigan.
