To be fair deservedly so. I was surprised he didn't get a yellow

I find it crazy how much people love a good banning session.

It was pre season & no one got hurt. No need to see players miss important matches for something trivial.

Slap on the wrist and nothing more

I agree but unfortunately common sense won’t be applied.
I think Huddersfield have had 2 players receiving bans from friendly games so the precedent has been set.

Then it's hypocritical.

The OP mentioned that no card was shown, even though one probably would have been handed out in a "regular" game. On top of that, if it was a regular game, we'd probably have seen a yellow for the 3/4 offsides we gave on our own line.

You can't on the one hand be lenient in the game and then not in the disciplinary. You either accept players are rusty and let it slide, or you don't.

I’m not disagreeing but I fear the worst particularly if Huddersfield players have had bans relating to friendly games.
Hope I’m wrong.

Keighran needs to get these tip tackles out of his game.

Correct. I hear SP and get where he’s coming from in that the disciplinary are being far too over zealous, especially in friendlies but that was just lunacy from Keighran. To cost his team in a GF by doing 2 of those tackles was poor on his part but to then follow it up with another in his first tackle for his new club was something my eyes struggled to believe.

Why won't it be Isa and Farrell?

It will be Farrell and Isa but Farrell always does 80 mins Isa never does.
Second row subs will be vital for when Isa is interchanged.

It will be but I’m just thinking ahead to one needing a breather during a game or god forbid, if one was to get injured. We’re down to just those 2 lads and the reserves game seems a good opportunity to look at who could do a job should they need to in the weeks to come.

Isa can still do 80 minutes no problem.

More reason to leave him out of the Cas game IMO and save him for Penrith.

Thanks Nicky I haven’t seen that.
