Farrell went down far too easily.
Probably deserved to get dropped after ragging Poore's collar, sticking his knee in and going for him first

People carry the ball in different ways, if Farrell wanted to avoid an Elbow or a Forearm he should of moved his head or even better tackled his legs!

Sorry but that's a ridiculous comment.

looking at it as a fan, you'd probably say Poore's reaction was justiyable.

As a team-mate, would their opinion be either

A: wow what a punch, he had it coming
B: FFS Justin

I'll let you decide....

Punching is a sending off offence, simple as that. Demz De Rules.
Whether Farrell's, ahem, "effort" is deemed to be a punch by the disciplinary matter, only time will tell.

Ref clearly didn't think it was a punch otherwsie (I would hope) he'd have sent him off.

Either way, the "lovely punch" as it has been deemed has done you guys no favours in the following weeks.

I also think Poore will be on the receiving end of much more niggling and provocation from smarter opponents, as he has proved on more than one occasion he can't control himself at times.

On the plus side, Wakefield played like that for 69 minutes against (for me) the best side by a mile for finding gaps..... Great effort!

Though I'm sure your forwards won't be as fresh as a daisy this morning..... Except Ali, of course, who only played about 15 minutes???????????

Am I missing something there?

One more thing on the Farrell punch, we got the penalty but I don't know what he gave it for! Anyone see Hicks' signal?

I wasn't at the game due to work and not really being bothered lol but we did exceptionally well to keep a team to 40 points this week!!!!!

Hopefully Poore's 1/2 match ban will be an eye-opener to him and will come back fresh.

I dunno of his disciplinary record in Aus so can't really say either way

I believe he never got sent off in AUS, not 100% though.

Lets face it, if we still had Hock, and he did the same thing that Poore did you lot would want him hanged outside of the stadium.

I don't think that there's any comparison. Hock is a coke headed perpetual offender, next to him Poore's in line for Nobel peace prize.

What goes around comes around.

One thing between Poore and Hock - ones an honest, hard working and a little short tempered former SOO forward, the other is a cheating, eye gouging coke sniffing thug.
