Disgraceful decision
Should have been given a red card for that but they deemed a penalty try was sufficient punishment.
I wonder what they would have done if the player had managed to ground the ball after the tackle.

Is it an either or thing with a penalty try?

If the penalty try is awarded then they can't show a card?

If it is I bet Cas wanted a sending off rather than a try.

It would have been an eight point try - a conversion from in line where the try was scored then a penalty in front of the posts. Unless the rule has changed, I've not seen one for quite a while.

If Sutcliffe is out and Tuimavave isn't back then Griffin might have to go to centre. Our other options (Wynne and Mitch) are unavailable too as far as I know. What are Litten's credentials at centre? Is that an option?

He could play wing and move McIntosh to centre

Not sure moving Mcintosh would help. He's not the best defender on the wing. Not ideal but maybe move Lovodua to centre, he's filled there before.

They gave a few 8 point trys in 2017. Now they seemed to have disappeared again.

Carlos got on in 17 against Saints after Walmsley slid in after he scored. Think Mini got one against Wigan at home too, seem to remember Tierney trying to kick the ball out of his hand while scoring

Agree , Should be missing the next two games at least .

I wouldn't have McIntosh anywhere near the centre spot , I'd move Griffin there if Andre is back .

Has Lane passed his HIA? If not even if Savelio comes back we are light at 2nd row unless Cator or Lovodua step in at 2nd row short term with Griffin to centre. Agree that I wouldn’t have McIntosh at centre. Hopefully the loss of Taylor can be learned with the return of both Sao & Brown.

I think the 1 game ban is a fair call on Taylor, don’t think he can have many complaints even though Myler made more than a meal of it for all of 2 secs. He gave the panel the opportunity to ban him. What is a real p!5s take is the fact that Welsby escapes any ban for what should hav seen him given yellow at the very least but Moore effectively penalised Cas by awarding penalty try rather than reducing St’s to 12. Thought Knowles was also lucky for his hit on Evalds which had a swinging arm in that missed due to Evalds already going down.

Tough ask to go over to France at the best of times and the above issues won’t help. That said Catalan have not exactly gone well themselves so far and the weather won’t be that warm but good enough to enable us to play an expansive game.

Brown for Taylor , Who I think was lucky to get 1 match imo . Then if lane is out then that will be for 12 days so hopefully one of Savelio or Sao back .
I quite fancy our chances in France , Macca already bemoaning injuries & sickness in the French camp .
