Thought the same about 9s - it does feel like the format has been diluted. That said, the order of the league table holds few surprises so maybe it's still a good way of differentiating between teams.

I wonder if they will keep the six again rule beyond this season.
Why is it ok for union to have scrums but not ok for league?

Why is it ok to tackel someone or grab their nads,

but it is not ok

to hand shake?

On the subject of penalties awarded to each team, the match statistics shown by Sky after our match did not list any although several were given.

The penalty count was 4-4.

Do Shaully & Scotty use the same hairdresser?
Is Dre gonna need some rhinoplasty?

Will he be able to play on Sunday? Could really do with him (Dre I mean)

During this game Chris Satae claimed that Dec Patton had bit him on the arm, in front of the posts with Wire in possession, Referee waved play on apparently ignoring it and Wire went on to score. Last nights game not sure who but a Leeds player claimed he’d been bitten by a Rovers player, Ref stopped the game brought the 2 players and respective captains together. After everyone involved was shown the apparent bite mark, resumed the game, meaning Rovers we’re allowed to form a disciplined defensive line. Can anyone tell me why 2 referees treat the same offence differently and was Dec Patton disciplined, I notice he’s missing from Wire’s present line up.

This is what disciplinary came up with...

But the ref didn’t stop play plus the touch judge didn’t come onto the field. The ref just seemed to hurry the game on without taking notice
