The buzz word with the clowns running our game at the moment is mitigation surely there's mitigation in a bloody accidental head clash?

So what happens if say for example Sao and Ese Ese clash heads making a tackle? Are they both getting cards and bans for direct head contact? Or is it just against an opposition player? I don't see the difference. The club must surely appeal ashworths joke of a ban, I'd never wish anyone to be out of work but Cullen and his band of morons definitely are the exception, they wouldn't be able to run a bath between them, never mind a disciplinary panel.

Full Stands of supporters holding "Give the RFL the red card" protests.

Agree bishops finger.
Anyone who has watched the other televised games.
Our discipline is poor compared to other teams.
The Tackling technique hasn’t improved at all
The first minute try conceded against Catalans was school boy defending. Our marker defence at times is lazy.
Really don’t know what the coaching staff are doing.

Said at the weekend Ashworth would get 2 matches.
Its new rules and you can’t make tackles like that anymore.
It’s no good complaining about the rfl.
the coaches and club have to get this sorted .
FC are standout the worst disciplined club in SL.

Its odds on Pele will cop a ban against Leigh.

Empty stands is the only thing that will get noticed.

If it carries on like it has been, we won't be far off that situation soon.

With all our games broadcast on sky

Banners with

match review panel not fit for purpose

All over the stadium would be nice

Definitely needed.

Fans takes banners when they're protesting their coach out. And this is far more serious.

The TV screens will be there too, for the protests to make a mark.

What do you mean that you can't make tackles like that anymore?

There's already been lots of tackles like that so far this season, the only difference is that both defender and attacker, accidentally clashed heads. Had they not accidentally clashed heads. The game would have just played on. Everyone would have said "what a good hit by Ashworth" and we wouldn't be even having this conversation.

Would you say a very similar tackle that didn't have an accidental head clash and no injury should also be a yellow card and a 3 game ban?

Well at least there’s one positive for me, can now call someone I don’t like the ‘C’ word without offending women or children in earshot simply by calling them a ‘Cullen’

Seriously though both AP and TS have to make a stand against the RFL/MRP and speak out directly and publicly, even if that means short term pain for long term gain. As sitting back, saying nothing and being nice does and has done sweet FA for us.

Accidental head clashes will always happen in a full contact game especially when two very big bodies come into contact with each other.

There’s a huge difference between and intentional head contact and accidental yet the RFL/MRP seem to view Percival’s reckless and totally unavoidable shoulder to the head a lesser offence than an accidental clash of heads of which Chris seems to lower his head at the last second to to drive into the tackle with his shoulder and hit Jack around the top of his chest initially which rocks both players heads back. With that amount of contact if it was direct head to head contact you’d expect to see some form of damage on both Chris’ and/or Jacks face but there wasn’t even a mark left. Seems to me it was more a case of the affects of whiplash from the collision of a perfectly legal tackle.

So in view of the MRP as a player you are better off recklessly using a shoulder in the tackle like Percival as that seems to be seen as a lesser offence.

Would AP back Degsey if he called for a new introduction of an elite league, and a breakaway from SL with sufficient funding?

Did you see the Wigan v Huddersfield game the other week? Or the attempted tackle by Matty English on Chan of Wigan in the second half?

Something happened there because English staggered away from the challenge and nearly collapsed. Players from both teams rushed to him to hold him up. After treatment he went off for a HIA which he presumably failed because he never returned and missed their game this weekend.

Now that challenge was never replayed on tv or even mentioned by the commentators. But the seriousness of his condition means something must have happened? But it just seems to be ignored by everyone?

Contrast that with the way every tackle by our players is getting scrutinised by sky/the commentators/mrp and it just isn’t on.

The club would probably get fined for “the inability to control your supporters ” line .Its a joke , something has got to give soon surely

Walker finds out the extent of his injury today. Fingers crossed it's the best news possible.
