I agree about our forwards being dominant here thought Burns put in one hell of a stint with some very good tackles. My favourite was when the attacker tried to drag him one way before giving a drop off pass to someone else in order to beat him. Nope Burns just switched targets instantly and the second the Dewsbury man caught the ball he wrapped him up.

Having not seen the Barrow game our defense was a marked improvement on Fev. We had players actually pressuring the kicker and our line speed was much better with us getting up in the attackers faces a lot more and putting in some stinging hits.

As well as Lyne I hope Watson is ok as I was surprised he didn't play I assume maybe he picked up an injury? If not would swap him for Robinson for next week honestly I think his running game would have thrived off of the game today.

Regards Craig I think where we play him depends on injuries. We could put Tali at Centre and leave him at stand off potentially I suppose a lot of it depends on the fitness of Johnston and Boas.

Does anyone know if Foster was injured? Came on had two good runs and went off after about 10 mins it seemed?

On a side not the referees really need to get tougher on these blatant high shots on Briscoe he seems to frustrate the defense with his strong running so they resort to trying to take his head off and whilever the referees simply choose to ignore this like the one late on in the second half teams will keep doing it.

Both highshots on Briscoe in the second half should have been yellows imo.

For an organisation (RFL) that is supposedly all about player welfare these days and trying to protect players from the consequences of concussion this is simply not good enough. While I'm sure the club would never get one I feel they are owed an explanation as to why when that happens right in front of the referee no action is taken.

I'm guessing that would be the guy who may well have felt that he should have been appointed as Head Coach.

I'd always assumed if Sykes had wanted it, he'd have got it

He did a better job at trying to referee the game on Sunday!

Greg Burns facing a tribunal for a head shot (grade E).

So the really bad high shots against Luke Briscoe are getting ignored then and Burns is being charged for what exactly? Honestly does anyone remember this?

I feel like a High shot that bad would have been mentioned on both of the forums before now but neither forum has mentioned it.

The best guess I have is it involves that player of theirs' that went off for a HIA but at the time I thought that had been a good hit and assumed HIA was whiplash related or happened as the players head possibly hit the ground as he was rocked back/put on his backside.

Don't remember it being a penalty nor the Dewsbury players or fans being up in arms like I would expect to see for something like that. Feels like this has come out of nowhere tbh.
