Yeah. I bit.

We defended extremely well and pressurised Newcastle into making mistakes.

Our discpline was generally good and we played to a simple game plan.

A repeat of the same next week will certainly give Oldham plenty to think about.

No one will fancy playing us in the form we're currently in.

We need to win next week, hope that Workington beat Newcastle, hope that Workington then beat Oldham... for a home game in the final!

Stranger things....

Tell u what though. Let's just win our next 2 games eh? Not beyond us is it?

Play off as it stands. The Hunslet Chinos are out. Dons play Oldham Away next week, the winner goes to the final and has a week off.

The loser plays the winner of Newcastle v Workington for the last final place.

(If it’s Newcastle we play them Away, if it’s Workington we’d be at home)

Just seen the high shot on TH, as bad as it gets and a red card should have been brandished. The Newcastle player should have been out for the rest of the playoffs.

I guess that when the Disciplinary Committee have a look at it Wilf, it will be the end of the playoffs for the Newcastle lad.

I'm not keen on ref-bashing but he gave himself plenty of time to arrive at the correct decision and still didn't!

Justice would see a ban for the player and some education for the official.

If the guilty player has been dealt with on field , a sin binning , isn't that the end of the matter.

Great team performance , enjoyed my afternoon in the north east.

No. The disciplinary committee can review and refer any incident, even those where the official took some action. What tends to happen however, in the vast majority of cases, is that those dealt with on the pitch rarely have any further action taken.

Which would be very unfortunate. Can anyone here. Hand on heart. Say that wasn't one of the worst high tackles they've seen? Sin bin and no further action

Tom looked ok at the end of the game.

he will have to pass a head test no doubt.

Hedges had to come off with a leg injury.

COYD

If they do review it I hope that for the sake of the game (and players health) it warrants sterner action. Not one for mixing the Rugby codes up but you have to say in Union that type of head shot would be severely dealt with.

Sorry Rob ... been busy.
Do I have to explain the joke?

No it isn't!

Thanks, Wanderer has explained.
