Mr Cummings will not say anything about the alleged off the ball incident as it is a disciplinary issue. He will say that the sin binning was completely correct as the delay of a 20 metre restart is an automatic sin binning and anyone knowing the laws would know this.

Only Taylor will know if it was a cynical foul, it looked as if he didn't hear the whistle, I clearly heard it from the other end of the ground so for me it was correct for him to get ten minutes.

didnt get there 4 the match for those who went is there anyone who really stood out and anyone who got a could do better o.t radio blunderside commentry "and cockaynes in at the corner for rovers"

Stand outs were (1) Clinton (2) Josh Hodgson (3) Conn Mika. Nobody really "could do better" (apart from Robert Hicks, but that's a whole new story), it was a brutal defensive effort that could not have suceeded if they all hadn't worked for each other.

Withers went well, looks sharp and plays with a bit of intelligence, he'll prove to be a good acquisition.
Mika looked dangerous, powerful and looking to offload or draw a man. Went for a massive hit in the first half, hilariously missed by miles and ended up giving Paea a big cuddle.
Clinton was like the Clinton of old.
Mature display from Josh Hodgson, good scoots out of dummy half and is deceptively strong.
Webster took the ball up with vigour and defended well.

Welhams defence is still an issue, dropping off tackles and missing.
Really not sure about McDonnell so far, he'll no doubt benefit from a firmer pitch going forward but his defence, particularly one on one looks suspect.
Cox still looks like he hasn't got over being battered from pillar to post by Catalans in last years play off mauling. No real issue at his age.

ty sandra and sir stan work commitments kept me away but hopefully wont miss many more

Bentham should have gone for 10 at the Leeds game then, he clearly delayed our 20m re-start and lost us the advantage.

i agree about mcdonnel i think his attack will be his thing not defence and welham has looked poor in defence again but then again im not his biggest fan

I just asked him on twitter and he said " no mate accidental"

Does it matter if Taylor heard him or not? i thought this rule was for attacking players that havent heard him call held (last season they would lose there advantage)?
It was a professional foul that stopped the attacking side from been quick with a restart - IMO he deserved to get the yellow and cant see any other way it could of been.

NO, that was my point, I heard the whistle, but it looked to me (confirmed by PAC, the weird stalker) that Taylor didn't.

Mistake or not, it caused Wakey to lose an advantage (we've seen Fox go the full length a couple of times in those situations) and Taylor was correctly given ten.
