7% of the audience share, which is fantastic

i dont think thats too bad given the kick off time
some terrestrial tv company needs to cash in with a Sunday game with an 18.00 or 19.00 kick off.
Thats how American football started in the UK

Brilliant . So another great player to watch will be sat in stands again for a while.
Thought he’d broken his hands too? Must be pretty tough…..

It was, with a closed fist.

Leeds were excellent on the day. Bentley red a no brainer but top performances from Leeming, Gannon, Tetevano and Martin.

I am struggling to see what Sutcliffe and Briscoe bring to the party that younger players like Broadbent couldn't.

Why is that Handley chases down the ball but almost always misses the tackle - his miss in the second half changed the momentum.

Thought Sutcliffe was poor in attack. Without Newman we lack punch in the centres

A great start and it’ll get better viewing figures as it progresses. Hopefully a sign of things to come

That's a strange looking closed fist (with a fair amount of shoulder contact) still a red and a ban no doubt but not as long maybe

I don't think that it was said that the closed fist made contact with the head, but it's an indication of intent. Not to punch, but to go in recklessly for a big shot. It's poor technique with no ability to wrap the tackle, similar to the shoulder charge.

He went for an aggressive shot, mistimed it, hit the head, so is automatically a red card
