Watts was also 20 meters offside when the ball was played. Cobb had a way out of his big foul play decision, he could have just binned him for a professional foul. My view is he forgot about that altogether whilst worrying about and bottling the bigger call.

Ablett nails it if you listen to the audio. "Direct contact to the head". How many times do referees trot that one out in fake conversations with touch judges, aka video referees? They all forgot about it in this incident.

Absolutely. In fact, had Cobb not been so defensive and considered what Ablett was saying he might have gotten the call right. All Cobb did was complain to our captain and ask him to talk to Ablett. Our captain ignored Cobb and said we only wanted " a fair shake" which he felt we weren't getting.

Not the greatest display of refereeing or captaincy there.

You can't say YouTube on here? Is this for real?

Oh yeah for anyone that was wondering, pretty much any game on sky over last season and this is on Youtube! Obviously the quality isn't HD.

F*ck the sky subscription! Another way to escape consumerism.

You can say it. I was being whimsical and silly. I blame binge watching Kimmy Schmidt over the weekend.

If that even came into the consideration, all three members of the MRP need to be packed up and sent on their way.

I'd hate to think we were sliding back into the bad old days where shots to the head were an accepted part of the game.

Fred Lindop used to believe the chest extended slightly higher than a point that most of us would call our eyebrows.

Wasn't particularly clear from the replays where Lilley copped that knock to his nose. Certainly nobody near his face as he dives over, so whether there's been a collision somewhere as he regathers the ball I can't tell. No obvious foul play though.

I agree it wasn't clear as he appeared to get up with no blood visible but once the euphoria of his first try passed it was clear from his reaction he'd copped a knock. It came from the initial contact from Houghton, genuine attempt to prevent a player scoring low to the ground.

What should've merited a further look at the time was the knees in back of Keinhorst as he went over for his try. No different to the one on Ratchford by Farrell in my opinion, which resulted in an 8 point try.

I don't think it was as bad, for one it wasn't Liam Farrell, I also don't recall any adverse reaction to the challenge from Keinhorst although in fairness to Jimmy he was probably already suffering from shock receiving a great pass from a player who according to some is incapable of supplying one.

If you haven't heard it already I can recommend last week's RL Renegades podcast from Rod Studd to hear Brian Carney (who I liked as a player and even moreso now) go to town on the match review/disciplinary. Didn't know it existed but followed a link from Studd's Twitter account.

I'll try to give it a listen and skip through the bits where Studd is talking.

Talking? or talking over someone?
