Yeah there does not look to be a lot in the incident. There is an allegation of racial abuse towards Tangata and looking at the fight it seems to be Fulton that Tangata gets tangled up with but that will depend if the officials heard anything.

Tangata came from nowhere near the initial incident to get involved and his actions were not to diffuse or split the melee up. He seemed to be a bit niggly all match with leg in at the play the ball and the late shot on the kicker - wonder if the disciplinary will look at that as Tafua has been banned for less this year.

Hopefully no repercussions for Bradford players with hopefully bigger games to come.

Potentially Myers could be in a lot of trouble for contact with a match official. We have seen players banned for a lot less than that so it will be interesting to see how that is dealt with.

Nothing in that, he collided with his own player and puts his hands out to try prevent himself running into the official.

Like I say, players have been banned for a lot less than that when it comes to contact with match officials. Contact is there when it could have been avoided.

It seems to be a lottery on what is and isn't cited, I personally think it is pretty clear that the contact was unintentional. Obviously the repercussions for Bradford players are somewhat more severe so hopefully common sense will prevail.

Might be repercussions coming for the club as a whole with the RFL having written to Bradford for an explanation over allegations that plastic bottles were thrown by Bulls fans in the direction of Halifax players.

Well hopefully anyone guilty of that is identified and dealt with accordingly - can do without that. I was in the East Stand and I can't say I saw anything like that, but hopefully if anyone did they help identify those responsible.

That was the younger Halifax water guy who was celebrating by giving both fingers to the Bradford fans. If there’s blame being shared around, hopefully he gets his share.
