What am I missing here? How has Drinkwater not even been cited?

Fine them then.

Why does everyone else have to suffer? £100 min for the coach and a ticket. I want to see two full strength sides go at it.

RFL treats its fans like absolute mugs. Shame most of them all seem to bend over a love it.

Think you’ve been playing some good rugby and like said on the day anything could happen. If it’s won for us it’ll be up the middle, loosing Philbin a big blow. Best of luck.

Eckersley for Kieghran
Hill for Dupree plus we have Walters on bench if needed to do stints

Puts a lot of pressure on eckersley shoulders but in a way he should be safer defensively as he can climb for the high ball

I’m sure if you’d ask few Warrington fans they’ll be happy with Kieghran and Dupree sitting out. Think both players have a previous charges against them

Keighran more of a loss than Dupree. Both annoying though, particularly the Dupree one. What did he think would happen?

Re: Wire part 1 of 2 : Mon Jun 03, 2024 12:50 pm  

I don't think either will get off, even if we appeal. Surprised at Dupree's ban as there's a good argument for he was just getting up quickly, although being honest it does look like he means to lead with the head.

That incident was just symptomatic of us losing our heads several times on Saturday. IMO, the way it was reffed played a massive part in it. We're just lucky Jack Smith won't get the final, because that was a terrible, terrible refereeing performance; it was like he was affected by the home crowd!

Onwards and upwards though, and I have a sneaky feeling this will just add fuel to us in the latter part of the week.

We can’t go down the Saints conspiracy route but what I will say is that I don’t think we kick up any sort of fuss over decisions and it leaves us a bit of a sitting duck. I think both are heavy handed by at least a game but there you go. I’ve said previously I’m happy when any players avoid a ban but you can’t help but look at the Moylan, Hiku and Tai challenges and wonder what this big differences are to warrant such massively different outcomes.

Er aren't you appealing Keighran? Peet said he would be, hardly not kicking up a fuss

Re: Wire part 1 of 2 : Mon Jun 03, 2024 1:07 pm  

Keighran been outstanding in defence but his attitude and aggression in that department have cost him in a number of games over the course of his career.

Eckersley is as good a replacement going though and whilst Keighran has been getting better in attack I think ZE is potentially an upgrade if we get in the front foot.

Dupree is a loss because it probably changes the way we play. Dupree has been used as impact along with Mago I’m not sure we have another forward waiting in the background that had the same impact that Dupree does.
