I can't, but that does not render the offence redundant. It's one of the most dangerous plays a big man can make, risking serious head injury to any would-be tackler.

I agree. Certainly. I'm merely pointing out that some of the calls we get are just bizarre and when you see some of them weekly it starts to make you wonder.

I see the wingers and moaners who only appear when we lose are out in force - pathetic as ever.

Wakey warrior, is that you Mopsey sowing trouble as ever?

Changes needed for cas. I'd bring in arundel for Lyne and wood for Finn give rocky a go at 7. Finn caught out a few times in defence last night

I'm a massive Arundel fan an I'm also one of those who used to criticise Lyne years ago because he was pap. But Lyne was good against Warrington and deserves his place in the 13.

Last one I can remember was Stuart Fielden so we're going back a while.

Craig Smith ended the career of John Stankevitch by doing this so it’s hardly a bizarre call

Agree! One of the most bizarre calls I've ever seen, Pauli has an explosive leg drive but leading with the knee!?

I think you have to go back pre Fred Lindop (the best referee imo ever) for a penalty as stupid as that

He didn't lead with the knee though
It was a bad call from Childs

I thought the same to me he was a bit bent over leading with the shoulder if any thing, how could he raise his knees
