Friday could have been a great show of two sets of world class forwards battering 10 bells out of eachother, but the RFL continue to completely jez it. It's a physical contact sport and any neutrals or newcomers seeing penalties and charges doled out like this won't be converted any time soon.
Both are harsh IMO, the Taylor challenge wasn't that bad, and Grade D for Watts is way over the top, considering he was also sunbinned. Let's hope Ellis is fit and Taylor can get off.
Moa should get off as he did nothing - Taylor should get banned for acting a dude most of the night, Watts will also gett banned and for a few games but if anything his was just an accident
2 games in and we'll have had 3 players banned already, possibly losing those 3 key players for up to 8 matches. Injuries are part of the game but foul play leading to bans is just bl00dy stupid. We could well lose the next couple of games due to being down on numbers
