Can’t wait to hear super pundit Wilkin’s take on it.
I actually agreed with Wilkin last night. Russell stays down, Lisone gets a straight red, because he doesn't, play continues and Leeds score a try and the best the ref can now do is 'on report'.
I really can't stand watching rugby players rolling about like they've been shot so they can get an opponent given 10mins or a red card, but it'll now continue/get worse because of last nights game. Maybe we should adopt an NRL style bunker video ref that reviews the try scored and anything leading up to it, that a ref has missed and gives them the power to disallow or award a try and any penalty actions.
Something needs to be done or next time Russell, who should be applauded for getting straight up and continuing with the game, WILL stay down on contacts not as bad as the Lisone one.
