The slow play the balls, the risk of head injuries and the MRP coming after players is going to make things difficult. The Smith tackle he has mitigation with Farrell touching the player but league games shouldn’t count towards discipline in the WCC anyway, it would give Penrith an unfair advantage.

Watts does that all the time. Probably just about a red. I thought Keighran got hit with one as well when he dropped the ball.

Mago yet again changed the game when he came on.

I loathe what’s happened to our game over the last 5 years.

That’s never a red for me that.

Whilst i agree with the Watts decision and would have also understood if Smith went too i really think this season could be the last as a RL supporter. I just can't see myself enjoying it next season. I will see how it goes but i can see myself switching off after a few games and never switching back on. Rugby League just wont be rugby league without controversy and bad tackles. We can thank the thug Bobby Goulding and his mates for that one.

The Watts one was a red under the old rules no matter how much Lingard and McGuire eff an jeff about it. Zero attempt to make a tackle and led with the shoulder (or close to) direct to the head. The weather is a real leveller.

Nah don't see owt wrong with it the Smith tackle however was straight red he won't be playing for a while, shame with WCC round the corner still you have to overcome adversity.

Feels like watching a Challenge Cup match from the early 90's. BBC, Muddy pitch, early darkness
