8,000 and a bit is what I heard. It’s a Wednesday fixture, so I’d have expected you to get about 10k on in a Wednesday in 2019. It’s not too worrying a drop that in the current climate IMO.

Impossible to make a judgement on how crowds will be affected until the next round of season ticket sales. Those who understandably didn't buy one this year will probably be unlikely to buy match tickets. I am a little surprised there are no half season ticket packages.

Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.

Well you can't exactly make the players continue if they all stop can you? That forces the ref's hand, and obviously no one would complain about treating that as a tackle as they had all stopped. That's a bit different to the ref stopping one team as they are running in for a try. We can disagree with the rules all we want, all I'm explaining is that (whether people like it or not) the game wasn't stopped immediately because no tackle had been completed, and that it would have been stopped at the next tackle had there been one. That's not a random brainfart from Hicks, it's the same way the game has been officiated for at least the last 20 years that I have been watching/involved. No idea whether it used to be different before that.

Previously taking someone’s head off in a Wire v Wigan game was compulsory not accidental. Even in pre season “friendlies “ Locker Cup often saw a season ending injury or 2.

Supporters should stop making excuses about mid week games and Covid19 and face the fact that there is not the same interest in the game today as there was in season's past.

A situation which will be hard to rectify with more and more supporters finding other interests outside watching Rugby League.

So are you saying they don't penalise "accidental offside" or that when a player falling receives a head high tackle it is deliberate or intentional?

Correct, they don't penalise accidental offside. It is a turnover (or scrum pre-COVID)

I'd say the difference is that if you tackle someone high, it's always going to be at least reckless, because you were trying to make contact with them, you've just done it in the wrong place. I would hope that Charnley wasn't trying to make contact with Marshall at all.

A bit pedantic Grimmy. It certainly isn't play on!


As for the comparison to head high: are you saying Charnley didn't intend making contact? Then why didn't he try to jump over the prone player? He absolutely intended to (as he puts it) "put his boots where Marshall's head was" (sic). I'm not suggesting he tried to injure him purposely but he did intend to...shall we say.."compete" for the ball. It's not dissimilar to when a player slides into the tackle feet first in football and takes the player rather than the ball. It's no use pleading "but I was going for the ball, I didn't intend to make contact". That just doesn't wash.

100% he should have gone to the video ref.

Hicks doesn't learn and never will. He lost Saints a CC final a few years back because of his cock sure attitude. This is the problem with these guys - they are too protected and in turn they are turning into mini divas who want the attention to be on them. His billy big balls attitude of 'look at me making decisions' is pathetic. When anything is said either by coaches, owners or fans on social he's melts.

What a stupid rule btw. You can accidently kick someone in the head and it's not a pen, but you accidentally tackle someone high and get a penalised.


I thought I was looking at old pages from Redvee when I read this. Think you'll find that the Saints coach's team selection for that game cost them the cup, not Hicks.

I don't think he had time to attempt to jump over him to be honest. If he was intending to stick his boot in there (whether going for the ball or not) then it's reckless rather than accidental and should be at least a sin bin, more likely a red given the severity.
