You can't tell me people don't want to see biff in the game.

Can't I? Depends what people you're talking about. 60+ men who've been watching the game all their lives? Maybe. The young people who need to be attracted to give the game a future, probably not so much.

Bear in mind 'the biff' has largely disappeared from RU and football too, and it hasn't hurt them.

My personal view is that I'm not that bothered either way. I'm not going to get an attack of the vapours, but it's not what I go to a game to see.

we had people aging from 65 to 11 with us today who were all cheering and shouting at the biff, I suggest your wrong, its what the game is about, RU club games still has it a bit like us and doesnt harm them, last night at the SA Lions game the largest cheer was at the biff that happened so again I suggest your wrong,,,,,,

I find RL fans pretty embarrassing when it comes to “the biff”.

Call me boring but all I’m thinking when a fight kicks off is “don’t punch or you’ll be send off and banned for a few weeks” or “he might reverse the penalty decision”.

I love the physically of the game, the big hits brutal carries etc.

But if people get some excited watching two blokes punch each other there’s plenty of other sports for you.

I’m there to watch a game of rugby.

I'm not the one claiming everyone thinks like me. Although NSW clearly does, and I'm sure he's not the only one.

As I said, it doesn't bother me much. What I cannot stand, though, is the hypocrisy of the Sky a**holes who are all, ooh, this is getting a bit tasty, and then if someone loses their temper and throws a punch, all of a sudden they are all pearl-clutching about "a disgraceful display".

It’s brain dead when you know you can’t do it. In the heat of the moment these things happen but Singleton had time to compose himself in the push and shove. I probably feel a bit sorry for Ashworth and Partington tbh. Ashworth was pushing and shoving but when he gets punched, he can’t be expected to just take it. Partington reacts to some cheap shots from Rob Buttler and again he should know better but if your teammate is getting punched from behind, I can’t really blame him wanting to give some back to Buttler.

I think they do go OTT on the bans however. I’d give Singleton and Buttler a game each and slap Ashworth and Partington on the wrists but all will get more.

I agree that bans shouldn't be long for flare-ups like this. Severe punishment should be reserved for the cheap shots. As for what will happen...

KPP almost cost a try by turning away in the second half, but saying that his defence has been good, very strong lad. We do look short on pace outside. Halsall and Hanley solid but neither have shown pace over any distance,



That's the one I'm think of.
