Our strong point this year was the size and strength we had in the pack and frustratingly in just 1 game we've gone and thrown it all away for a number of weeks. Need to hope Ese's ban is pretty lenient. No previous record over here and it wasn't as bad as some of the high shots over the weekend so 1 match maximum would be a bonus. NFA would be a god send.
My guess a disciplinary bingo
Ese Ese NFA
Sao 2
Pele 6
Usually the MRP tend to back the officials on field decisions so I would like to think that Ese'ese will be give NFA as Moore made it clear it was 'low end force' when explaining to Ese'ese. Sao is a tricky one as how may times have we seen similar when a player is trying to get up quickly, to ban Sao for me they would have to prove without doubt it was intentional. As for Pele well he's an idiot for the swinging arm so wouldn't be surprised to see 6 games though the fact he didn't make any contact with it may save him a game or 2. It does seem as though a certain official has an issue with the club though.
What has been interesting having watch all 6 games though is the disparity in the way the first 6 games have been officiated.
