Herman has a slight knock anyway so the ban probably helps him rest it rather than play with it and make it worse

The segment with Wilkin & JJB trying to show how Watts should have tackled Dupree was farcical . We'd probably get a lot more defenders with head injuries from the ball carrying arm of the attacker . You could sense between them they knew they were talking shoite .

I think they need to start showing old clips of these pundits and those taking legal action playing years ago, guarantee that not every tackle they made wasnt legal! The players arent robots, mistakes happen.

I totally agreed with Wilkin tonight in everything he said regarding the game , I wonder how long before Sky will be whispering in the ears of the SL/RFL about the quality of the games we are now witnessing .

Too late for FC 2 of the most ridiculous red cards in the history of the game and as Uncle Tony said “it has repercussions for the future” I took to mean he doesn’t have the banned players available for future games. I’m losing the ability to breathe.

Looks like Hull are top of the list of being shafted this year , its ridiculous . Any more of this and I am done watching RL. If past and present players where that concerned about head injuries they should have been wearing skull caps , not many around these days, so the players who are whinging cant have been that concerned .

That last night was the most retarded red card ive seen .

As we started all this controversy with the sending off of Sao,Pele and the card suspension for Essee i wonder if it will be Hull FC that finishes all these ridiculous new rules given last nights red card decision.
Such is the backlash in the sport there is no way that Brown will be suspended but the RFL will have to go away and rethink the game.
Wonder which team will be the first to walk off the pitch if this continues

Repercussions could well mean the future of the sport as SKY and other stakeholders may well decide that they’ve had enough of the way the sport is governed and the ineptitude of those involved.

Don't bet on it. There was widespread criticism of Watts' red card but he was still banned. Based on Griffiths' comments to Brown "forceful and dangerous, there's no mitigation" Brown is potentially looking at a five to six game ban.

I think it was Bradford that walked off the pitch in the old Northern days after they had a
Number of players sent off, I think it was against rovers (could be wrong).
