Broken jaw apparently, though obviously the focus will be on Yere's tackle on Donlan, which I feel might have been dealt with there and then rather than being put on report had we not made a break from the offload and therefore the officials were following play.

I agree, we got lucky there, could've been a red depending on how it was interpreted. It doesn't look good on the tv.

Not seen the replay to be honest (can you blame me?! ) but my first instinct was that he began to turn Donlan once the ball had already been released - the disciplinary initially need to work out whether Yere was aware that Donlan was no longer the ball carrier and then consider whether it was a dangerous action. Makes a change for them to review it so quickly for our league anyway!

Only because it's such a big game next week. To be honest the system in the regular season is a joke, someone could potentially commit an offence one game, score a hat-trick the next then be banned for six weeks. It's daft.

Completely agree. I know in previous years it was blamed on the logistics of getting the footage from each club, but I'm sure that isn't an issue in this day and age (especially for Sky games) and should really be addressed rather than the Championships being treated as an afterthought.

I asked Tubbs after the game and he said that the disciplinary will be in time to ban him if he's found guilty, which, let's face it, he will be.

Shouldn't be. It's in the week ended 25th September so should be heard on 4th October.

They're bound to move the goalposts for the grand final.

You reckon ?

With all the grounds for legal action ?

No chance.

I hope you're right Griff.

Bu99er.

You're right.


It's the next available meeting in the Grand Finals series.
