Because no Catalans player challenged for the ball.

No Hudds one did either. They were almost identical situations. Apart from the teams benefiting were different.

Stop winding up our friends from over the common. It’s the season of goodwill.

Fev would be great for us (and them), no question but, what about the bigger picture and attracting investment into the game.
They are not exactly and advertisers dream and whilst we would get two very good derby fixtures out of it, which we could certainly do with (assuming that fans are allowed to attend), do you think that their inclusion is a forward step for the game overall ?

The bigger picture matters in the good times. I’m not being sarcastic but there is a pandemic and it will be followed by a financial meltdown. As a sport we will be lucky to survive as the cake gets ever smaller.

Now we concentrate on core actives so that if or when things improve we are then on a position to move forward.

Yeah alright old boy, lets just accept high shots then, doesn`t really matter about player welfare does it, maybe they should stop being soft prats? Again, the likes of Ian Roberts should stop being soft, after all its only brain damage isn't it?

Concussions are becoming a massive part of our game, they were before, fortunate now science highlights it and we can do something about it to help protect our players from developing conditions like CTE, we have introduced the HIA tests and the mandatory rest periods which is a step in the right direction, some we cannot control but the majority we can in terms of contact with the head, which by the way is illegal in our game - But lets get "Stuck in" with the head shots for your entertainment.

Players are now speaking out about it as well, guessing they were reluctant before as they would be called "Soft prats" by idiots like you that haven't quite moved on with the times, unfortunately for you the majority have.

Very nicely explained old lad but I'm afraid idiot or not I still think your a soft prat
