I cant remember a game this year where Luke hasnt been smacked around the head at least twice. Always seems to finish a game with blood on head/mouth

Any word on Wrenchy as well?

Given that it's pretty certain that Barlow got just a yellow and Sky made a 'boo boo', you think there's any chance they may recognise that mistake during tonights game and just slip in 'Btw, to those watching Championship rugby last night, during the scuffle Sam Barlow was shown to have been sent off, sorry for the confusion it caused etc.'?



No, i don't either

Sky commentators don't do apologies so to apologies to Fax would make them choke.Perhaps that not such a bad idea!

I'm sure it was a yellow card the Ref showed Sam!! I remember somebody asked me at the game and I said it was yellow!! But Sky said red card!1

if you read the rest of the posts, Sarah has officially confirmed from the club, that it was a yellow not red.

A member of the press confirmed it to me earlier today, I presume it was highlighted at the press conference.

Dont be daft!



They were happy to royally slate us on Boots n All for allegedly playing Whitehaven with 46 men on the pitch for an hour and a half; the day after the RFL noted exactly what had happened and that we did indeed on have 13 on the pitch but nowt was ever said the week after.

I think it was a yellow that Barlow got.

And yet we have NO players charged or suspended from the brawl

RFL website updated - Barlow charged and to appear on the 10/8 - sanction carries 2-3 match ban.
