P M sin bin seemed a poor decision from what I could see shoulder hit first then bounced up not deliberate should have been play on in my opinion.

The obvious play acting done by players needs stamping out penalise them for it and it will soon stop.

It was a good decision so that he wouldn't be deemed as being biased because the ref is a local Leyther. After saying that, we were very poor today. The occasion got the better of us, and that will just not do.

Nonsense

So go on, why did he give a yellow then?

And yes, we are a lot better than that.

Not his best game yesterday

Yes it was, I said that a few times during the game.

Toronto are not after signing him are they?

Dangerous tackle, yellow card.

Afraid that's the way I saw it too. Mind you, based on previous disciplinary cases, Russell is likely to cop some of the blame for side-stepping!

For what it's worth, I'm, not sure we would have held them out at that stage, even with thirteen men. They had built up pressure and were on our try line.

What did he do wrong, a solid FB performance up to the sin binning - which seemed extremely harsh to me

Agreed Col.

I think most referees could have deemed a penalty sufficient. It looked like Pete, whilst wrong footed, connected with Russels shoulder and accidentaly slid up. No intent. No worse than Actons high shot, or Patersons on Acton for that matter.



That said I accept the officials deemed it worthy of a sin binning and that is that.

And that leaves us with 13 on the park, and more than likely 2pts,and that's what matters.
