Got something to discuss about RL in general? Then this is the place to post it.

That sending off is absolutely ridiculous, an accidental clash of heads and one player sent off.
If this is the future of the game then I am out.

Carney and Wilkin have gone ballistic on that disgraceful decision and rightly so.
What the hell are the RFL doing to the game.

Completely agree, this is ruining our game, complete accident, yet last night the head high tackle by Leeds on Gildart is yellow only

That red card in the Wire game is the worst decision I’ve ever seen. Not sure how they can even play this second half because there’ll be a red card every 5 minutes if that’s the new law.

Good match ruined.

You should see the penalty try the Wolves have been given because the contact ended up on the head, not first contact. Absolute crap!!!

Two rounds in and all the talk is about how the game is being refereed and not what great games we have just seen.
I despair.

The Hull man held up over the line in the first half was aided by the fact he was tackled high in the initial contact by the Wire player
