Doesn’t even look like a proper tackle to me, irrespective of lateness

Agree. Hurrell drops the shoulder into Dagger - no wrapping of the arms. This might not have saved Daggers collarbone, but would be more akin to a regulation tackle. And on that basis should be considered a shoulder charge?

That was a thuggish tackle by Hurrell,absolutely he could have pulled out.Deserves a hefty ban.

I’ve seen a few of them go for at least a yellow this season. Looks like a shoulder too. I’d expect a few games for that. Shame it was missed at the game and a shame it’s likely ended Daggers season.

Thought Griffiths had the making of a decent ref ( probably still has ) but he missed so much yesterday, and to say Smith was one of his touch judges, that shouldn't be the case.

Missing the Hurrell late hit and the offside try are very big errors indeed, "bad day at the office"

And the two obstructions.....

Indeed, and there was a few high shots on big dave too.

The obstruction where the saints player ran through the line and play was allowed to continue with the ball carrier making 5-10 metres was a strange call. That’s usually a penalty with so much advantage gained. They scored a try that very end of set too I think.

The following players have received a caution:

Kai Pearce-Paul (Wigan Warriors) - Dangerous Throw

and this is from the RFL discipline minutes:

'Dangerous Contact – A defending player makes contact with an opponent after the ball has

been released by an opponent in a vulnerable position which causes flexion to the head,

neck or spinal column on an attacking player, which poses an unacceptable risk of injury to

that player.'

One match ban for that!

Looking at saints 3rd try, LMS is clearly offside from Dodds kick, how is the ref and both touch judges missing something so blatantly clear?

Whilst this might be true, what are you getting at here? The RFL want us to go down? The RFL turn a blind eye for Saints?



You only ever seem to come back on here to moan.
