It’s a strange one. I suppose it’s possible that whoever gave Radford the controller for that wheel of fortune graphic, sought to blind the world to the obvious try/no try injustices by giving Wells some of the black and white sycophancy pills that James Smailes presumably takes b.i.d.



Alternatively, he’s not forgiven us for signing Danny McGuire, the man who more than any other (excepting perhaps Zak Hardaker) shattered the Castleford dream in 2017. I imagine Wells returning to his small terraced house in Barnstoneworth that night and crying out in anguish to his wife (played by Gwen Taylor in her late 70s pomp) ‘24-6... 24 bloody 6!’ Before smashing up their furniture and throwing the clock from the mantelpiece through the window.



Those would be my initial lines of inquiry, anyway.

I think he felt a moral duty to balance the scales after the insane comments from that idiot Clark, who was probably wearing a red and white shirt. The guy really does hate FC. Well done Mr. Wells for having a sense of fair play.

Thank you

I've had to explain to the same person what "foul to the head" means. And who claimed it was one.

The guy doesn't appear too bright.

The HDM article is clearly wrong...



"the disciplinary process for the Good Friday games will not take place until Wednesday".



If they'd said that any punishment would not take effect until after Monday, then fair enough.

Offences normally get charged on a Monday then get reviewed on a Tuesday. I'm assuming the charges for good Friday were done yesterday, the Easter Monday offences will be charged on Tuesday then all will be reviewed and bans handed out on Wednesday?

I hope he does

Still cant see anything wrong with the tackle.The arms are high accross the chest but well below the chin and head.Its more of a chest to chest tackle rather than shoulder.

The player was up quickly and didnt need attention so there is no way he was hit on the head.

I don't think so.



The RFL website says.....



Following the Round 8 Betfred Super League games over Thursday and Good Friday, =#0040FFthe Match Review Panel have issued the following penalties:



Bureta Faraimo (Hull FC) - Grade B High tackle - 1 Match Penalty Notice

Zeb Taia (St Helens) - Grade A Trip - No Further Action



=#0040FFWatts received his "3 match penalty notice" on the Monday.

Watts had until 11.00am on Tuesday, March 6 to challenge the Penalty Notice.

I've looked at it again and there is contact but still not sure it's a red and certainly does not warrant a game ban either given the near whole match off the field as punishment (as already mentioned by others).

Also penalising on outcome is a rubbish way to decide the severity of the penalty, just because a player gets up quickly doesn't mean that there wasn't a more heinous or reckless attempt than one that had a worse outcome but the attempt was just a careless action but with other unpredictable factors (like the Ellis crusher tackle last year which was BS) or incidental contact due to factors beyond physiological control - well unless you remove tackling from rugby completely.

I am confused about the ban. RFL website says penalty notices (effectively bans) come into force at midnight following their issue - I would assume that means he misses Monday. But with the RFL nothing is ever clear!
