Re: Rugby League

Yes a great game, I think Wigan were a bit lucky with a couple of decisions, but our defence is world class and Bevan French and Jai Field are extra special. We were lucky with a couple of decisions, that could have gone the other way. I thought Penrith were very gracious in defeat and especially N...

Re: Rugby League

Leeds is always a hard game for us at CP and so it proved yet again. Mid-afternoon I was wondering if it would be played at all because we had so much a hard rainfall. I know it cut up, but I think it held up quite well all things considered. Not sure why Leed's first yellow was not red under the ne...

Re: Rugby League

Felt sorry for Castleford that the sending off shouldn't have happened. I think RL should adopt the same stance as Rugby Union, were there is a 10 minute period, were there is a revue and the decision is confirmed or the player returns after 10mins. Still Wigan did a professional job and rather wor...

Well not a good start lads gave everything, but why wasn't the tackle by Smith given only a yellow when our lad was tipped onto his head ? Then we get a man sent off for a lesser tackle that a yellow should be the call. Well done HKR a great display which should see them top 6 easily this season. L...

The last 3 games at the MKM have finished 98-4 to KR !!!!!!
Not great tonight, but the final score did not reflect the game.
FC were totally stupid discipline-wise, and while we dropped the ball too often lets put that down to the weather.

Re: Blue card & sin bins

The deterrent of yellow cards hasn’t been enough - primarily because they are not handed out nearly enough or quite often officials don’t hand them out to players already booked as they don’t want the drama. The way around that is normalising it and telling people you’re doing it within the existin...

Re: Blue card & sin bins

Re: Blue card & sin bins

Will this "force" clubs to have a keeper on the bench?

A blue card for a goalkeeper will force teams to choose between putting an outfield player in goal or making a permanent substitution under planned new sin-bin trials. (Telegraph - subscription required)

Re: Blue card & sin bins

The proposed introduction of a 3rd card will make referrees' role harder, but the idea of a sin bin is an improvement. If a player gets a yellow card, there is little enough benefit to the opposition, however a 10mn cooling off for the player & penalty of having 10 v 11 would be a better deterrent....
