One of those games. Annoying that we lost and don't want to blame the ref and officials too much but pretty clear to me that if we'd been at HQ we'd have won. Losing Croft really hurt us and just hope thst it's not a long term problem. Young Lumb is really getting targeted and while I feel that some of the errors he made tonight were forced through their smart tactics, there should probably be a point where we give ECW a shot. Bigger picture is: we look like a proper rugby league side for the 1st time in ages, and if we stick at it the rewards will come. Get Brad Arthur signed up now.

From what I can tell from the disciplinary notes Palaasia isn't even mentioned. 
Dufty and Vaughan are the only players named from the Wire game. Not sure if that means sin binning was sufficient or that he has been found blameless?

Means there was absolutely nothing with it. As everyone with eyes already knew 

Sin bin sufficient is what they are saying.
Clearly gives them a cop out to say he did something wrong but with limited action against him.

Yep, if he'd actually made contact to the head with shoulder he'd have been cited. 

The initial reaction of the Sky commentators was that it was a good legal hit.


On the slow motion replay Palasia's head is impacted first. I don't know if this is significant but it suggests it's a little more complicated than Palasia being a straightforward aggressor. 


In the aftermath of the tackle I thought the referee might have awarded us something because of Fitzgibbon looking for 'afters'.

What's frustrating for me is how well we played, to come up with nothing... Oh well, if they keep it up we should be able to see more wins in due course. You never know with Leeds though.
