Marginal penalties for either side are also going to raise issues. Think we gave away three obvious 100% crazy ones yesterday.

Kirmonds head shot on last tackle of set that led to Catalans 2nd try.
Sio 2nd leg lift tackle.
Simons ball strip.

These leave you scratching your head and wondering what goes through the players minds.

Nothing - that is the answer by the way

Simons ball steal was so dumb. I was fuming - well, until Miller got him out of it minutes later

Pat Richrds crap goal kicking got him out of it and Annakin being alert enough to take the rebound.

Very true. Any of the 3 got him out of it really, he was bloody lucky though!

Personally, I think Pelissier should have got ten minutes for faking injury, or at the very least made to go off for a compulsory concussion check. Kirmond reached out but there was minimal contact with him, but he faked immediate concussion in a way that I haven't seen since the last time someone brushed past Danny Maguire. If he'd reacted to the contact he actually had, as opposed to going immediately limp, with eyes closed, I'm not even sure a penalty would have been given. They scored from the next set.

Pelissier is one of the most irritating players in Super League. Would love to see him in a Wakefield shirt.

Yet again dave Taylor lifted someone's legs in the tackle, wonder if something will be done about it this time?

No.

The problem with the lifting is that it's the alternative to attacking the legs for the third man, both equally bad. It seems like the choice for the third man is to break a leg or break a neck. Perhaps nothing below the waist for the third man is the answer.

The technique should be to clamp the legs together. They will just stop moving then and be taken down.

Third men who hit the legs rather than clamping them risk injuring the player. Those that drive down when they hit the leg, pretty much guarantee injuring the player.
Lifting for me is not so bad as long at they are managed down. Lifting with no control risks serious injury.
