Yep, I felt the intent was there. Lucky it didn't connect with jaw or cheekbone and hopefully no serious damage to the larynx

Whats everyone thinking for predictions then? I think it will be a close game but leeds to edge it for me!

Personally I think he`s lucky to be charged on a grade B .
But that`s the inconsistency of the disciplinary panel.
Should be a cracker tonight and very difficult to predict.
They`ve got the better halves and both packs look well matched with us slightly edging it.
Their backs slightly edge ours.
All depends on how the half backs perform tonight.
Hopefully Williams is still rusty and Austin doesn`t need to convince us to sign him!
Wire to win by 7.

I can see us losing tonight - it’s a very tight turnaround on a big effort against Hull.

Having said that we have some high quality rotation available so.. just need a bit of luck and the right selection.

That's a rather lazy, very overused phrase. What on earth is it inconsistent compared to?

Re: RD 17 | Warrington Wolves (H) : Sun Aug 01, 2021 5:17 pm  

To be fair selection is a constant pain with COVID and injuries without time between fixtures. See where Agar is going with the side tonight; can’t afford for Gale to have an off day looking at the 9 6 and 7 and Myler will have to get himself up in the line. I would have been tempted to rest Newman for this one and play Sutcliffe left centre.

Anyway the usual disruption beforehand maybe Agar has had his hand forced a bit. Looking forward to it.

Don't get it putting Luke Briscoe at sub unless he's going to come on for Dwyer.Surely O'Connor would have been a better option.

Maybe he is thinking he will take Newman off given the injury or maybe a back is carrying something. Briscoe has covered hooker before and a bit more coverage for a number of positions

Looks very strong that wire team, it'll be a tough ask and I hope Gale manages his point to prove in the right way. Still think we'd get more change out of zane starting him off the bench and having a strong fresh prop rotation.

Are you Marty in disguise?
Unfortunately I don`t keep a track on all that goes on with the disciplinary.
I just note them as they happen and it appears some are more/less lenient than others.
Deliberate use of the forearm head high in my opinion is much worse than a slightly late hit to the shoulder of an attacking player.
One gets 1-2 the other got 4.
