Isn’t it madness the main discussion post game is who will be banned following week! It’s frankly a farce…….

The farce is that our players keep committing stupid fouls. I assume this is what you mean.

I think Leeming will be ok given Currie was ok. From memory, Smith wrapped his legs around the Wakie player but still had his feet on the ground so if my understanding is correct, he should be ok. Fusitua I expect to be banned, it was just stupid and not required.

If Newman's injury is hamstring related then we won't see him for a while. Hopefully, Austin passed the head assessment.

Just on Cameron Smith - he’s top tackler in SL with 167, considering he hasn’t started all the games that’s a hell of a shift hes put in

I watched the Sin Bin podcast on Our League
They keep going on about previous record but dont specify the players disciplinary record.
I think they should have a point system like they do with a drivers licence, if you recieve a ban then get points on your licence, then all will know what the players previous is like before heading in to the disciplinary process

Joke. Smith and Leeming grade B, both given one match bans. Baffled that Smith’s tackle was even considered. At worst, a warning about ‘technique’ possibly but there wasnt anything in it. And Leeming’s, well, intial contact was good and it slipped up.

Still leaves a bitter taste Fusitu’a missed 2 games this season whilst Currie got to play.

Atleast they got Jowitt right.

The more decisions that get made the more wrong the call they made on Currie looks.

I'm very much on the side of foul/dangerous/reckless play needs to be punished, but we've got two players banned for 'racing incidents' that were very much in keeping with the way the game was played and with no intent to cause harm.

Surely we've got to switch to a points based system soon if the disciplinary is going to retain any credibility.

would be interesting to to the percentage increase in bans this year. It is becoming too big a contentious talking point with all these yellows getting bans. Theres making certain steps to eradicate elements of foul play but the lack of balance is hurting the game.
