Yep, and this is a Huddersfield side in Watson's 3rd year with most of their salary cap dices already rolled. Watson must be so glad he doesn't coach Leeds.

He wont be coaching anyone if they carry on playing like they are.

One more thing I forgot to mention and hasn't really been over discussed on here. Tetavano, red was harsh in my opinion. It was a penalty and border line yellow at the most
I know they are cracking down on late tackles but they are impossible to eradicate due to the nature of the game, please have some discretion and common sense when dealing with them on the pitch.
Watching an NRL game now and just given a yellow for throwing a punch, can't help feeling that you would get 6 games or more here for that

Mate, the Aussie fans and media have been really critical of the judiciary for a couple of years now. They're binning every man and his dog for hip drop tackles, contact with the head, and late hits. Tetevano gets a 4 week ban over there for what he did yesterday. I'd be surprised if he doesn't get at least 3 matches, especially given his record.

The problem was the way he launched himself there was no way to pull out or adjust. He had zero control over the impact, which was always dependent on what Smith was doing the second he hit him. Put that sort of hit on a prop who's coming straight at you and it would be a tough play. Not a halfback who's looking to make a play.

Thought provoking read.

It was a good piece and has unsettled me a bit, getting wise life advice from Matthew Shaw. Ouch.

Sorry if I missed it but does anyone know how young Toby Warren is?

Salford's second half display today makes our first half display last night look like our second half display last night.

They had described the interception, just not the 20m celebration. Even being a Leeds fan, I would be happy if he tripped up the next time he does that and makes himself look a spanner. He definitely seems to have the ‘I’m all that’ attitude about him. A classic stumble and fall on his backside in a stadium full would be a great way to bring the ego down a bit.

I like a bit of arrogance. When coupled with skill and talent, it's not a bad thing for the sport. We're in the entertainment business, are we not?

He is 19, Sir Greg.
