actually at the beginning of the game Mick said maybe the game was called off due to half the stadium being without power but of course the game went ahead.

That’s correct.

I got a text saying it was touch and go right up till 14:47.

Thanks China Bull for the written commentary, Just read it all as we couldn't get any sort of internet here when match was on.. Take care over the bad Flu around your parts. Here, people are getting mighty jittery about it. Seems our defense was better than last week, will download match on Wednesday..Happy Chinese New Year to everyone.

Disciplinary panel will look at this a week on Tuesday and any bans will start from Round 2 when we are due to play York.

Is that for certain as it were a friendly rather than a championship game?

Not really a good pre-season for York overall.

Looks like only one red card from the match highlights. Second card is definitely a yellow.
Also for some reason the match 'highlights' don't show any of the biff! What a ripoff!

For games involving only Championship and/or L1 clubs the disciplinary hearing is normally on the Thursday following the weekend (Tuesdays for games involving one or more SL clubs and I'm pretty sure that's been the case for friendlies so far this year too) with any suspensions starting the next but one weekend ie it'll be R2 for any banned from the weekend just gone.

Sounds like we’ve learnt the trick Leigh used a while ago where we don’t supply the video footage. I assume sending off will be sufficient but Robinson not being available to play against us in round 2 would certainly help our chances of an upset.

Having seen the replay that's just ridculous from Robinson. The strike on the ground was unsavoury IMO then to throw a punch in a meaningless game. Bonkers.

I'd be surprised if he avoids a ban (having said that they tend not to hand out bans for friendlies as I seem to remember us and Keighley didn't get anyone banned for the 3 all in brawls from a friendly)

Need more elavation for filming the match Mick (if at all possible) looked to be a tough match altogether. Many thanks though for filming the full match..

You have to ban someone for persistent, continued violence: who first of all knees the head of a player on the ground, then hits him twice to the head when he is held by two players. You can see Elliot is trying to get away, he wants nothing to do with it. Its a basic duty of care to the players to punish such action as a deterrence. its not a quick pop/handbags at 100 yards job. But it is the RFL, and the Bulls are to blame for everything, so expect Elliot to get a five year ban and we play with 12 players for that period.

hmm perhaps a tad cynical, but was I ever thus?
