Disappointing that they are unable to extend the season by 3/4 weeks. It would give the competition more integrity allowing games to be rearranged. If the date clashes with a Man U game I'm sure they could find another stadium with a big enough capacity in the North to accommodate the final.

If you extended the season, how would you work around the players contractual situations?

Yep that could well be the reason why they haven't done so.

Just watching the game on FCLive. Carlos' sinbinning looked harsh.

What actually happens when a Cats players steps forward 3 paces after being tackled and Childs tells him to get back to the mark, rather than penalising him?

I know I was only listening to a commentary, but it sounded like a crucial decision as we never saw the ball again after that.

Childs was the ref, I've lost count of the harsh sin binning we receive off him

No biased though oh no.........

Currently witnessing the poorest group of officials we've had in the sport by a long shot

Not many (5), but he made more carries than Fash, Lane and Brown. Sorry to disappoint.

Our 9 forwards made 56 carries in total.

Cats made nearly 50% more carries than we did, so there was a crazy amount of defending to do.
