Our attack doesn’t look fluid but neither does Saints from what I have seen, their forwards got on top and won both of their games against Leeds and Walmsley is looking good but I am confident our props can go up against Saints props now and come out on to, Bell being out is a bit of a blow for them, I think he’s a bit of an unsung hero for them.

For Byrne that is.

The MRP isnt fit for purpose and we all know that

For what it's worth, I think the only challenge out of the 3 in question that had any form of intent for dirty play is the one that didn't get a ban. For me, that sums up the current mess.

Byrne had zero intent for a high tackle - 4 match ban.
Lees had no intent to bang heads with Thompson (despite the nonsense on here from someone suggesting it wasn't accidental) - 2 game ban.
Dupree deliberately elbows Lees - nothing.

Strip away the shambolic system we have; if Byrne and Lees didn't get bans this weekend and Dupree did, I genuinely don't think any RL Supporter of any club would complain.

Accidents aren't allowed to happen anymore according to the RFL disciplinary and it's all about end result. All the proof we need in regards to that is that Byrne gets 4 games for accidental contact, whereas Franklin Pele gets 3 games after opening night for trying to smash Minchella in to next month with a forearm/fist smash to the face. Intent seemingly doesn't come in to things and that's all part of the lottery it's become.

The Dupree one clearly wasn't an accident but what I will say is that the motion of what he does is to try and offer himself some form of protection. That sort of action has been getting on my nerves for a couple of years however and it's dangerous. I'd have given him one game for it tbh (and gone back and retrospectively given Matty Lees 37 games for the times he's done it this past few seasons...sorry, couldn't resist )

This.

I just wish one, or a few clubs collaborating, pushed back against the MRP in someway.
