If Cust scores we go in 12-8 up at the break with a man advantage for a few more minutes at the start of the second half. More importantly those two minutes of madness, which followed the Cust no-try, don't happen.


Think, in that scenario, we settle down a little after the break and most likely grind out a win. But that's all ifs and buts unfortunately. Really brassed off with how the afternoon has panned out.

Yes of course..... he was sin binned!

I think union gives a yellow card which can then be upgraded to a red when the incident is reviewed during the 10 minute card period.   Seems a sensible approach and takes the pressure off to make an instant decision

Couldn’t agree more. Only issue is that it may make it an easy decision to use the yellow. On field decisions remain vital so this where we need more from touch judges who seem to do very little. The furthest away they can be is 40 yards but whos to say they need to stay welded to a touchline which could be VR decision where there’s doubt on inplay orout of play. Just a thought

The default position should be a yellow unless it's absolutely certain it's a red.  The yellow can then be upgraded to red on review by the VR.

Cartwright got it right when he said a red should only be given for deliberate foul play, not accidental clashes like cust
