Professional foul

why is it that a player is only sent for 10 minutes for a professional foul only on the first tackle after a line break? When Jennings made the line break off the Avu tackle bust Newcastle gave away two penalties slowing down our attack but no sin bi

Ma'u disallowed try

1. How can the bunker overule on that footage. I saw no deviation of the ball. Can't tell from a 2D picture how close two things are in 3D2. Even if Moses did knock on, the Knights player clearly knocked on first. Why was it not our scrum feed?

It's all preparation

Respect for the skipper.

The team tonight really showed how much respect they have for our so called captain and leader.  His 200th game and thats what they dish up.
