Sensational second-half performance from the patched up Bulls to secure a comeback win. Despite a squad riddled with injuries and late changes we came out on top against a very good Eagles side. The first half saw us on the back foot, struggling to find rhythm with Sheffield snatching 2 scores to put them ahead at the break. In the second half we showed grit and heart, turning the momentum in our favour to kill the game off.


Lilley was sensational again in the halves. Blake and Ok on the edge always looked dangerous and Hooley was involved in a lot of our attacking play. Shout out to makeshift pack. I thought we'd struggled big time today but everyone put a major shift in and gained us valuable metres forward. A huge result, earned the hard way.


Any news on Masi Matongo?

Ah.  just seen this.  Has anyone seen footage of it?  Seemed totally accidental.  Not sure what issuing a ban achieves really apart from persuading anyone wanting to sue the game that it's making efforts to respond to incidents where concussion occurs.    Whether a ban is the right thing is open for debate.

Disciplinary are all over the place to be honest. I know it a hard job as we all have different opinions on foul play. But when you look at the Liam Knight red card where he's escaped a ban because apparently he attempted to wrap his arms. Unless they're looking at a different angle, he definitely doesn't attempt to wrap. 


All season a late tackle on the passer has at least been points on your record. Toulouse man gets sin binned for hitting Featherstone player after that ball had gone. Got a sin-bin yet not even a single point on his record? 


Clash of heads has resulted in bans previously as defenders responsibility etc but that's usually if both players are upright. Matongo falls into Peposhi. Seems vehy harsh. 

So two players banned for head clashes this week. Da Costa earned 3 points and Trout warned 5 points. Peposhis incident was apparently 3 times worse than those as he received 15 points. Baffling. 

I found Peposhi's case on the RL Disciplinary site was the points total on another page?   2 matches and 15 points for a complete accident that was down to the ball carrier slipping a micro second before contact seems unduly harsh.   But then this is more about avoiding getting sued rather than taking a fair view of what actually happened.  https://www.rugby-league.com/governance/rules-and-regulations/disciplinary/disciplinary-cases
