Hull FC • Round 6 v Huddersfield

Bit my tongue on the MRP situation, until now. It is becoming nothing short of embarrassing at this point.

I am all for player welfare etc, and Jesus, I could even tolerate the multiple sin bins you see every game now, but to then compound misery with banning a player for two matches, when essentially the attacker ran into Evans chest, is way, way over the top.

the harsh reality is, no matter how hard the RFL come down on players, high shots and late hits are going to happen in our game when 100KG, 6ft+ blokes are running into each other like wrecking balls. The game has moved on from the days of the biff. The vast majority of high tackles/late hits are purely accidental rather than purposely trying to take the other players head off.

The constant banning of the best players in the game is only going to do more harm than good for the sport.
