I would like to apologise to Smithy. I had a dig at him and said he dove for the Haggerty incident. Well after seeing it again our lad should have walked for his behaviour. Completely and utterly out of order. He will get 3-4atches for that and deserves it.

Good for you TV Boy. Takes a big man to say he is wrong.
It was all a bit unnecessary though. He'd made the tackle. The extra hit was just poor discipline.

I thought Smith hammed it up a bit t.b.h, but I put that down to his Danny McGuire schooled R.A.D.A upbringing whilst at Leeds  .
However, the inconsistencies from the officials were glaring today.
I don’t think Sio deliberately put a crusher tackle on McNally (even though it ended up as one) but Haggerty deliberately put his knee is Smiths face.

Most crusher tackles are put on report, but not sin-binned, whereas knees to the head usually result in a card of one colour or another. |

It didn't go unpunished though did it! It went on report. How many times have you seen the crossed arms this season? Too many avenues available for refs to take, in my opinion. I don't understand were their decisions come from,what warrants a sin binning/red? Crossed arms is a scapegoat and should only be used if the officials haven't seen the incident in my eyes. Aston Sims in the Warrington v Wigan game blatantly stands on the wigan players hand at the ptb,ref walks up and says to him "I saw you stand on his hand" and sticks him on report.
RFL ref ruling are too much of a grey area around these issues for me.. |

I've seen a lot of comment on the incident saying Lee Smith milked it but it doesn't take much of a blow on the chin or jaw to knock someone over or even knock them out. Milked or not milked, it was still a pre-meditated knee to the head, seen by the officials, and deserving of at least a yellow card.

I totally agree. He barely milked it to be fair, just a tad more than he should maybe?
Should have been at least a yellow card for sure. |

It should have been a red, it was a coward's hit. Child bottled it.

Only seen clips of it but it looked very soft. Well done Smith for milking it to make sure the officials saw it but I don't think it was deserving of anything more than a penalty.

To be fair to Child, he asked his linesman and was told quite clearly by the grey haired one "it was a penalty, nothing more" or words to that effect. very clear on the commentary. Personally I thought he reffed the game pretty well considering all the niggle. |

It wasn't a nudge though. It shook his head.
I thought he went down easy at first but on second look it looked harder.
Either way, it's not about how tough Lee Smith is. The guy kneed someone in the head, intentionally, outside normal play.
