Will be a huge following though, expect 900-1000

Just watched the game again on Centurion TV. That trip by the Rochdale player on Brierley had me jumping out of my chair it was shocking.

That trip was cowardly and should be punished with a large ban. That sort of behaviour has no place on the rugby field. It could easily break a leg.

I expect a comfortable win in fairness.

When is the disciplinary committee? He will get three matches for that challenge.

Probably not till next week for last sundays championship games.

Only 3 ? It was deliberate and could have broken Brierleys ankle/leg.



The player who did the trip should be ashamed of himself.

He's been charged with a Grade A offence which carries a maximum 1 game suspension www.therfl.co.uk/the-rfl/disciplinary/item?5148

Well I can't understand why considering the video evidence is compelling.



I wonder who decided that it was only a grade A offence ? A lenient charge in my view and shamefull.

The (according to both Hull clubs' chairmen) "Not fit for purpose" match review panel

Langley has submitted an early guilty plea and so has avoided a ban, although he now can not use an EGP for 12 months.



Luckily Kes was ok but at what stage does a 'trip' become a deliberate kick. It was a shocker from Langley. Probably 'earned' Rochdale a point too, Ryan had him beaten and there is nobody who'd have caught up to him if he'd gone through.

The key is in the "reaction to an opponent", he was flat footed and swung a leg, if he had moved towards Brierley and targeted him it would have been a more severe punishment. It did look bad because you don't see it very often but it would have only been a free kick and possible yellow card in football.

It was the last minute of the game so a red card wouldn't have made a difference but it was bad and probably deserved a match or two.



It was the cynical nature of it that got me annoyed. He did it to avoid losing a bonus point (and succeeded) but if we had been losing by 2 and he had hacked down Brierley who looked set to score a winning try then there would have been (even more) uproar on here and from Rowley too i'd imagine!



Anyway, hope we smash him on Sunday, Actons gonna get yer!

Well am not sure I agree with that but will ask Baby Bro'who is a referee' what he thought.



Assume Brierley's ankle had been broken would that have made any difference ?



Deliberate trips deserve immeadiate dismissal in my opinion.
