Maybe so but then that is stupid?

We are trying to win a game here and are already one prop light.


I thought Eseh was a little unlucky and whilst he deserved a yellow the whole incident got blown up by their reaction.

Yes of course..... he was sin binned!

I think union gives a yellow card which can then be upgraded to a red when the incident is reviewed during the 10 minute card period.   Seems a sensible approach and takes the pressure off to make an instant decision

Couldn’t agree more. Only issue is that it may make it an easy decision to use the yellow. On field decisions remain vital so this where we need more from touch judges who seem to do very little. The furthest away they can be is 40 yards but whos to say they need to stay welded to a touchline which could be VR decision where there’s doubt on inplay orout of play. Just a thought
