Todays news is one where you don't really know where to turn. Someone who played such an inspiring role in my formative years and then continued that in a totally different sphere once I reached adulthood. Forever smiling too. Let's help build that centre. https://t.co/sLrox2mCNr
Is Sue's red card as bad as the Jack Ashworth shot on Mikey Lewis that landed him a monster ban? That was an elbow on a prone player so maybe not but slosed fist, swinging arm and no intent to tackle. Think he will be sat down for at least three weeks but potentially up to six.
An incident that is not given as a penalty being upgraded to a red card on review either points to rules that are so split-second and hard to officiate or a game that has been allowed to get out of the control of the official. I think both can be true in this game.
Admittedly, I don't understand how the HIA protocol works but I'd be shocked if Dean Hadley is back today. He looked to be out cold, but Junior Nsemba also seemed to be out cold in the 2024 GF and he returned.
Peters is a long-time admirer of Connor Watson. Only last year he pointed to Watson's value and versatility, unprompted, when asked about his own Swiss army knife player Jack Broadbent. Seems like he's now got his man.
BREAKING: Connor Watson has signed with the PNG Chiefs on a two year deal.
His plans for 2027 are still up in the air after being given permission to explore his options.

Inevitable. I feel for him as he's missed lots of time injured and now he's sat down for another three matches simply for an instinctive and caring reaction, but the rules are the rules especially with Stephens going to hospital.
Semi Valemei has just secured himself a three-match ban because he clearly doesn't know the rules about not touching injured/potentially injured players. Don't think there is any intent there but the precedent has been set.
The main take away from today's game is that North Wales Crusaders supporters have a team to support.
We wish North Wales all the best for the remainder of the season.
