I never normally criticise refs but the performance yesterday was way below standard.    You could see both sides becoming more and more frustrated as the game went on.  The temperature on the field was rising all the time and there was a lot of ill feeling at times - Brown and Donaldson nearly came to blows as they walked off at halftime.    The ref was wandering around with a big smile and seemed a bit oblivious to it all.  

I couldn't fathom why penalties for offside were so one sided when both sides were exactly the same when it came to keeping the 10m.   The ruck was diabolical at times yet I think there may only have been one six again - certainly I though Souter was unfortunate to get binned as it seems that there hadn't been any sign that it was on the cards.   Both Lawrence and Brown weren't happy with the ref and the Batley announcer (chairman?) gave the ref heaps at the end.

From an entertainment point of view it was very enjoyable.  Brown was a great pantomime villain.  

Seen the replays from two different angles of the melee, will be interesting to see how many points Manning gets and how many Holmes gets. 

Holmes may have thrown one punch but I lost count how many Manning threw. 

The ref won’t be at fault in RFL eyes even though the penalty was 10 to 1 at one point. 

When do the charges get announced?

You've done better than me mate

I've tried to work out who's starting what in various clips and can't make much out

I did see the seemingly uppercut from Manning though

Bit more than biff if you're upper cutting.

Depends on what videos we've all seen.  Presumably the disciplinary committee will watch this from multiple angles in order to get a complete picture?  From my place in the stand on the touchline I saw Manning grab Blake and hit him in the head about three times before he instinctively kicked out to get him off.  That's when Holmes flew in.  They have a wrestle with Manning throwing at least one uppercut and Holmes also striking out but not sure whether he had a clenched fist.     The rest of the players were flying in to play the usual handbags by the looks of it.
