My take on it fwiw

[ElbowGrease1973]

Yesterday’s referee was a game changer.

Hugill committee three nailed on yellow card offences in the first half, the elbow on Dawson being borderline red. He also allowed their back four to take turns in kicking Gayle and high five each other afterwards. Hugill also looked at the man and jumped into him on every single occasion and wasn’t penalised.

Hugill involved in the goals and they can’t make the change they did with 10. Contrast that with the two challenges Livermore got sent off for against Wigan.

Bang on.

While the offences were going unpunished, it gave their players licence to commit more offences. They could have had 3 or 4 yellows before their first card. It played into their hands. Still onto the next game, when hopefully we won't be handing out any further gifts.
