3 strange ones from DOPs this weekend.

First of all Watt and Miles both get ejected for two fights each in the game between Slough
Jets and Streatham. When in fact the only fight Miles had was with Paynter and the only fight Watt had was against Soper. The Streatham highlights clearly showed no punches thrown between Watt and Miles in the mele. A minor penalty would have been enough. That means both teams end up missing those players for next weekend's league game... Worng call by DOPS.

Then what brings us on to one of the most random bans of the season. Rushby from the Lions gets hit with a 2 game ban for checking from behind, yet only a single game for an alleged homophobic slur.

We have heard the refs report says the comment was homophobic whilst other reports from the Lions say it was something totally different that was said .

So if there is enough evidence for a ban from DOPS, why is it only one game?

I don't imagine we have heard the last of this story.

Hodgkinson and Spadafora almost get into it

My guess is these two will drop the gloves this season at some point. They had been at each other all game.

Shout out to my boy Joe for the video.

This could be a huge moment in the Basingstoke Bisons season as Max Wright leaves the game with an undisclosed injury.

Hopefully nothing too serious.

We have had lots of comments about the officials recently, so we wanted to open the discussion properly

We have some questions for you:
1) What league do you watch?
2)How many games have you been to this season?
3)What have the officials done well?
4)What could they do better?
5)Rate their performances so far this season 1-10?

I'm sure there will be some negative comments. That is not why we are doing this, so please keep it respectful. Everyone is entitled to their opinions.

(Anyone getting unnecessarily personal will have their comment deleted)
