Well, what a strange night for rugby league.

We were warned the crackdown was coming on repeated ruck infringements and any contact with the head or neck.

But eight sin binnings in two games and six separate incidents in which a Broncos player was placed on report? I don’t think even the zaniest rugby league scriptwriters could have predicted that.

I can’t wait to hear the thoughts of Brisbane coach Kevin Walters, who might be tempted to come off the long run in his press conference.

To recap, the Tigers gave their fans a bit of hope after an upset 36-18 win over the woeful Knights in the first of eight matches for the weekend while the Sea Eagles ran rampant with a 50-6 belting of the Broncos.

And we’ve still got six games to go this weekend.

Good night!
