Benny I feel will get two matches unless the disciplinary take into account all the high/grapple tackles and goading he had to withstand, as the fracas broke up Webb did lean back to Benny with something to say, I don't think it was sweet nothings, but you can not follow a player and start a fight.

Price will feel lucky if he gets a one match ban, a game full of niggle, not the best.
