If he has no previous then they may give him a 3 or 4 match ban with part or all of the ban suspended.

I think though that he will probably get a part suspended ban as no punishment was carried out on the field against the player. Maybe a 4 match ban with 2 suspended or even a 3 match ban with 2 suspended.

I agree that the disciplinary should sit in the week following the alleged transgression - others may just think you're running scared and want him banned before he smashes your pack to pieces .

He'll eat Shirley and Tampons for his supper.

Tamghart was ineffective last year at Widnes, he got dominated by their pack. This could mean he has something to prove which could be interesting.

Be interesting to see if Calland goes with 3 props on the bench once more like he did against Sheffield.

I would go this way if I was him.

We do have a much stronger pack this time out and although we got the better of you last year it's no given that we'll do it again.

Hopefully we'll have another enforcer back in Pickersgill but even if not we've been doing ok without him so far.

The closer this one gets the more I'm getting 'up for it'.

See you Thursday fellas!

Franky, Wrench, Maloney and Tamghart are all in good form at the moment IMO. The problem is our two "starting" props are both... just not there yet. Not sure Cherryholme being dropped last week was a good idea, thought he had a belting game against Ovenden. And again Aizue having to miss half the Batley game due to the cut wasn't great. It'll all come in time, but will they be ready for tomorrow...

Having wtched the incident a couple of times, I'd have to say I am astounded he wasn't sent off at the time.

There can be no mitigation for that challenge, unless he can prove he was spat on by Barlow it simply cannot be considered as part of his defense.

As for the disciplinary, 6 matches is suitable for what was an assualt on a player not involved in play. Knowing how limp wristed our governing body is he will probs get 4 max.

Sod's law says he will have a blinder against you lot on thurs...

If that is the case then they should both be hauled over the coals and punished accordingly!!!

Toa isn't playing, and neither is Pickersgill. They're lucky Haggerty is allowed to play otherwise they'd have a big issue in the forwards.

Not really, even if Haggerty was missing we still have Gannon/Kavanagh/Davies/Houghton.

Kids against Dom and The Beast? - Hope it doesnt ruin them for the rest of the season!

If you are good enough your old enough.Houghton is a good player and fears nobody.

Oh get a grip, he'd have to do a game sometime. And i'll have you know he's one of the most up-and-coming ref's the rfl have got, it won't be long before he's doing SL games.

I hope TKL is playing, he's the weakest link!
