Last paragraph addresses the ‘frivolous’ nature of the appeal

Essentially, any high shot is a Grade A minimum even if minor and accidental and despite Martin clearly just attempting to wrap the ball up. It was not a swinging arm with a closed fist.

Don't argue the ban or provide footage of similar incidents as it will be ignored, albeit they may show their own footage which they will consider.

Sam Kasiano struck it lucky then. Perhaps the panel used their wisdom and determined that the thing attached to the top of Brad Dwyer's neck is not his head.

It's just mind boggling that Martins is a two game ban and Kasiano is 0

According to Wilkin and Tomkins of all people on sky sports news it deserved a ban and was a frivolous appeal. If by some miracle we win on Friday I would be doing thr bare contractual minimum with sky they can stick the rest.

i'll be honest I don't think we have any real chance on Friday now so just hope we take a few of them down with us. Especially Kasiano who shouldn't even be playing.

I'm not optimistic about us being able to get out of our half with great success and consistently enough on the back of carries from Briscoe and tindal. It could be a long old night if the passes don't hit the mark and there's a lack of bodies moving around the ball like last weekend when we were too passive.

Yep, looks like a match too far to me. Think they'll give it their all but come up 12 to 14 points short. That said, Rohan’s lads already have a bit of a mystique about them. If Catalans don't do well early they will feel the pressure.

I hope we take them off their game and get into the ribs of Tomkins, when they lose their discipline they turn to sht, we need to put them under that pressure.

I’m quite confident we can turn them over, but on the other side of the coin just want this season over.

If I had that confidence about Friday I'd want the season to go on as long as possible because this game and these circumstances is about as tough as it gets at this stage. if we could win and survive any more injuries or suspensions (I know) I'd really fancy us in the next round. But I don't so I'll probably settle for a gritty performance with a bit more promising cohesion and Tomkins to be given a good working over.

Don't think cats have been owt special this year - reckon we'll do em. As for anyone feeling wound up by wilkin's nonsense, here's a bit of therapy. 3m 8s in, or thereabouts https://youtu.be/4Qc7rv6Wjkk

Ah Keith. The best centre this country has produced in 40 years, nobody has come close since he retired.
