Club falls short on discipline shocker.
We've seen bans already for this offence. Either the coaching staff aren't flagging up the things that attract bans or the players aren't taking heed.
Hopefully Smith picks up on these seemingly small details, and all the others, and puts it right. Because there's absolutely no need.

It would help considerably if there were any sort of consistency - Percival walking away with no ban whatsoever when his head shot against Sio is far worse than any of the high tackles we've had players banned for (bar Bentley's first). I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it really does feel like we as a squad have been judged under different rules this season.

When you dont have the momentum you dont get the descisions.

Out of interest does anybody have the stats that show how many games have been missed by players per club due to bans?
I bet we are pretty near the top.

I think we are the top!!

Wahey!
We could win something this year then
Watch Luke Gale go and spoil it and pip us at the post.

Very clever use of the rules by Leeds Rhinos, made him available for under 18s that week so he’d be able to use it as a suspension, meaning he only misses one SL game v Salford.

Update.

Walker - 4 weeks
Fusitua - full training return
Newman - 4 weeks
Sutcliffe - full training return
Sezer - 3-4 weeks
Prior - 2 match suspension
Bentley - return this week
Tetevano - return this week
Mellor - full training return
Myler - full training return
Holroyd - full training return
Briscoe - 10 weeks
Gannon - 1 match suspension
Johnson - full training return
Hardaker - full training return.

Good to see the club giving a proper update.

Does that mean the players returning to full training are available for Salford?

Guess that depends how they shape up in training!

Not sure it gave us that much of an update to be honest. We all knew the players which were close to a return and the post does not really address whether they are now available. They might need to complete 2-3 weeks full training before returning?

Hope the 3 to 4 weeks for Sezer does not morph into operation required. Otherwise very good news.

Possibly not a surprise that some injuries clear up when the new coach arrives....

As the reserves play on Saturday and the Salford game is on Sunday, can the reserves game be used as the second game.

Anybody watched the Nrl thia weekend. They are much more lenient on the 50/50 contacts and fraction late hits than insuperleague.The matches are so much better fot it as well.
Be interesting to see what rules we play in the world cup.
