Mellor, Gale and Thompson all banned.

The inconsistency continues

Will do very well to get two points on Thursday. I might be wrong but I believe we are yet to register a win without Gale. Will be playing without a spine once again. Need our senior players to show a bit more restraint when provoked.

Massive test this on Thursday. A win by any means will do. No halfbacks. Is Myler available?

He posted an X-ray on Instagram last night that said his finger wasn't broken

Gale wants his @rse kicking by the club.
This is the second time this season his indiscipline has meant we have no half for games.
Doesn't matter how many times he gets taken out. Throw punches and you get banned.
Down on numbers due to covid and injuries, yet we still shoot ourselves in the foot with poor discipline.

Injuries and suspensions aside, it is Leigh. If tetevano, prior, Mik, king and Holroyd are all fit I’d run over them down the middle early on then it wouldnt matter if we had Jordan tansey at 7. Hopefully by 50-60 mins prior and Mik and rest up.

Myler; Broadbent Briscoe Edwards Briscoe; Leeming Sutcliffe; Oledzki Dwyer Prior; Martin Walters; Tetevano. Holroyd Donaldson Vuniyayawa Gannon

Tindall / Hall / O’Connor / Smith

If Myler out then Broadbent to FB & Hall / Tindall on the wing. Would be nice to have Lui or McLelland playing though given the lack of halves.

No sign of edwards starting centre given hall has made the 21 ahead of him.

Be interested to see the video footage the RFL have reviewed to determine that the Gale incident warranted more than a yellow. Without footage, how can they further punish as the refs have already dealt with it.

Likewise, why was Mellor not penalised or sent off if he made contact with Hicks? Did Hicks not feel it?

As for Thompson, he ran in and took around 5 punches without throwing one. Red was harsh nevermind a ban.

They will have gone off the match officials reports.

Once again discipline has cost us. Weve got to learn at some point.

If it's based on the match officials, then why was he not red carded during the game?

By sounds of it, he deserves a ban but surely the match officials can't change punishment when they did not deem it a red inplay.
