Is that the number of bans hes had

Yeh agree, not a good signing.
Way past his best and will be a liability in this day and age.
5 or 6 years ago maybe.

I also thought Tariq Sims would be a superb signing for Cats.
And he probably will be.
But again, in the current climate it's a risk and he could be a liability and miss plenty of games.

Bans for players will have a big impact on a few clubs this year.

Agree, hopefully the referees will maintain a level of consistency. Big test will be five or ten minutes into a grand final or cup final and someone receives a high shot. Big pressure on the officials.

Both him and Burgess are quality both highly respected pack leaders who may not do the minutes they used to but what they bring to the team is alot more than a playing role, kudos KR and Hudds.

That's one way to look at it. Another is to reflect that old father time catches up with everyone and players of that age can go over the hill and down the other side very rapidly. Guess we'll find out next year.

I reckon youd have criticised Leeds if they had signed JWH for next year especially when he inevitably gets a big ban.

Yes, remember the stick Tetevano got for the multiple red cards. When he was signed, I don't remember anyone saying it was a poor choice, but in hindsight he was nowhere near the player we needed, or (Agar) thought we were going to get.

Yes and we don't have a crystal ball but as an Rl purist I'm hoping we see the best of the both players.

Tbf when Tet signed we weren't moving to a game where you had to tackle below the armpit

I fear the game will be completely unwatchable next season

If those academy games are anything to go by, it will be

We can agree on that.

It will be interesting to see which rules the WCC will be officiated in Northern hemisphere or Southern interpretation.?

They've already said that the SL rules will be 'relaxed'.

It'll be played under international rules, contact with the head will still be penalised
