Dufty can be a bit "excitable" he's bound to cop a ban sometime. We need to be prepared for playing without him & if we lost Williams as our attack is so reliant on them.

It may not be everybody's opinion on the Board but it wouldn't bother me if Dufty sat out a game with a ban. He has played in all but one of our matches this season and I think it would be interesting to see how we cope without him. Taylor-Wray could come in at FB, he is an exciting player and could do with some game time. Alternatively if you want to be more conservative, move Thewliss to FB, Lindop to wing, Bateman to centre. It would be good to see our options before we hit the playoffs when bans / injuries to critical players could disrupt our preferred options.

I think he'll cop a ban for the tip tackle that wasnt and fine for the ball throw. I think we will appeal though and it will be quashed.

Think it will be a busy session this week.

Hope Marshall the rat cops a ban his playacting after his try was just awful and his gymnastics after the Dufty tackle are just a couple of incidents is why despite his talent he is just plain awful.

i'd quite like to see thewlis get a run playing the dufty role for williams, we've not experienced that yet

Re Sims I think he'll cop a ban but it may be less than Vaughan because the ref was constantly telling the Player to get back up.

Re JT CTW id prefer to keep josh on the wing, but wouldnt be gutted if he went to fb nice problem to have

I’d like to see Thewlis given a run at full back, however I think injuries will dictate Thewlis needs to stay where he is for now. Chambers was speaking at a Scholarship meeting a few weeks back, he’s sees Taylor-Wray as the future at full back.

granted the previous managment had dedcided this, but dufty was supposed to be short term before thewlis slotted in at fb.

the new management, may see the potential in taylor-wray and thewlis may think he's doing a decent job and stick on the wing

I`m a big fan of Taylor-Wray, but would like to see him play the occasional 1st team game now, to see how he copes in Super League outside his current comfort zone.

Not everyone makes the cut when playing against grown men.

The London game gives us an ideal opportunity to do that.

As someone has already touched on, these kind of problems are the best to have. Lindop also comes into team selection difficulties.

Was a reserve fixture this weekend did we not take advantage of the loophole and include Harrison in it so he could be available this week.

The Loophole only exists when the Reserve Team play on a weekend that the 1st Team don`t have a game.

Fair but I call bull on it because it was ok to play 2 games over Easter weekend till recently. And it’s not like player welfare comes into it as he is banned anyway.

he's come on well this year, i thought he looked a bit undersized opening game of the season against catalans

Common sense prevailed, of course some opposition fans will not be happy. Sims and Lomax in big trouble although Saints fans won’t be to unhappy about Lomax being banned I guess.
