So, that's McGuire in the stands until sometime in April.

I'm sorry, but if we are handing out 8+ game bans for name calling, whatever its nature, then we really are losing it as both a sport and a society.

Surely, if we want to set punishments for this type of thing, then substantial fines and being sent to educational courses woukd be far more beneficial for the individuals involved, considering the offences from both players involved had no bearing on the result of the match, which, for me, is only when an actual side needs punishing, as both Wire and Leigh will be here in this instance.

There is form with this, Tony Clubb got 8 matches for abusing Savelio.

Unfortunately, we live in a very very woke country/world, and if this upsets the said woke brigade because of this, (between 2 players who will make up after anyway), we are fooked.

So, one of our new signings is injured
Another of them is carrying an injury
Another of them is about to spend more time in the stand than Greg Inglis did

Business as usual, then. Good to see Thomas Mikaele is still on the Benson & Hedges fitness plan, too.

It's good to be back.

Apparently it would have been 8+ last season but the gradings have changed this year meaning that it's now 6+.

The matter will go before a tribunal next Tuesday 14th Feb.

After our away trip to St Helens at the Totally Wicked stadium, he may convert to vaping.

What does woke mean?

It's being overly concerned or sensitive to what other people are saying or doing, isn't it?

Not really. Here’s the definition:

“aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice).”

So just being a good person and interested in fairness really.

Media like the Express and Mail will use it as a perjorative term and most of their readers will lap it up.

I mean, if you're not happy about players getting injured or suspended the only way to ensure that happens is if we pack up and don't play at all.

These days you can’t even say you’re English…

I suppose this disparity has been with us for a long time really. Just compare the thug who commits murder & gets away with it because he fell out of his pram as a baby with someone who can be punished to the point of bankruptcy for a libellous comment that may hurt even the most minor, publicity hungry celebrity.
