Such a dumb player this bloke. His disciplinary record for a winger is atrocious.

That's it with Lineham. He's the reality of the 'Do you ever look at someone and wonder what's going on inside their head?' meme. He's so thick that were it not for rugby league forcing personal discipline and strict routine onto him he'd no doubt be in prison or worse.

It's a weird spate of these. Abdul from Hull KR has also been charged with it for grabbing James Bentley against us, although he's only a grade D, so it seems the RFL prefer players to grope from the doggy position, worth noting for players who can't resist in future. In all my years of watching RL I can't really remember many, if any, of these happening. Three in three weeks is just odd, especially given the length of Makinson's ban, you'd think they'd be put off.

It must be frustrating for the Warrington coaching staff as well. It levels up things a bit when the 3/4 should have been a massive advantage for Warrington in the game at the weekend as we've potentially only got Grace left out of the usual 3/4 line.

Early excuse alert!

Well ,apart from Lineham getting close up & personal, we had BMM a few weeks ago doing the 3 match shoulder charge ....both completely unnecessary incidents in matches. Is it a ploy to get some time off while getting paid instead of going on sick parade. All players know that incidents ,at the very least, get picked up by the match review panel & usually get punished ,so why not be squeaky clean?
As for Ratch in the halves,last week he was too restricted there & unable to do what he does best ,broken field running.

I see that Milner gets a one match ban for leading with the knees against Austin. Does make you wonder what the ref and commentators see if the panel deem it worthy of a ban.

I didn't watch the incident back to see how 'conclusive' the video footage was, I seem to remember he had the Cas Players wrist gripped to delay the play the ball, Cas Player got his arm free and stayed down. Clearly something went on, but not sure if it was obvious on the video.

If he's missing for 8 weeks that's the majority of the season gone depending on how we progress in the Challenge Cup. Given how close together the fixtures come at the back end of the year he's put the club and his team mates in a bad situation. Daft stuff like this aside I think he's been playing well, his contract is up end of 2021, I'm not sure it will get renewed if he's found guilty.

He's replaceble.

Excuses? It'll be a close game between the only two teams capable of winning a trophy this year.

My bad! ...Yes I know he isn’t the best in the air but I’m sure King could help him out at time’s to ensure he isn’t isolated as much!.. Didn’t he play near enough a full season at FB when he first came over for Hudds? So has faced a lot of high ball. I remain hopefully he’s improved in that department slightly when he gets another shot there I think his form deserves rewarding, if he does Foul up then I would slot Ashton in... I just think Mamo has more experience at this level and will do a solid job for the time being, however Ashton could well and truly make me eat my words if he does get the opportunity.

Kev Naiqama's ban overturned. Didn't see that coming, but correct decision. He must have a good boy badge like Tommy.

No, it's not like we've regularly had leniency from the disciplinary.

Indeed......... good one

8 matches for Lineham

Yikes. Any news on an appeal?
