As I understand it, Friday's match is his fifth game (he can count the reserve game the weekend of the England vs. France match). He will be available for the Catalan fixture.

It would be a mistake picking him for that game.

Based on his form you could have left it at “it would be a mistake picking him”.

Indeed.

I get a bit twitchy every Monday ... cos you never know what's coming.

I’m still not sure what a “hip drop” tackle is!

Where a player tackkes a player aboue the waist from the side and swings their body around the back of the tackked player and puts their body weight on the lower limbs

Is Sironen ever off these lists? Must be the grubbiest player Saints have had in a while.

I didn’t see all of the Saints match. What was the strike by Lees all about?

The Sironen one is ridiculous.he has less that 0.5 of a second to pull out of a tackle he's commited to. There needs to be some common sense involved,if a player can't possibly pull out then just admit it and leave it. It's when they take 3 or 4 steps and then hit that it should be an issue.

hit a salford player after a knock on, in the head, salford player fell REALLY awkwardly and his foot twisted quite badly underneath him and had to go off injured, essentially high tackle on a player off the ball.
