Thanks for telling us we never would of known, it’s ok for you to get back under that rock you crawled from under.

May I first say ...... Tommy 'The Flying Pig' Likeham is a flipping idiot. Can't defend what he did.

Now then, what ban will he get?.
Personally I don't care if Saint Tommy was related to the late Mother Teresa, what he did was abhorrent and if the ban for that offence is 8 matches than he should have got 8 matches. Will Tommy Lineham, with his horrendous disciplinary record ?!?!? get the full 8 matches well lets wait and see. I can't imagine that Mr. Consistency will ride up on his white stallion horse as clearly 8 matches is no longer the ban you get for this offence. Thinking about it perhaps a Gelding might be more appropriate.

Strangely ( or not) I don't really seem to be that bothered.

Ashton to the wing, Ratchford to the halves and Thewliss to FB. Lets see what the juniors can do for us.

Obsessed

You get the good and bad with Lineham.
The bad means we'll be missing him for maybe a couple of months.

We can cover for a few weeks, but I am concerned about potential injuries - especially playing 2 matches a week.

In my opinion you have to play either Ratchford or Ashton at Fullback. Either Ashton to the wing and Ratchford at Fullback or Mamo to the Wing, Ashton at Fullback and Ratchford either at 13 or Halfback.

Assuming Widdop is still out I suspect we will see your option of Mamo on the wing, King back to centre, Ratchford to HB and Ashton at FB. But I still wish Price would be a little less conservative and allow the juniors a bit more game time.

Grade F, eh?
Does that stand for fondling?

He doesn't have a badge, but a CC winners medal
Still scratching my head, as to who he helped beat, that day.
Maybe you could help in solving this conundrum, bokkler

Personally would rather see Mamo given the nod on the wing, if the rest of the pack returns that allows Gelling and King to take up the centre spots. I think Mamo’s been exceptional the last couple weeks, seems to of iron out a couple mistakes from his game and he’s always eager to take the ball in to gain yardage/make a break - he’s as electric pace wise compared to Ashton too.

The club need to get a grip with Lineham on this one IMO it was a stupid thing to do and totally unacceptable. Some mis timed tackles result in a trip to the disciplinary a player ducks its a high shot steps and its a shoulder charge etc.
There was no way on earth he was going to get away with it slow mo cameras at every angle.
Do the club take matters into their own hands and also fine him?

Makinson and lineham both charged with the same offence against Castleford. I'd say possibly retaliation against some rough treatment, not that it excuses what they've done. Are Cas a bit grubby at the breakdown?

Not really most teams have at least one person that's a bit of a twunt in a team, cas, not so much, that I cant think of just now.

Alex Foster in particular is alright, a pretty fair player, as mentioned above, tommy needs dealing with, by the club, you'd say most of his bans in the last 3 years if not all are things that were avoidable, very very poor decision making on his part.

Although, this spate of 'engine room' fouls that's going on around the league since the restart is weird, you can't tell me everyone saw the threat of 8 games with makinson and thought, i fancy a bit of that.

Stupid

If i could ban you for suggesting mamo on the wing, then I would do so, over and over again.

Grrrrrrrr

Whilst he's been in very good form recently, let us not forget his absolute inability under any kind of high ball whatsoever, almost scary, in fact.

If we have to, then we have to, but id explore every other option before that, ashton (also mot great) thewlis (not sure he can do the line clearing stuff as well)

Id probably opt for thewlis. Or maybe even brand.

I suspect a 5 game ban and the tannoy system playing something from the Nutcracker suite as the players come onto the field should be enough to warn him off.
