8 matches for Lineham

Yikes. Any news on an appeal?

Lineham has received 8 games

Edit - Big Dave got there first

May the farce be with you.
Honestly, you couldn't make this up.
Is SL to be the next instalment of the 'Carry On' series of farces. Should be hilarious as Tommy cries Infamy ...... you know the rest.

Makinson gets 5 games with a lot more evidence against him than lineham who gets 8. I just don't understand the disciplinary process at all. This is the length of the ban unless we like you in which case we will reduce it!

Lineham deserves the ban for being stupid but I really don't understand the lack of consistency.

Makinson’s ban was reduced because his exemplary disciplinary record was taken into account whereas Lineham’s attrocious record went against him. It’s fair enough for me. Lineham is a liability. He constantly lets us down doing something silly. If I were the club I’d fine him also.

Makinson's ban reduction was nothing to do with his previous record they just changed the grading despite clear evidence that it was a Grade F offence.... very odd. Lineham is a fool but there was less evidence of his crime than Tommeh's. Absolutely farcical.

It's somewhere in the middle "The St Helens winger was originally charged with a Grade F Other Contrary Behaviour by the RFL disciplinary, but at the Tribunal hearing the offence was deemed a Grade E. The Tribunal believed the incident merited a six-match suspension. However Makinson’s previous good record, plea of guilt and clear remorse were taken into account in determining the punishment of a five-match ban and a £500 fine."

Really they should be forced to stream the disciplinary proceedings in the pursuit of transparency and fairness. It would have been gold watching Makinson drop to his knees, clutch his heart, a tear rolling down his face as he gushes his way through a heartfelt apology to Liam Watts.

Lineham probably walked in chewing gum, winked at the receptionist, smirked when they read out the charges and pleaded, "Dint do owt, canna go now?".

Deserves it with no argument for him. Ratch to Fullback and Ashton on the wing in place of lineham, job done.
I love Lineham and think he's a brilliant Winger but he is a t!t with stupid he does all the time

Lineham is a clown. I like him, but he is a clown. And this is unforgivable...especially in current circumstances with soooo many players in and out of the squad....I hope the club does fine him....stupid muppet.

What a surprise... Naiqama gets off...funking joke.

So, Ashton to wing Ratch back to full back, Austin & Widdop in the halves.

Would of course mean Mamo making way, which would seem harsh given his performances - but then Ashton doesn't really deserve to be dropped either.

Could have Mamo on the bench I guess, but I always see it as a waste of a bench spot sometimes.

Be interesting to see how Ashton does on the wing if that's where he ends up, they get through a lot of work these days.

Ashton to wing, ratchford to fullback. I wouldn't change the centres or 2nd row at the moment. Hughes Or Jason clark to LF. Hill, clark, widdop, philbin all back in. Harsh for any that miss out, they've all done a great job for us.

1. Ratchford
2. Ashton
3. Gelling
4. Mamo
5. Charnley
6. Austin
7. Widdop
8. Hill
9. Clark
10. Cooper
11. Currie
12. King
13. Murdoch-Masila

14. Latu
15. Philbin
16. Walker
17. J.Clark

I'd love to see Mamo at centre with Ashton on the wing, the speed of these 2 is immense. Mamo making a break with Ashton Supporting or Mamo getting Ashton in to space is frightening and we'd score a shed load of tries.
