Morley shouldn't get a ban, Jason Hooper got away with the same thing for years. As for Carvell, i don't think there was any malice, he looked like he was just trying to bump him off, it looked worse than it was, when slowed down on the replays.

If one of them did get banned though, i'd rather it was Carvell, as Moz always seems up for it against Wigan, and he always hammers Fielden with a big hit.

And then had to retire because of a shoulder injury.

Have they both been cited? How does it work these days?.. I thought we get to know prior to the hearing if they have a case to answer or not?

I thought so too but on the website its just got it after they have reviewed it.

Agreed, if Moz does get a ban, the happiest person in Wigan will be S Fielden! if Morley isn't playing, i can see it lifting Fielden and him having a decent game.

oh well, Moz'll have to have a word with Harrison and tell him to keep big Stu in check!! (or mabe even 'The Axe'!!)

They usually give it out sometime on the monday when people are in front of the panel on a tuesday, should find out sometime today who is up. Just been reading the definitions of each incident and from what I saw Morley would be looking at either a reckless or malicious strike to the head Grade C, which carries a ban of 1-4 matches and Carvell would be looking at reckless or malicious striking to the head with forearm or elbow whilst in possession of the ball, also a grade C so also a ban of 1-4 matches. 1 or 2 games for each of them would be deserved in my opinion.

that would be a first.

Both will probably be banned imo. For me Mozzers was a nothing challenge but Carv's was pretty poor use of the forearm. He approached Jackson with his arm in the correct position then moved it to a 90 degree angle and used it to clobber him.
If Moz gets a ban it will be for one of two reasons. 1. It's Morley 2. We play the Pie munchers on Saturday. It'll be even better to beat them at the HJ (again) with them missing.

I'd rather someone jabbed me with their ball carrying arm whilst lying on the floor than take a 10 metre run up and swinging arm me in the side of the head after the ball has gone.

Maybe it's just me.

On the other hand I imagine Mr Sherwin is reasonably happy not to have to sit on the sidelines for several weeks suffering from a fractured eye socket............or maybe its just me?

You mean like Stosic who played the next week without a fractured eye socket? So yes, it's just you.

Anyway, suppose we'll see. I like Moz and his biff, but that struck me as a bad one. Believe me, I want him to play against Wigan but I can't see how that can't be a ban - he followed through with a stiff arm.

Or 3. it was a deliberately malicious, head high attack on a player off the ball
