IMHO not a bad thing. He has been doing big minutes and needs a rest. Bringing fresh players in for the 3rd game in 9 days will be a real boost to the team.

I wouldnt have been surprised to see him rested this weekend anyway. At least, by being banned, we don't have the ability to blame Baloos tactical selection if we struggle.

Maybe taai will get a run out- have him running at chase for the first 15 minutes!

Frankly I didn't think it was a bad challenge. The Salford player couldn't decide whether to play the ball or play on,so Eorl just decked him and removed all doubt.

The disciplinary may have done us a couple of favours though.

Carney is banned from the Cas game and Travis Burns will be missing from HKR
