STAPLETON BANNED

Salford's Craig Stapleton has been suspended for one match after being sent off for foul and abusive language following his side's defeat by Catalans Dragons last Friday.

Prop Stapleton, who has also been fined £300, was dismissed by referee Phil Bentham for comments made soon after the final hooter of the engage Super League clash at The Willows.

Salford were beaten 18-16 after a last-minute try from Casey McGuire.

Stapleton, 30, who is leaving the club at the end of the season, will miss the Reds' trip to Harlequins on Saturday.

Bugger! looks like an excellent day on paper but I'm working all weekend!! Time to make sure the laptop has a full charge!!!!!

What a shame! Stapleton is one of the game's true characters.

I couldn't agree more He's been a top pro for us.

To be honest for a professional like him, and lets be fair he's been around in the game on both sides of the world for long enough, he's a player that's always fair, doesn't get into any aggro with the opposition and is rarely penalised, so you've got to wonder how bad the ref was to get him so annoyed as to come from the bench at the end of the game and snap at him.

I'm not condoning him for his actions by the way but it makes you think....

Sorry the main point of my posting which I completey missed off

My main concern is it's the first day of the Premier league and of course the Championship has kicked off, as BroncOnIon has posted on the Turkey it's the Twickenham 7's I'm more than a little worried about traffic issues.

I know you guys have to travel to us on a Friday and thus have to take a day off but you do have 'til 8PM to get to the game
