Every cloud has a silver lining, and I hope this one does. Hock, Mossop and Tuson will have a week or two off and it will hopefully keep them that little bit fresher come the business end of the season.

Gives some of the younger lads a chance to step up and gain valuable experience. Leed's and Catalan are going to be 2 tough games for us.

I wonder how big Jim Mills would get on in todays game ?

It was nothing but a cheap shot from Moose

Different game isn't it. Professional as opposed to semi-pro and now with a disciplinary committee that can seemingly have it in for a player but strangely not others with similar reputations. So I guess it would depend on which side of the fence Jim ended up on. One of the favoured few who can get away with it or a target if they step out line.

Even though Mills had an appalling disciplinary record AFAIK, he was never really hammered by the RFL.

It used to be fun watching teams 'wind him up' knowing full well that at any second, it often did result in him losing his temper and getting the red card. IIRC he has the worst disciplinary record for sendings off ever in the history of the RFL.

I take your point Dave and agree, that the RFL seem to have their own favourites and I am pretty sure that 'Gaz' Hock isn't one of them. Neither were Messrs Cowie and Skerrett before him.
