How long is Junior out for ?

Think till April

Just watched on Wigan tv.

Highlight for me was Smith think he was outstanding as was Wardle.

Mago excellent going forward but he’s a target in defence due to him consistently being a late retreater. Hull went at him a few times, a sharper attack will take advantage.

Scrappy first half and a better second however Hull were poor after initial promise. Big pack and Pele put himself about but their drop off in intensity and fitness was very concerning from their point of view.

Just waiting now for the disciplinary to hand out some 3 match bans

Keighran will definitely get some sort of ban.

To be fair deservedly so. I was surprised he didn't get a yellow

I find it crazy how much people love a good banning session.

It was pre season & no one got hurt. No need to see players miss important matches for something trivial.

Slap on the wrist and nothing more

I agree but unfortunately common sense won’t be applied.
I think Huddersfield have had 2 players receiving bans from friendly games so the precedent has been set.

Then it's hypocritical.

The OP mentioned that no card was shown, even though one probably would have been handed out in a "regular" game. On top of that, if it was a regular game, we'd probably have seen a yellow for the 3/4 offsides we gave on our own line.

You can't on the one hand be lenient in the game and then not in the disciplinary. You either accept players are rusty and let it slide, or you don't.

I’m not disagreeing but I fear the worst particularly if Huddersfield players have had bans relating to friendly games.
Hope I’m wrong.

Keighran needs to get these tip tackles out of his game.

Correct. I hear SP and get where he’s coming from in that the disciplinary are being far too over zealous, especially in friendlies but that was just lunacy from Keighran. To cost his team in a GF by doing 2 of those tackles was poor on his part but to then follow it up with another in his first tackle for his new club was something my eyes struggled to believe.

Why won't it be Isa and Farrell?
