Maybe, Forber is ready now, Ratchford may be ready in a couple of years, He had a good game v Hull Reserves and has shown promise.

In fairness to the club, if the decision was made a while ago, they likely had a fit Brad O'Neill fighting out with Leeming and it was difficult to see where chances would come from for Forber. They were likely doing what they thought was right by the lad if they have indeed granted him a release to join Salford. What I do wonder is if there is any way to safeguard yourself by stipulating a release will not be given should something like a bad injury to O'Neill crop up. If they could do that and haven't then it's not good but I have no clue if that's a thing (and it may just be that financially we needed to get players off the books).

In terms of Ratchford, he looks an outstanding talent when I watch him. He is out at Rochdale playing against grown men, so he could well come in to the reckoning early next year.

Nothing for Leeming. Not even cited.

On a side note Vaughn and the lad from Hudds have got 3 matches for the red cards (the Hudds lad has actually got 4, an additional 1 for a separate incident).
Probably the going rate at the moment but we all know they would've been penalties at the most if it wasn't for what's going on off the field

It will be very interesting to see if refs treat these incidents any differently in the playoffs and grand final.

An absolute ridiculous yellow card

It was. I was never worried about a ban for that but wondered if they may give him one for the tip tackle (which would've been ridiculous but when does that stop them).

Tom Forber will be at Wigan next season.

Good move by the club but a necessary one.
O'Neil is out at the start of next season. Leeming just needs a knock pre season and if Forber had gone where would we be then?
Forber was very good at Catalan (IMO) and scored the try which changed the game.
Catalans must have been shattered going in level after their performance in the first half.

Any further details? Was there a U turn of some sort?

No U turn mate. Tom was seen at a Salford game and someone put two and two together. We need to tie this lad down.

It was the very definition of Kendal having another "we're not getting to the end of this game without some Wiganer going to the bin" moment. But I still worried the Disciplinary might back him up if only to spare his blushes (not that he ever seems to have any).
