The match review panel hearings for Championship games take place on Thursdays but the bans don't come into place until the following week regardless of whether players accept any sanction handed out or challenge them (in which case the Operational Rules Tribunal hearing takes place the following week - I think on Tuesdays, but that might be wrong).

So if Lino gets, say, a 1-game ban, he would still be able to play this weekend, but will miss the Challenge Cup game the following weekend.

He reminds me a bit of Lewis at KR, always looking what may be on and happy to take on the line and plenty of guile.
Hopefully he'll have a good game on Sunday.

I said the same thing other week that he’s got some Mikey Lewis about him.

Looked very direct and sharp in training. Can see the Lewis comparison though Lewis is fairly stocky, Lawford is still pretty slight but I'm sure
Will bulk up as the years go by

Absolutely, it was certainly the style of play that I was likening to Lewis though I can see as you say Lawford feeling the benefits of full time training as time goes on.

Was Bain training today, wonder how far off he is. Think Powell said be ready for first game of season or there abouts.

Info from this morning.....
Liam Kay said he's back in 4-5 weeks, Lino said he's available for Sunday, Galey being rested, Jerry missing today, Powelly said we have a few that will be missing and Lachlan limping but only due to blisters!

Lino will probably go missing as well

3 match ban, starts after this weekend.

Watching the video … I would suggest both touch judges were looking at the referee when the incident involving Lino happened… perhaps the same touch judge that missed the spilled ball forward and made up a post scoring foul on the Siddal try..:

Very shaky evidence to say the least!

Again it will be good to see how the team fare without Lino. Last season, in the Ashurst testimonial and the 50 minutes or so last week, we looked a more cohesive attacking unit without his erratic skips, dummies and runs complicating matters.

His effort can not be doubted but I feel he hinders more than helps.

Pretty much my take but I’ve wiped the slate clean with him and looking forward to seeing how he goes this season.

Probably going to be Lino and Lawford this week. Be interesting to see how they work together as if we get back to SL they could be next seasons halfback pairing.
