If the RFL and the disciplinary panel are honest and fair then Watts should get SOS. Particularly as current & ex players are all in agreement in was not a red card and very harsh call.

As for Griffin I think he'll get a ban.

That's a big if.

Bans for both I fear and it wouldn't shock me to see Kelly in bother as well. Usual cover up for Wigan's foul play.

Is that wishful thinking on your part?

At least 2 games for Griffin a supposed dangerous tackle on TV they will want to send a message
As for Watts personally I don't think it was even a penalty but it will be classed as 3 times in a year for the same offence. I fully expect 2 -3 games for the offence plus a further 1-2 for the repetition. Hope I'm wrong in both cases but I wouldn't want to put money on it

Three images I took from games this season that I found in a matter of minutes. Inu on Taylor earlier this year, left Taylor on the ground (not injured), we scored as Watts pinched the ball 1 on 1 straight after this but nothing at all from the video ref or the RFL despite the clear raised elbow to the head.


hock 1st Round, no action taken, I mean it's fecking Hock ffs, if this was an issue Hock and almost every forward in SL would play less than half the season and be off the pitch every game!

second image from different angle.

We need the fans out in force for this one, even though Thursday night live on SKY isnt ideal. Crowd last week was given as 11k but far less than that in the ground with a lot of passholders missing.

I think its pretty much season over if we lose, and we need to back the team as best we can.

Potentially Ellis' last home game of the season too, I'll be coming over Thursday afternoon, looking forward to it.

No potential about it. We cannot reach second spot now so this will be the last time all leavers will play at the KC. Hopefully they'll receive the send off they deserve

Get there if you can, I know Thursdays can be a rush but as has been said this is Gareth Ellis' final game at the KCOM as well as it being a farewell to Mahe Fonua and Steve Michaels.

Need a big crowd getting behind the team.

apart from green we will be at full strength if everyone comes through this week

no excuses, win at all costs

On this occasion I am pleased to say I told you so.

How many pass holders were missing?

From the West Stand, it looked like the East stand was highly populated.

Irrespective, all who can get there should do their bit and cheer the lads on from the stands rather than the ale house

The full 19-man squad to face Wakefield is as follows:

1. Jamie Shaul
2. Mahe Fonua
3. Carlos Tuimavave
4. Josh Griffin
5. Fetuli Talanoa
6. Albert Kelly
7. Marc Sneyd
8. Scott Taylor
9. Danny Houghton
10. Liam Watts
12. Mark Minichiello
13. Gareth Ellis
14. Jake Connor
16. Jordan Thompson
17. Danny Washbrook
19. Steve Michaels
21. Sika Manu
22. Josh Bowden
28. Brad Fash

Phil Bentham is the ref and, more importantly, the video ref is Thaler.
