Can’t see Carlos being back he said round 3/4, so I’d always take it as the latter with him.

Wouldn't trust the RFL.

Thought we looked fairly a lot better with ball in hand against Warrington.

Fancy us to win by a couple of trys.

I don’t trust them either,, I can see him getting a ban. Rightly or wrongly….wrongly obviously.

As you say Davey there is so much more wrong than just a case of confusion over head clashes. There seems to be a big issue in terms of not just the level of consistency and interpretation between the officials but also a level of inconsistency/interpretation with the same officials during a game.
Then there is also the same issue with Cliche Cullen and the MRP in the way it adjudicates as there is still very little if any transparency in there decisions/punishments/sanctions reached by them.

All in all the lack of any true accountability of any sort and at any level or dept within the RFL reeks.

Its just not something that a minor clarification will address or resolve.

On to the game on Sunday, its difficult to know what position we will be in player wise until the MRP meet. I would hope that the RFL, Officials & MRP come to their senses and admit to Nu's red card being a cataclysmic clusterf#*k but I won't hold my breath such is their inability to get or do things right. We could well see Brown given SOS but in exchange see Sutcliffe, Hoy & Gardiner banned.

Think Houghton is back as we played on the Thursday when he failed his HIA and we play on Sunday which is over the two week period, worst case scenario

Walker
Martin
McIntosh
Okunbor
Barron
Harman
Smith
Brown/Sao
Houghton/Balmforth
Ashworth
Staveley
Sao
Lane

Balmforth/Hodgson
Severs
Laidlaw
Diakhate

Best Case Scenario

Walker
Martin
Carlos
Sutty
McIntosh
Smith
Hoy
Sao
Houghton/Brown
Ashworth
Ockunbor
Staveley
Brown/Houghton

Balmforth
J. Brown
Gardiner/Laidlaw
Severs/Lane

It says a lot that nobody can name a probable team until after the MRP meet such is the level of confusion and inconsistency as to what deserves a ban these days.

To say the sending off was diabolical is an understatement, but to the letter of the law it was correct. It carries 3 - 4 game ban. Big problem now is the rules. Do they change the rules or abide by them? I don't think they will change the laws as that would be a joke. I think for next round they will though.

You have obviously seen these Head contact rules, can you share them with us?

If Nu Brown is given a 3-4 game ban I will not be going to another game or even bother watching another match on Sky till things change.

He is a Rovers troll, doubt he will be here much longer.

He's the reincarnation of Keith but lacking Keith's legendary wit and intelligence.

Keef has more aliases than Grant Shapps.

Shame none of them can make a coherent, well adjusted post.

Just a 2 match ban for Sutcliffe, to be expected I guess, glad nothing further for Nu and that it was just fines for the rest. Leaves us light in the backs for Sunday, hoping Carlos is back.

Nu Brown and new rules aside - we do need to sort out discipline out, having 4 players cited by the disciplinary in a week when we've already got 3 players banned and a squad decimated by injuries is far from ideal, an area that we're not seeing improvements under Smith/Genes coaching. The smarter teams will be adapting to the new rules, we do not.

Carlos hopefully and Ligi back

Common sense prevailed regarding Nu sending off.
