Sao and Balmforth banned 1 game each.
Has Sao got a room rented at the Disciplinary, ? He's just come back from a ban.

Anyone got the stats for how many games Sao has been banned for this year? Yellows and Reds?

3 Yellows and 2 Reds i believe, not good enough.

As a club its 17 yellows and 4 reds, absolutely staggering numbers

He's an absolute tool !

no, tools are useful

Awful, and Sao has a lot of them. But don’t forget, we copped many of the early ones to set a false precedent for the season, including Nu B’s accidental head clash red amongst others.

On reflection, only Nu Brown’s card was unfair (as backed up in the RFL Disciplinary). All the others have been stupid, pointless actions by our players and served no benefit in the game and contributed to heavy defeats most of the time.

Think we should be a £1k fine for every yellow card (£3k red) and Monday when suspended. Can go towards free coach travel/tickets for our fans to away games.

I recall us having some pretty harsh ones in the early days of the season, but I’ve removed most of the memories of that period from my brain.

I understand his frustration. Because when he's putting his body on the line only for his creative players to let him down every single time they get into the attacking zone, then he's gonna get frustrated and give away penalties. That's how it is when you're at the bottom.

I get the frustration bit from Sao, I really do however; there’s some absolutely needless yellows in there. Take the one at Catalan, seconds before halftime for example, just no need.

Expecting Will Hutchinson to be in the squad for Sunday.

Think he was in the squad for Leigh, hoping he gets into the 17, play a few minutes.

Hopefully Houghton and Ashworth are back and help some damage limitation.

Like his pointless offload the other day to a London player following his charge down, when he didn’t pass to Charles or just go to ground and return possession. That was Sao’s fault, no one else’s. Moments later he gave a penalty away and now he’s suspended (again!).

Yeah, would agree with this.
To give a little benefit of the doubt to Sao, there have been times this year where I've felt he has made mistakes due to trying too hard, in having to carry the pack almost by himself (especially if Herman isn't there). These mistakes then lead to frustration which in turn lead to more brain explosions and more errors. He then starts flying around trying to make up for the mistake he's just committed only for the cycle to start again!!

Saturday was a case in point. London's first try came off the back of a penalty given away by Sao which in turn was the result of his frustration at his stupid off-load a few seconds earlier. The worst part, from our perspective, is that we keep seeing this chain of events being acted out on numerous occasions by various players through each game throughout the whole of 2024.

Indiscipline and lack of game management, just two of the many facets which are so wrong with the club and which are contributing to the worst season any of us have had to witness/endure.
