I think he'll cop a ban for the tip tackle that wasnt and fine for the ball throw. I think we will appeal though and it will be quashed.

Think it will be a busy session this week.

Hope Marshall the rat cops a ban his playacting after his try was just awful and his gymnastics after the Dufty tackle are just a couple of incidents is why despite his talent he is just plain awful.

i'd quite like to see thewlis get a run playing the dufty role for williams, we've not experienced that yet

Re Sims I think he'll cop a ban but it may be less than Vaughan because the ref was constantly telling the Player to get back up.

Re JT CTW id prefer to keep josh on the wing, but wouldnt be gutted if he went to fb nice problem to have

I’d like to see Thewlis given a run at full back, however I think injuries will dictate Thewlis needs to stay where he is for now. Chambers was speaking at a Scholarship meeting a few weeks back, he’s sees Taylor-Wray as the future at full back.

granted the previous managment had dedcided this, but dufty was supposed to be short term before thewlis slotted in at fb.

the new management, may see the potential in taylor-wray and thewlis may think he's doing a decent job and stick on the wing

I`m a big fan of Taylor-Wray, but would like to see him play the occasional 1st team game now, to see how he copes in Super League outside his current comfort zone.

Not everyone makes the cut when playing against grown men.

The London game gives us an ideal opportunity to do that.

As someone has already touched on, these kind of problems are the best to have. Lindop also comes into team selection difficulties.

Was a reserve fixture this weekend did we not take advantage of the loophole and include Harrison in it so he could be available this week.

The Loophole only exists when the Reserve Team play on a weekend that the 1st Team don`t have a game.

Fair but I call bull on it because it was ok to play 2 games over Easter weekend till recently. And it’s not like player welfare comes into it as he is banned anyway.

he's come on well this year, i thought he looked a bit undersized opening game of the season against catalans

Common sense prevailed, of course some opposition fans will not be happy. Sims and Lomax in big trouble although Saints fans won’t be to unhappy about Lomax being banned I guess.

Percival a bigger loss than Lomax for Saints, I also think Lomax needs a surgery so if is at the higher end he might get it done. May be a blessing in disguise for them. I'd rather he got away with it he's been stinking the place out for them.

Is the Lomax incident the one he got sin-binned for? If so, the MRP are basically saying that the ref and video ref got it badly wrong on the night by describing it as just "low-level force", given that they have now ruled it Grade E. As for Sims, if they are being consistent he has to get the same punishment that Vaughan got.

The magic word with refs and the panel, isn't it. Squirrel grip punishment differentials instantly come to mind, as an example where it is not applied.

How on earth did Lisone not get a mention

Good news on Dufty, play him this week then I’m hoping CTW gets a run vs London.

Players tend not to get a ban when the forearm hits the chest.
I can`t post the photo but it`s as clear as day there`s no head contact.
Like I said at the time had he led with his forearm to Russells head at that pace Russell would still be unconscious now.
Richard Silverwood reviewed it and said no case to answer.

Sims gets 4 same as Vaughan but Chambelin was actually injured hmm. Lomax 3 but a saints fan is saying he did not make contact with the head.

Yeah, buta significant proportion of them believe the disciplinary are the reason they haven’t won any titles in the last 6 years…

To be fair to the disciplinary panel the offence does not discriminate between injured or not.

Law 15.1 (i)
Makes unnecessary contact with a Player who is or may be injured.
Grade F

3 games for an almost identical tackle to Harrison. Ha I bet redvee are fuming.

That was unintentionally hilarious as I scrolled down to see 'Joey Romeo' with a dangerous throw for Whitehaven. Sounds like either an 80's WWF wrestler ("OH MY GOD HE HIT HIM WITH THE PATENTED ROMEO THROW!) or an adult entertainer (not to be confused with THE entertainers!).

I think I need to leave the house for a bit.
