More bad news! Banned for two games.

2 match ban.

Really. That's tough compare to some of the things that happen.
But it was a stupid tackle as he goes low and appears to attack the standing leg.

He was in good form too.

ha ha will we have anyone left?

so horo will have to play second row this week.

think it will be jowitt on the wing

Ben Westwood looks likely to miss a few.

Dec Patton got a sin bin sufficient

Depends on who CC thinks best, but I think George King will fill Kermo’s spot .

Seems fair - it was a stupid, dangerous and most annoyingly, completely unnecessary challenge on the kicker.

Surely not, aren't we always the victims?

That seems to be the new mythology on the VT - but I don't see it; it was an idiotic move by Kirmond, and he'll rightly sit out a few games.

Indeed - creating a rhetoric to suit an individuals agenda seems to be rather popular on the VT.

George King to 2nd row and probably Hirst back on the bench to cover Kirmond's absence.

Hirst has had plenty of opportunity, time to give Baldwinson a go, he impressed pre season

I think I agree.

Baldwinson in the squad so hopefully CC thinks the same.

I think Hirst gets a raw deal sometimes, yeah hes not as blockbusting as fifita or hard running as Koppy, but he takes a lot of stopping and getting down and does decent minutes. Happy for Baldwinson to have a go though, he was looking decent pre season.

Was just my thought based on the perceived pecking order; Baldwinson seemed to be looking at a perm move to Fev last I read but always happy to see a youngster prove his worth

Back on the Kirmond suspension.
I have to say it was a stupid thing to do and deserves his 2 games.
He needs to be more disciplined than that.
