Tough to do unless we can bring in a UK backrower in addition to Longstaff

I would have kept Smith instead of Lovodua but with only one quota place left we need a second rower.

Would Jullien count? The only other UK backrower of note OOC is Joe Greenwood.

Unless we can entice someone who's on contract and possibly out of favour somewhere

Julian wouldn't count.

Need to keep our eye on the championship, Rovers look to have done well out of Halton.

INOUT

me too, but I think we have Lovodua on a cracking salary.

I’ve mentioned Greenwood a few times. Would be very happy bringing him in. Been very good for Huddersfield and can step in at prop too if needed.

Good player. I'd be happy if we sign him as well.

I think he's on his monthlys

Centre is the hardest position to defend at but he does need to bulk up a bit to help with his initial contact.

He's a bit of a grubby player but Jack Bussey is 100% Super League standard.

Two match ban for Brad Fash (Grade B Dangerous Contact) so that's his season over.

Why are they banning players in between the double round. They don't at Easter - they delay the disciplinary.

Letting Brierley look like a world beater probably shows where we are.

If you had read the post instead of reacting like a jackass i was referring to the comment above as to where we are.
I was not criticising Fash who unlike others always gives 100% but the fact he is probably our player of the season highlights exactly where we are.

Because they're morons?

I know lets schedule a double round right at the back end of the season when all teams are knackered and/or busted AND we'll ban players too so its even harder.

He has a good chance of winning it as after the club having played 27 games he is one of only six players who have played more than 21 (along with Houghton, Satae, Lane, Lovadua and Brown).

Wonder if the disciplinary will be more lenient come the playoffs

Then they'll preach about player welfare when in reality they don't give a toss about the players unless it suits them.

What evens worse is the panel is made up of a number of people who should know better having played the game at a high level. Then again when you have Paul ‘The Cliche’ Cullen involved why is anyone surprised at the idiocy of the panel and their decisions.

Good grief

It can’t be surely



Absolutely nothing in that

That is just fecking ridiculous. Who the hell makes these rules up. This needs to be sorted out. No wonder fans are getting disillusioned.

RL rightly prides itself on being the toughest game and you get banned for that!

It's bad enough teams (not just) Hull being weakened with injuries. But players missing games for that is making the game a lottery. It's robbing supporters of seeing the best players.

If it's clearly obvious that there's intent to injure another player than yes give them a ban. Most offences are down to tiredness or mistimed tackles. Fine the players don't ban them.

Are you sure thats the incident?
Cant see anything wrong with that

If you are going to referee Super League games twice then surely the Panel should include an impartial referee who can put forward contrary views when necessary.
The other change i would make is put the the responsibility for indiscipline for minor offences onto the players by fining them rather than punishing the club with a one or two game ban
