Banned for 3 matches!!! Does anyone recall what he did because I certainly can't!!

Can't say I can, there was a possible crusher tackle in the 2nd half but not 100% sure it was Sika involved or not, the Widnes player held the back of his head/neck but the ref never seemed to indicate any foul play and never called a penalty.

Other than that can't recall any other incident in the whole game.

No idea at all. Mystifying

Apparently a crusher tackle on their winger?

58th minute: no player mentioned....

I can take this ban if Sika is guilty no problem, what ####### irks me is when a Wigan player Leuluai live on television piles in the most vicious cannonball tackle, no action taken, the absolute usual scandal regarding who you play for.

It was on that young winger and looked unnecessary at the time. This season goes from bad to worse

no complaints with the ban, but its more selective sanctions from the RFL disciplinary panel!

few weeks ago, houghton got 10 minutes for an alledged crusher on faker richardson=no ban
friday night, manu does a crusher on a widnes player, who to his credit carried on seconds after, no if manu got 10 minutes would he have picked up a 3 game ban??

How bad has our discipline been this season,just when we seem to be getting on top of injuries another ban.We must have the worst record in the league.

when you're in the tackle yourself it can sometimes be really difficult to even see what's happening with your body against another both as a defender or attacker. Rarely are these intent, rarely are they reckless, sometimes clumsy/careless but IMO the vast majority are through a cumulative effect of bodies in a tackle which can go all over the place.
Players do need to think a bit more though about what happens and why in many ways the tackling technique that RL employs nowadays has far more chances of an injury than those were the traditional tackle or even Cumberland throw were employed

Convenient boost for the derby, fresh legs against our small pack. What’s it go like again Mrs Barista? “Timely boost?”

Won't do us any good my love. We've 10 out whilst you're full strength with Carney back and Jackson Hasting to boot. If we can keep you below 50 we'll be doing well. Hopefully some bodies back for when we play you in the Super 8s.

Is the hastings to rovers rumour true? Seems they're the only ones left in teh running by all accounts

youre number ten should be back by then, heard the kitman had a tear in his bag so he may not make it

1 year extension. Bloody marvellous

Great news
Big recruitment in the second row for 2020 needed

(BTW Hastings off to Salford, Dobbins getting Todd Carney apparently

)

Happy he’s staying slightly surprised just had a feeling he may head home . Need to get him 100% fit not sure he has being for a while .

it's easy for people to criticise when no-one really has an idea if players are simply having to play with injuries because of lack of numbers, he hasn't looked his usual self, maybe the 3 game layoff works in his favour even if not the club. Balancing player welfare over achievement is difficult but it can so easily lead to players losing a fair few seasons through playing with a knock all the time.

Excellent news, really important signing, just Westy to sign (Id be amazed if he doesn't get a deal) and I reckon we are done, just need a bit of luck with injuries like the 2106 and I think we won't be far off challenging again for the top spot.

Indeed. Good news today twice over with Mini and Manu signed up.

Full strength we have the team to compete for the Grand Final.

Some good comments from manu



I'm sure some won't agree of course

Just Westerman to commit and we’ll be there or thereabouts.
Haven’t the club got an option to extend?

The development of players like Masi and Fash gives us real squad depth going forward.

Good to hear that Sika has such confidence that we will suceed next year. We’d need better luck with injuries, and better discipline after some stupid cards this year but next year it really does seem to be just about the last chance for most of our ‘2016 winners’ such as Sika, Mini and Talanoa to have a shot at Old Trafford. Hope we can kick on and deliver.

Said by someone who wishes their own club could sign a player with his quality.

Very happy he is staying, hard as rock this guy.
