Can't submit early guilty plea. I expect Wilkin and Gardner to plead guilty. So therefore it will be Wilkin with a 2 game ban and Gardner with a 1 game ban. So for next week then, it will probably be Swift in to replace Meli, Percy on the wing, Jones at centre, and Hohaia/Howarth and Wellens at 6 and 7.

I think we should make the London game our youth round. Well, it worked in 2011 so maybe it will work next weekend?

Re: Possible suspensions : Mon Apr 22, 2013 5:12 pm  

It will take a lot of shuffling to get a team together.

Makinson should stay at #1 and Jones will probably move back to centre with either Turner or Percival moving to the wing.

Big question is who you play in the halves? Ashe/Charnock get called up (hope nobody says Swift) I reckon with Hohaia moving back to the halves. Howarth moves back to hooker.

Will be difficult this weekend!

I think Gardner should plead not guilty, his was more a collison with the shoulder that was difficult to pull out from than an actual premedated shoulder charge.
To a certain extent we are falling foul of the match being on TV, we will probably see more of the Gardner type tackle not on TV that will go through un reported.

What do you mean by the Swift comment?

Re: Possible suspensions : Mon Apr 22, 2013 5:27 pm  

I actually feel a bit sorry for Meli.

I know his ban will be irrelevant given his injury, but as a matter of principle I feel a 4 game ban would be slightly harsh. Yes it looked horrible on TV and it was a nasty collision, but there was no intent. Anyone who understands the game can see that. It was clumsy and instinctive.

I don't. He was an idiot and let everyone down big time. He deserves his ban.
