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!

Wow your full of yourself.
Dont rate Howarth one bit but we cant have all the kids playing so he'll have to play.
Super Lance In the halves patnering god knows who because Swift will have to be on the wing.

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.

If a player gets injured during an illegal hit from an opponent can be replaced and that change doesn't count against the 12 replacements available during the game.

As this is the case I've always considered that if a player is injured making an illegal hit and that player receives a suspension, then any suspension received should not be served until that player is fully fit and available for selection. Only fair really.

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.

I'd agree with that although these days players don't seem to be found not guilty!

Re: Possible suspensions : Mon Apr 22, 2013 6:13 pm  

Meli deserves a ban it was awful contact

That said I have never had him down as a dirty or cynical player & for me 3 or 4 games would be about right

He's not a dirty player. He's just stupid sometimes. Alas, being stupid is no excuse for what he did and he was very lucky not to have broken the neck of the Hull player.

Has Ashe played on the wing before? Either way, we're going to need a good defender on Dixon's side or else we will be ripped a new one.

PS: More likely to be Wello and Howarth in the halves, if last Saturday is anything to go by! With Hohaia as hooker.
