Hypothetically speaking, if he's banned for one game and he was already selected in the England side, then not only would he be banned from playing in that game but also the Bulls game that weekend

That went past me a little too fast on the last bend...could you clarify a bit?

It seemed to all start because Ben Jefferies would let go of the ball so Demetriou was ragging him about this upset Scruton.

Don't Demetriou and Jeffries own a business together or something??

How so? Would that not be two games?

No because both the games are on the same weekend, could you imagine the re-percussions if a player was suspended for one game and missed the England game, but played the very same weekend for his club side?

So it's not a 2 game ban, just a ban for the weekend, if proved guilty of course!

There would be no repercusions from me!

So a player who gets a ban from the England game would be free the weekend after? That doesn't seem fair either, it shouldn't depend when your match is scheduled for.

Interesting that after the Celtic defeat we had a thread twice as long by this time (not to mention several macca out ones). Now admittedly a win against Wakey at home isn't anything to organise a civic reception about.. but why is it that people are less inclined to post about a win? Perhaps it's just the British way!

Everyone ran in when the Wakefield player decided to swing a punch from nowhere when Scruton tried to pull him off Jeffries. Hard to accuse one of the many who ran in. Dumb play by Wakefield player when they'd just won a penalty.

Only problem is that Sam was the only one running in with the clear intention to take someones head off - sky sports news are about to show the highlights clips wich includes showing Sam just missing Demitriou with a haymaker on the run.

The wakey player was dumb for starting it with the first punch though., I can see them both getting some sort of ban. Got the crowd up though, maybe we should pick more fights

I gotta agree, Sam stood out a mile as he ran in and seemed to throw a kind of diving punch. It looked awesome, but my first reaction was "he's in bother".

Yep, mine too.
