Rathcford looks to be back in the 17. If so put J Clarke to 2nd row and Austin to 13.

Re: Jack hughes suspended - 1 game : Wed May 12, 2021 10:02 am  

Given that Sezer is very adept at short kicks behind the line, do we want Ratchford, Inglis or Thewlis at full back?

And do we really want Lineham in the back line given he is better when he doesn't have to think about things?

Yet another decision by this committee that appears to over penalise our club. Quite how some of the cannonball type tackles were not penalised further is beyond my comprehension. One game for a chicken wing. Me thinks it’s about time we started appealing these decisions

I could be wrong but I don't recall Hughes being in much disciplinary trouble before. However, we never seem to get those 'previous good behaviour' decisions that one club in particular always seems to benefit from.

Ok Constantly is a bit over the top to be fair, but i just really don't like him at 2nd row. As if he's moved there i think we'd be weaker on the left.
Someone mentioned J.Clark to 2nd row and i didn't think of that actually, that's basically a like for like swap and maybe we could put Butler on the bench to get another big body on the bench.
I'm looking forward to monday and seeing/hearing the fans again. Huddersfield will be a tough physical game.

It is great news that fans are being allowed back in and things look like they're heading back towards normality.

Tough game Monday they're improving and Watson has made a habit of winning games against us. I'd like a bit more attacking threat but as you say a more conservative forward swap (I'd never thought of J Clarke) would also work like for like.

Enjoy the game

It's crazy how we just get random disciplinary issues pop up with nothing standing out from the games, meanwhile other teams are doing allsorts and get nothing. I'm sure Westwood got banned last week for dangerous contact just for bant.

I see Sita has got one match ban for dangerous contact with the legs . There must be a parallel disciplinary universe for some clubs.

I think it's certain players to be honest, sita and Lineham seem to cop a lot of bans and more severe bans when players at other clubs get less or nothing for similar offences! Hill is another that refs love to penalise (he does deserve it a lot of the time) he has a reputation for niggling and refs seem to want to ping him for it at some point in every game when others get away with the same all match.

If certain players of ours other than Ratchford had incredibly summoned superhuman strength and thrown Kenny Edwards in a somersault one armed we would have been down to 12 for sure. Sita would have been off and probably copped a 12 match ban!

Re: Jack hughes suspended - 1 game : Tue May 18, 2021 3:18 pm  

Was there any word on Sky about Hill? He had to be lead from the field with what looked to be a head knock. If he failed his HIA then, with a short turnaround, we may be down another front rower for the Cas game.
