You're right - even reserve midweek games (mon-thu) don't count unless the 1st team hasn't a game the following weekend.

Harking back to the day, I thought that all games that the individual was eligible for, counted provided they were arranged prior to a ban?

… not any more. It's all in the RFL "flip-book", the most difficult way imaginable to look at documents.

We've not won our first three Super League games in a season since 2009. We won five from five that year. Game six was a 18-19 home defeat to Cas which was the first of five successive league defeats (plus at Cup loss at home to Salford), in fact we only won another five games all season.

Five from five then five from twenty-two.

Great opportunity to make it 3 from 3 , Saints have got a few out injured already this season and Percival didn't look to good on Thursday either . WCC the following week also .

Roby, makinson and Knowles likely to play so will be stronger than they were thursday plus they will want a better performance before the wcc

Saints pack looked nothing special without Walmsley to set the tone. If we can find the same intensity as at Leeds there is every chance that we can get on top of them. We need to be patient and take our chances because we won't get many of them against such a well drilled side. I think we have every chance though. I would make it a 50/50 contest and I reckon the bookies odds will reflect that.

Hopefully Satae doesn't get a ban, but I fear he might. It was very late and a bit of a cheap shot on a relaxed player. At least he didn't him high though, so we might get lucky with just a warning.

As i said at the time, if an opposition player had hit a Hull player, late, with intent and said player had no chance to at least ready himself for the impact I would want at least a 1 match ban.
