We need to keep our discipline on thursday though.Haggerty is on top form so glad he is available for thursday.Probably miss dewsbury,whitehaven and Toulouse games.Rather him miss them games and gives pickersgill some game time again.Glad we have a decent squad of players.

Christ, one of the worst I've ever seen that from Haggerty. It wouldn't surprise me to see a lengthy ban.

Although the tackle from the South Sea Island lad, (ropati?) where he got binned, was another baddun.

In the face, off the ball, with a double forearm smash?

What a player the 'big man' is.

Fat dirty coward

It does look bad - I wouldn't be surprised if its more than 3 games. Don't the disciplinary commitee usually try to work out wether its accidental, reeckless or deliberate. An accidental contact and he might have been looking at no punishment or maybe a 1 match ban, but if they consider it to be reckless or even worse deliberate and he could be out for some time. Not wanting to bag one of our own players but had someone like Terry Newton had done something like that on a live Sky game there would be loads of people saying he should be banned for months or more.

Just glad he will be available for Thursday - whatever ban he picks up after then doesn't matter as much. The games after Halifax are: Dewsbury (a), Whitehaven (h), Toulouse (h), Lezignan (h) and then Batley (a).

How did the ref not send Haggerty off? The most blatent sending off i have seen for a while. Just goes to show that refs take the easy option with "on report" option.

You can’t condone what Haggy did. I’m sure, now that the red mist has gone, he regrets this. He’s not really a dirty player. He doesn’t have a history of this.

In the previous tackle, Barlow elbows Haggy in the face, I’ve no doubt that there’ll have been further clashes earlier on, leading up to this too, and a running feud had been ongoing.

Either way, Haggy could, and probably should, get a 3 – 5 match ban.

Me neither. Should have asked Stringer on Sunday what he thought of Said.

If Pickersgill and Haggerty both play then Tampons might as well stay on the bus.

It's ok Aizue and Maloney will step in his place.
