Highly unlikely now:-

Nine players from Rochdale and South Wales have been suspended following incidents that marred their recent Championship 1 clash.

Hornets half-back Gary Middlehurst suffered the most, picking up a three-match ban for his part in the all-in brawl after the half time hooter, which resulted in he and three others receiving red cards.

Scorpions hooker Nathan Mossop picked up a one-match ban after being found guilty of committing a punching offence during the same incident.

Dual-registered Wigan prop Dom Crosby, who was sent off in the second for a head-butt, picked up a one-match ban, while team-mate Jason Howells was handed a two-match ban for entering the field of play without permission of the referee and striking.

Hornets pair Phil Braddish and Chris Clough picked up two-match bans, while team-mates Steve Bannister and Dayne Donaghue, and Scorpions' Luke Kell, picked up one-match bans.

One match for head butting and two for running onto the pitch to join in the umpty both sound a bit lenient .?

I agree but then we are on about red hall rules

I don't think Rochdale would of given us much trouble at derwent park with a full side.

I wouldn't of thought they'd of troubled us last week either!

Anything is possible as both teams will be under strength through suspensions and injuries!!!!!
