According to rfl website, looks like Miller & Phillips will get 1-2 matches, both referred to tribunal.

Does that sit the day before Gateshead or the day after???

[Cato89]

Usually on Tuesdays isnt it? So they should be fine to play Gateshead..

[DavidM]

Do we not want it to be Tuesday so the ban is Gateshead?

[Cato89]

Deffinetly! Charlo and Oggy need to have a word with the players about discipline. (im sure they have like) weve been in trouble a few times this year.luckily it hasnt cost us YET!
I know things can get heated during a game and we like to see our players show thier passion for the club and us fans but sometimes it can cost us and we need to chill out.

Brett should be able to take an early guilty plea which would mean 1 match but I think Elliott will have to do the 2 matches as it's his second suspension this season!!!

[DavidM]

With the judiciary then 2 league games ( one against weakened Rochdale ) we should be back to as good shape as possible for the playoffs.

Let's hope it's the Tuesday before Gateshead, so Brett just misses that game and is back for Rochdale. Miller will miss both but carter should be back for the hornets visit.

The whole thing is a joke, had the ref been stronger it wouldn't have happened. It's ok to call a lack of discipline but anyone who plays rugby knows there's only so much you can take if an officiall is too incompetent or too much of a coward to do anything about it. That said, to do it in the last minute is a bit daft.

Miller, Carter , Olstrum and Matty in the playoffs give us a good injection of strength in our bid to be champions. The class players we have I believe give us as good a shot as anyone. I know peripheral depth may be down but key players make the difference and with ours back to supplement the others in Thacks , Phillips and Stack ( and Lupton & Calderwood can be to ) we have the talent. I honestly believe there's no one to fear.

[GeordieTownie]

Agreed, I think we might struggle away at Donny if we finish 2nd but I'd fancy us on neutral ground and I can't see any of the others beating us..........unless we get Oldham!!

Bank holiday Monday so it will be on Wednesday next week I think.

Cato your on about discipline I was quiet impressed with Brett's discipline.If you watch the later end of the scrap he was on the receiving end of a few and didn't really retaliate.

[wonky]

Elliot got 2 games and Brett 1 as expected

[DavidM]

Coulda been worse. We should be in as good a shape as possible for the playoffs.These two back with Carter, Matty , Olstrum and the dualreg , and I say again we've noone to feel inferior against. Fingers crossed we get through these next 2 games with wins and no more dramas!

Do we still have Dave Petersen or is he injured. He was apparently injured playing for HKR Under 20's!!!!!

Does tonights game count ?

[DavidM]

I forgot about that dualreg rule. Interesting to see who else is affected .

[wonky]

Yeah tonight's game counts. But who knows about dave, it was in the paper saying he would be back for the playoffs but we will be the last to know.
