Sambou

[wroteforluck87]

has tonight been found guilty by an Independent Operational Rules Tribunal of a Grade E biting charge.

as a result, he will face a seven match suspension, £250 fine & 41 penalty points imposed.

Wow!

[shrewsbury roughyed]

Big punishment but, assuming he did it, justified. Big lesson for the lad. Hope he learns from it and comes back fitter and better.

[Roughyed Rats]

Any dual reg centres available at Wigan

[bosman69]

Zach eckersley would have been nice as a talented Oldhamer but he is starting regularly as Miski is injured.  If I am reading the wigan squad correctly they have a young centre called  Nathan Lowe in the first team squad but playing reserves at the moment.  A real blow to lose Jumah for so long along with the injuries to Jordan and Thornley.  Hopefully the latter is short term? We still have Jack Johnson and Ben O'Keefe to fill the centre positions in the meantime 

[Enk27]

Is there any right to appeal or is it just a case of accepting the punishment?

Again from the evidence available to the regular folk it definitely looked more arm to face than Sambou looking to bite.

What does it mean having 41 penalty points? He's been banned and paid his fine, surely that must be it.

Any more talk about Henderson?

The points accumulate and result in additional suspensions when they reach a threshold. Henderson? 

[Bert Street]

Only four league games hopefully!

[The Art of Hand and Foot]

I'm quite shocked. The video seems innocuous.

New rules apparently so the more points he gets the longer his next ban would be for a second offence

He lost the appeal.

I would like to know why the Barrow man wasn’t cited! In the RFLs disciplinary report they state the Barrow players arm was wrapped tight around Sambous head ! 

Anything above the shoulder is a penalty.

His brother just scored a quality try against wire for saints on debut

His brother has signed for Wigan for next year

Apparently so though not yet confirmed by either club

Hull KR are closing in on the signing of Oldham hotshot Jumah Sambou. All Out Rugby League understands the Robins have made the Roughyeds outside back their latest transfer target and are expected to secure his services for the 2026 season.

His attacking play in the early part of this season mark him out as a rare talent. He needs to go and see if he can fulfil that promise.

We really need to see his success, that of George Hurst, and to an extent PLT, as a feather in our cap and a way of attracting young players to come and play for us.

I totally agree

Lots of potential but can't see him in Hull KR first team at moment.

Loaned back to us like PLT would be great.

Think he is physically equipped for Super League, but will need to address his defence.

Can see him being a real star.

[bosman69]

Jumah has gone great potential. Size, speed and the ability to beat a man. He can learn a lot from Iain thornley in terms of his ability to make space for his winger but if he can stay fit and away from the disciplinary then we will have a very exciting player for the rest of this season. It is a great compliment to both him and the club that Hull K R that he has this opportunity.. if we did get him back on loan and his brother on DR from Wigan that would be something!

[tandle]
