I don't think so.The ban carries for the week.
It was done to stop teams counting reserve team games that were played on the same weekend as a first team game counting towards the ban.

Aye. Saints tried it when Sonny Nickle was banned for breaking Mears' jaw.

No, he wnet on loan to an NL 1 side or something, and served his ban before the start of the season or something like that

Difficult to say, Ganson intimated it started on the players shoulder and slipped up.

Looked bad at full speed and I haven't seen any replays since. Kylie's looked OK, I don't think he will cop a ban.

Shock, Horror. Jamie Peacock and Sam Burgess have no case to answer and will be available for England next weekend.
