The most farcical thing ever. Anyone would think he was playing Leeds at the weekend. If he gets banned for that the game has gone mad, it was ridiculous that he's even been referred for it. The spin is due to momentum and at no point does he turn the ankle, he ensures it's facing in it's natural direction at all times. If that is worth a ban, any tackle around the legs must also be a ban. To make it worse they also told Luke Walsh off, when he was receiving far worse treatment from the Widnes player kneeling on the leg he broke last year.

The disciplinary is an utter farce currently. James Green of Hull KR gets a 1 match ban for a deliberate and totally premeditated attack to Travis Burn's head using a banned technique that resulted in a broken cheekbone, and Greenwood is down for 2-3 games for tackling someone by the ankle.

He'll be fine if gets himself the same brief as Sneyd

Even as a Leeds fan I hope he doesn't get banned because like you said it would be farcical. Hull fans trying to blow it up just because their guy got banned the other week.

The Sneyd tackle is one of the worse tackles I've seen this year - IMO it's much more deliberate than the tackle that Chase copped a 7 match ban for.

There was nothing in the Greenwood challenge in comparison to Sneyd's career ending attempt and to think he could cop for 3 games sat in the stands just about sums up the inconsistencies at Red Hall.

Agreed on all the other bits but don't quite get the gist of this one?

The gist is Saddened is a tool.

Very true. It was a tongue in cheek reference to you receiving favourable treatment from Red Hall, which is always the suggestion if you speak to fans of non-Leeds clubs.

See Ben Currie has got two games for making deliberate contact with a referee.

Bit of a pattern forming with Silverwood getting in the way of players and them ending up getting banned as a result, isn't there?

That old chestnut, always a favourite when you have nothing tangible to base your imaginary theory on.

File it alongside "Leeds wont play a semi final outside of yorkshire"

TBF to Silverwood having seen it again then it's all on Currie's stupidity. Gets a knock on call against him, doesn't like it and when they're stood around starting to form the scrum Currie pats Silverwood on the back and gives him a slight push towards the Leigh players as if to say he's on their side.

Not seen you on here for awhile

I agree, greenwood is only being charged as Brown reacted and it was live on TV. Nothing like sneyd in that whatever the intent sneyd made a deliberate roll whereas Greenwood had momentum and inevitability rolled (so the only real issue is whether he could have reacted and released Brown's ankle)

But Greenwood knew that Brown had injured the same ankle earlier so was hardly acting as an innocent it seems to me.
Saints fans can't moan about that & then defend Walsh.

Silverwood is the ref.

Greenwood deserves a ban for his snidey ways since making the 1st team. Always got his hands on the ball in the tackle, likes giving out the old facials, and always has a bit of interference at the play the ball. I've taken an immediate dislike to him. He probably was trying to do Browns injured ankle, he seems that sort of kid.

But he didn't grab the ankle and roll like Sneyd did. All Greenwood did was make the tackle with his arms wrapped around the lower part of Brown's shin. As he tries to get up his gets one foot free and Greenwood manages to keep hold of his other resulting in the foot/ankle getting a bit caught. That's the definition of an accidental one in act of trying to slow down the PTB, not what Hull claimed with Sneyd.

Ticket sales going very well.

South Stand sold out and Carnegie Terrace only 400 left.

I wonder if it could make 20k ? The sun could bring a few out.

19 man squad as expected McGuire, Cuthbertson and Garbutt all included, just have to see if the first two are fit enough to play

1 - Hardaker
3 - Watkins
4 - Moon
5 - Hall
6 - McGuire
7 - Burrow
8 - Leuluai
9 - Aiton
10 - Peacock
12 - Ablett
13 - Sinfield
14 - Ward
15 - Delaney
17 - Cuthbertson
19 - Singleton
20 - Keinhorst
22 - Yates
27 - Handley
30 - Garbutt

I will be pleasantly surprised if both Mags and Cuthbo are fit and if so then who will drop out if all others are fit too? Yates is obvious but there is a good argument to retain Keinhorst and rest Handley

Handley bounced back well last week I thought and Keinhorst is doing well in the back row so wouldn't jig him about ATM even though I think he could miss out if Cuthbertson is fit and we end up having at prop at loose.

IF both McGuire and Cuthbertson are fit I think it'll be...

If McGuire misses out then it'll be interesting to see if he calls up Robbie Ward or goes with a 4 forward bench.

I demand Jimmy K stays in. He is the one who has impressed me most the last few weeks. And Sinners was a demon against Hull last week as well...

Anyway, does anyone know if there is a U-19s game on first on Friday? Seems an ideal time to do so if there is going to be 20k+ but there is no mention anywhere on the website that there will be anything on before. I am going with a few newbies / RL tourists and I don't want to be stood gassing somewhere in the stadium grounds having a drink while the SS is filling up. If I can persuade them with there 'being a game on before' it will strengthen my hand! I assume there is nothing happening as there is no mention on the website but people on here seem to know first - the article saying about 'only 400 tickets left for CT' has only appeared online in the last hour but someone said it here before then. Thanks

U'19's are listed as playing on Saturday vs Hull so doesn't look like they'll play before.

I would like to see Keinhorst stay in but last two games McDermott has really downplayed his showings in the post match interviews whilst bigging Delaney up massive after the Hull win so I have a feeling it Cuthbertson is fit then Keinhorst will be the forward to miss out (along with Yates).

Very much depends on who you play at Loose, recently has been Ablett but wouldn't be surprised if he went with another prop their vs Saints. He did away and usually does vs Catalans.

If fit I guess Mac will start Cuthbo at 13 if not perhaps Singo. Saints have been playing LMS in the 2nd row and 3 props on the bench so we need to counter that. As I said their big guys looked tired last week so I would be inclined to try and move them around a lot in the heat. Our best kicking game is required.

Swift has been in speedy form and Handley (despite a much improved showing last week) has shown a positional weakness in defending his opposite number recently which Saints may well have noted hence I would plump for the Keinhorst/Watkins combination on our right. I agree Mac did downplay Keinhorst's recent MOM performance but that maybe done for a reason we don't know about. I am sure he is well aware of JK's contributions recently
