I totally agree that this committee are just totally inconsistent . How Fuzzy escapes with no ban for the hit on a player without the ball amazes me - we were told this was one of the main areas of foul play that needed to be addressed.
I am not a Cam Smith fan , but he is fast becoming another penalty machine - he has to stop this.

The disciplinary panel really has become a complete laughing stock.
Really nothing in the Leeming and Smith tackles and they both cop a ban. Yellow / warning should have been enough.
But Fusitua's was easily our worst of the game, blatant shoulder charge, and he gets nothing.
Totally baffling...

Completely agree with this

I agree

And the big thing is we actually have a young player who can hopefully execute (to a high level) the fundamental skills that sometimes let Leeming down and pretty much always overshadow the good work Dywer does. He needs to be given a proper go and not as a makeshift centre.

Mellor confirmed he’s fit to play after passing all concussion tests and returning to training today.

How’s Houghton not copped a ban after a yellow for a high shot?

Seems to be more banned from the televised games than the ones with a £50 camcorder on halfway.

I just hope Corey takes his chance Thurs and stays in the team.

No consistency at all in these sanctions.

I'd assume Dwyer starts Thursday and Johnson off the bench.

I’ll pray for the other way round!

I'm an atheist, but I will do as well.

Corey will start with Dwyer on the bench i think. That was the plan last week but Leeming recovered from a knock.

Really hoping Corey takes his opportunity.

A good time for him to get a game. Should be a game in which we're not completely overwhelmed up the middle and partnering him with Dwyer - assuming Corey's the starting hooker - might actually work better than it would have with Leeming.

Seems that the yellow was harsh given the description that the attacker fell into Danny, rather than Danny swinging an arm

No Newman, Leeming, Bentley, Myler, Smith, Holroyd, Walters.

Subs

Dwyer
Thompson
Briscoe
Mustapha/ O'Connor/ Donaldson

Having Briscoe on the bench helps cover injuries in the backline if they occur, I wouldn't through Mellor straight back in after only missing one week and we have plenty of options at back row anyway. I'd like to see Mustapha get a run out but Mustapha, O'Connor & Donaldson all bring pretty much the same as that smaller middle high work rate and energy.

Hull have been like us this year very hit & miss not writing them off for this game but with the key personnel missing from their team I think we should have more than enough to turn them over and will be very disappointed if we don't.

Broadbent wont start

We have a few missing too - just think the 4 day turnaround will be too much for us

Certainly a big disadvantage given we played last Thurs

Unfortunately you are probably correct.

Can’t see him staring this season unless backline is decimated. Something gone on behind scenes I suspect…..

got to stop this obsession with Broadbent. He is a good 21 year old prospect and that is all. He is not a world beater, not suddenly going to be up with Saints if he is in the team. The lad has plenty of time to develop and force his way into the first team. Give him and Agar a break
