I thought he had one match remaining?

Just checked, two game ban so yes he’s available too

No new suspensions for us?

Nope. No charges, either

Looks like 4 games in common sense is kicking in at the diciplinary. Not sure that there were huge differences in the Ackers/ O Connor tackles to the ones that players picked up bans for clubs in rounds 1 and 2.
I would hope this would now extend to trying to keep 13 players on the pitch. There was nothing wrong with the on report system. Similar to football the video ref could be used for when the ref is unsighted and there has potentially been a clear red card foul other than that get on with it and deal with it on Monday.

Saints appeal will be successful. Percival's other bans have all been successfully appealed and the RFL will therefore cite his unblemished previous record as a reason to overturn the ban. The same will happen again in 2 weeks time.

Wouldn’t mind, don’t think was a red offence

They decided not to appeal

Saving up for Knowles appearances

Surely Ruan keeps his spot

Should cop a longer ban for a frivolous non-appeal

According to Red Wee, Saints will walk both games against us (30+ scorelines suggested by some), despite a lot of complaints about their backline.

There are far more people talking about potentially losing five on the bounce. Both extremes are largely the preserve of the reactionaries amongst redvee population



FWIW I’m confident we win on Friday but it won’t be easy.

Saints are favorites, however, if we play close to our best for more than 40 minutes, then we have a chance.

Looks like. Mom injured ?

I'd put Ruan in over Donaldson though

I think we'll see Rhyse back at Centre for this one with Momirovski missing I'd personally go for

Ruan

Ruan has showed us last couple of weeks he is developing into a very handy player in back row or middle be poor selection from Rohan if he put Donaldson back in and halt Ruan's development who offers more than Donno imo.

Not a great start to momorivski's Leeds stint, missed a good chunk of pre season, poor in the games he's played and injured already

Our luck with wingers and centres continues

He was poor the first half last week but other than that he’s been solid, not setting the world alight but not done much wrong.

People seemed to be too focused on how players/ team attack and nothing else.

I imagine Smith will go with Martin. I wouldn't be surprised to find out Momirovksi's been playing with some sort of problem. Might explain why he's been quiet.

Definitely agree that Ruan should keep his spot. If the likes of Ruan and TNW take their chances when they get them, there really isn't a place for Donaldson in the 17 under any reasonable circumstances.

Agreed Mom's been poor so far. Needs to offer something in attack as we have seen nothing in that area from him so far.
