Hasn't cocaine got a performance enhancing chemical in it?

For two hours after taking it

Which is the duration of a match. Hence, its use should continue to be on the banned substance list.

But It if it's found in a players blood, then the is no way of knowing if it was taken as a performance enhancer or for recreational purpose.

In Rogues case, a cup of Hot Chocolate does the trick.

And no one EVER gets banned for clocking Jammer across the head! Time and time again it happens and time and time again the RFL holds no-one responsible. It annoys me.

Bulging disk is not a good thing. That is what Pryce suffered from and meant he had to have an operation. Wilkin the same. Not good at all.

Aside from not wanting James Graham to be injured, being one prop down was tough; being two will make us very vulnerable up front. We should bring in an u20s guy to help out if there is any question over Graham, who should not play Wigan if he is remotely unfit.

I don't like this seven players couldn't train malarky all over again. I bet Wello is one of those; he was getting treatment on the field on Sunday.

Sorry have to disagree as Cas fans are pretty perplexed at how Rangi Chase (2 game ban - reduced to 1 for a Grade B offense) and J Davis (1 game ban and £300 fine for a Grade B -"Ninja" tackle). For what it's worth I didn't think there was much in the Roby incident, but it's the fact that 2 of our players have received bans for lower Grade offences, shows once again the RL suck!.

Well, we have had three bans this season ourselves (all Grade B offences) and we were anticipating a ban this time too because of that!

Grade B is worse than Grade A that's why, a harlequins players is UP for grade E. That's 4-8 game ban for biting, it's just another thing that the RFL do!

Noticed this myself, always seems to happen in the first 20 mins, gets no protection from the referee until he's been bashed about a bit.

I find a glass of Laphroaig works wonders.

Maybe the disciplinary are looking at franchising match bans.

I mentioned the same thing about the Wigan players of late. The last few games we seem to have picked up a lot of head / facial injuries (cuts)

It would appear that tackling around the legs is outlawed but it's open season for the head hunters.

Why not drink turps and be done with it?

I thought you liked a drop of spirit - white spirit. lol That will certainley work wonders.It will clean you out inside.

Gotcha, didn't realise that tbh, thought it was A, B, C etc with A being the worst. It wasn't worth a ban anyway.

my gut feeling was that the RFL felt under a bit of pressure to not suspend Roby as they basically wanted the best players available for a match that is being shown live on terrestrial TV.

Well to the average person like you and me that would seem the appropriate system to use but as we know the RFL like to make things complicated.

Yes, in terms of performance enhancement it's about the same as a cup of coffee. I

I think you'll find it's classed as performance enhancing drug.

Quote ="SaintMarshy"Committee's reasoning for decision now available to read here: www.therfl.co.uk/disciplinary/item?3049'" How fooking patronising to warn Roby about his tackling technique! Roby, who probably has the best tackling technique in the whole of rugby league. The matter should never have come before the panel in the first place. I still want to know when someone is going to appear for bashing Jammer around the head.

I,m just wondering who has the worst tackling technique and has never been charged this season ........... Shirley from Wigoons perhaps.

surely
