They reckon on the Pieboard, 2 match Ban??

Good news for us, rather play against Fielden tbh.

not sure if fielden is fully fit. think pies were aiming at giving him another week before bringing him back for wcc game. Lima ban has probably forced there hand somewhat though.

Bonus I guess, I just hope we have Herbert back in the side.

This seems a bit harsh to me. The tackle on Wilkin was nothing at all, and if he hadn't complained I doubt it would have even become an issue. I can't remember the other chicken wing he is supposed to have done, so maybe that one was worthy of a ban.
Do the rfl take a player's international disciplinary record into contention when deciding on these bans? This was, after all, his first competitive game in super leage - great start!

Sky have him down for two matches. That should help us with Fielden not having any game time at all this year according to the pie board.

tbh on the one viewing I had of the incidents they didnt seem worth more than a warning letter to me either. maybe 1 match at a stretch because he was warned in match for 1st incident and then did it again but 2 matches is harsh imo. Still I'll take anything that improves our chances on sunday.

Either way makes it a slight bit easier for our forwards.

Looked to me like he had two hands on Wilkin's arm. That is no way to tackle fairly.
