It's this year's hobby horse. I'm not commenting on any specific bans, but I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of hip drop bans there have been in the previous five seasons. There will be none by July, then someone will get a ban in the play offs cos of it. Ludicrous is the correct word.

It's worth a punt appealing this as if his ban gets doubled, It would only mean he misses the Wakey game by which time we should have Bullock/Philbin & Harrison back. I would presume we would have rested him for this game anyway. We certainly need him against St Helens and it is a game we should be looking to win to lay a marker down.

Why all the fuss?

We’re going to beat them easy anyway.
There playing little better than Cas atm.

Erm, it isn't like a double-or-quits thing where someone tosses a coin and that determines the appeal outcome. If we think the outcome is wrong, appeal it. If not, let it go.

What is there to lose? Do you think DP agrees with the ban? I'm 100% certain he would want him playing against Saints so it's a no brainer for me.

Who is the mystery "middle" that might be available this week.
Is it Luke Thomas?

The game is lacking so much credibility. How can they pluck an offence out of thin air, something not reported or penalised on the night in front of the cameras. But piers-paul chicken winging clarks knee, the one he's just recovered from injury with, gets totally ignored. Totally bent, makes me want to stop watching.

I seen that and have just seen what Vaughan got a ridiculous ban for..you don't have to be Einstein to work out which is the worst offence

I've seen the video of the cheap shot goon trying to end Daryl Clarks season...it beggars belief that it will go totally un-noticed by the RFL and the match officials. Clark should have stayed down and brought attention to it. I don't like play acting, but jeez sometimes honesty is not the best policy. Who do Catalans play this week? I'd put a £10 on at least one of their key forwards getting a ban after their next game.

Saints hate Kendall mate.

It’s been happening all season mate.

Now now, as you said we just have to accept everything as correct or we sound like Saints fans.
