Not the best scenes in perpignan today.
But on the pitch Micky mac could be In for a couple of games ban , Sam tomkins I reckon will probably miss next week cant see him getting more than that tbh.
Dont want to see anyone banned but 2 games out for them 2 would help us out

Well that's sam T out for our game, micky M willie able to play, be surprised if Edward's is available I reckon he is facing a ban

Thats a huge side. We tend to struggle with big forwards. Let's hope we can move them around in the heat.

Well Sam got three matches! what surprises me is Wire just one player suspended, with Catalan 5? it was the worst refereeing performance I had ever seen, two Wire players did two high tackled in quick succession each, nothing, but Hill got a yellow card?

Mamo should have recieved a red card. That's from review so was surprised the discip review did not see it that way though.
To put it in perspective not every high tackle is a red. In quick succession makes no difference, a red card is on severity of an individual incident, previous offences should not effect the decision to send someone off.
Never actually saw the hill yellow, only saw last 10 mins of the game, so cant compare. The tv coverage of the micky m incident was not that good.

The RFL never fail to amaze me. Their decisions depend on which way the wind is blowing

I am not convinced such sophisticated logic applies.

It was even worse than that. We were leading the game when the fight happened with only seconds left on the clock. Catalans scored a try to win the game from the resulting penalty!

Notwithstanding the rest of the performance be it good or bad, just remember the high tackle the shoulder charge the punch thrown is always the players decision!
Phil C on sky has made a good good point, the catalan wire game, the players were the ones that lost their discipline should the clubs not bear some of that responsibility? No matter what the ref gave neither team were really interested all they wanted to do was hit the other bloke.
As for the bans handed out though, didnt actually see sam throwing punches! Discip obviously saw something, more than on french tv. the incident that sparked the last ruckus, sentencing guidelines can only look at the incident not the repercussions caused by it! Maybe that needs changing.
Mamo not getting anything was puzzling, as he really should have got a red for use of the head.
And the ref does not have a SL game this week so MO dept have acted on how they viewed the game.

For once and possibly the only time ever I think the ref is the person being punished here. Theree was no way he was ever going to control those teams. They were out for war and they got it. NB does the ref have the right to abandon a match and zero points the game or do they have to play to the end.

Strewth good question, not sure what the protocol is on abandoning a game. For the bit of the game I saw it did descend into a game of retaliation.
Last night was interesting the way Rob hicks dealt with it, obviously pre set that he was going to stamp on anything really quickly to prevent any escalation, as a result of previous week. Catalan were dire though, let's hope they are as bad next week. I reckon rob butler or olsi should be given job of battering kasiano everytime he gets the ball

You have made some odd comments in the past but this has to top the lot. You are aware of the relative sizes of the two players ?

Errr yes! One is arguably our biggest unit on the park, The other is a pretty agile prop so yep olsi, mebbee Ted but he is same size as olsi and can lose his head, mark ionne tends to come off the bench, so yup olsi and butters.
And if your going to quote me quote me correctly I said butters or olsi, maybe should have worded it butters and olsi, butters to hit him olsi to wrap the ball up.

Or maybe you would give the job to dixon and grumpy?

So NB Rob Butler is banned so what’s your revised strategy to batter Kasiano ?

Didnt see butler had a ban.
Ok but the theory still works, you didnt like the 2 names I suggested so will keep it simple. 2 forwards choose who you want, but 2 given simple job, stay close to him and hit him as a pair everytime he gets hands on the ball. In attack do what they did with fifita, run at him first couple of tackles, make him work.
So revised strategy is same as initial strategy but you feel free to choose who you think should do the job. Or is dixon and gumpy yr suggestion.

Where is Matty Gee we seem to miss him when he's not around. Hes had a good season.

The club are pathetic on sharing injury news.

Had a boot on his foot last home game and said ready in a couple of weeks so that should be this weekend

Same goes for Ryan Morgan and Morgan Smith

Maybe sharing injury news not best idea, keep it quiet, let the opposition guess until team sheets out

How about a Deep Fat Fryer?

Interesting comment dead, fancy explaining it?

I think DC was putting a bit of humour out there, maybe he should have emphasised the word fat in italics.

Anyway changing to matters Catalans who will be out there on Saturday? I will.

Perhaps the OP thinks the player in question is rather tubby or likes chips (or both).
