It’s not the hitting late, it is the type of hit that is crucial. When your back is turned or an attack to the head. I wish I had a pound for every time I had been hit when I passed the ball, I would have retired at 35

The system is e.

Only bragging rights are being played for, I would sooner have injuries now than on August/September.

I agree but I still think he will be banned. It’s the smallest of fractions late and it’s a tackle and not a shoulder charge, so it shouldn’t be but we’ll see. I saw some of the Roosters v Parra game the other day and Tedesco was hit late, with a shoulder, directly to the head and that was also 10 minutes. We seem to be trying to turn the game in to tick and pass in this country.

hope the Leigh player who hit French for the last try gets the same then

Just a quick question. Just purchased an email ticket for Good Friday. Do I need to print it out or can I show the downloaded ticket? CHEERS!

What’s happening on Good Friday?

that answer isn't helpfull

They’ll scan the QR code from your phone (no need to print it).

Thanks pal!

Spotted Thornley isn't in the Barrow squad today, no point getting him cup tied, shame they didn't have a league game this week, another game under his belt and he'd be a good option for Friday assuming Wardle gets banned

Surely wardle won't get banned for that? He had no time to pull out if that tackle

And it was a tackle and not a shoulder charge. It doesn’t help though when you get noise around an incident and the comedy duo Barry and Terry seemed to bring that. Amazingly Lam said he’d not watched it back but thought it could’ve been a red card

Lam blaming the officials to deflect away from a pasting sounds about right.

i watched the tackle back on Warriors TV and tried to slow it right down

in real time you dont even see the tackle, its only in the replays where they focus on it

Wardle is poised and moving in a forwards direction to make the tackle. He is a fraction of a second late, as the ball has gone. He however, does not hit him high, or shoulder charge. If GoB still had the ball in his hands it would virtually have been a perfect tackle. Where he could perhaps have helped himself was if he completed the tackle by wrapping his arms around him and taking him to ground. Instead he sort of hits him and turns to make the next tackle

for me 10 mins in the bin is sufficient, however, not a clue what the disciplinary may hand out

Last Thursday i saw a team playing with cohesion and everyone left it out there. If they do the same on Friday but still get beat then fair enough because as much as they are rivals, Saints are a very good side we all know that. Better than us but i believe those tides are turning slowly but surely as both sides head in different directions of transition. I just hope both teams start and finish with 13 men on the pitch and give us a spectacle. The dry weather forecast should ensure it is a cracker and derby week has started today for me. I am starting to get that itch. Hopefully the working week flies by. Bring it on.

Agree the tide is turning slightly, we were nowhere near them in 2021. But last year we played 4 and won 2. We won convincing at home and won the only “must win” game in the semi final. We got beat convincingly on Good Friday and the magic game could have gone either way.

Well Wardle not banned but Isa is. Will we bring Thornley in and KPP to back row?

Would starts Shorrocks there myself and keep KPP in the centre.

Agree. If Marshall is fit to play, KPP on the bench.

Wigan player banned but no Saints players. It's a conspiracy against Wigan I tells ya!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed. He doesn't have the aggression to replace what we lose with Isa.

Red Vee calling it the definition of corruption!

Two options I see us going with

If Marshall is fit

French
Miski
King
Wardle
Marshall

KPP back row

Or if Marshall is out

French
King
KPP
Wardle
Miski

With Shorrocks or Smithies filling in at right second row.

Disgrace, RFL always picking on us !!!

On the plus side Isa always seems to get binned against Saints so they might have done us a favour

Field out for 8-10 weeks but doesn't need surgery.
