Banana skin?

Really need to be knocking them over to build on last week. Assuming Fash and Green that are out I'd go same team as last week. If Kelly is missing I'd put Connor at 6, Carlos starting at centre and Washy on the bench.

think Kelly will play unless injured

Is Westerman likely to be involved. Not sure what kind of shape he is in with him barely playing this year.

Be surprised if Kelly misses out because of that video. It will be a slap on the wrist and move on.

Think Westerman is a few weeks away from playing. Didn't look in top shape at Toronto.

Westerman wont play, not for at least two games, and then, depending on injuries, be on the bench. We would be silly to drop Kelly just for getting drunk, Rovers idiots have blown this out of proportion. Hopefully the club will make a comment and this thread can disappear.

No issues with the disciplinary this week so perhaps only Fash not available. Selection headaches for Lee Radford. I spoke to the players in the shop this weekend and they are flying out on Friday.

Luke Walsh has just retired, I wonder if they will ramp up their efforts to get Matty Smith before this game.

Off to Lloret tomorrow, looking forward to it!

No real selection headaches - stick to the same team that beat the Rhinos - onwards and upwards.

Good to see no disciplinary issues for us this week, apart from Mickey being warned about lifting his knee. He has previous for this so I hope he tries to get it out of his game. For Catalans I really can't see why we should lose to them. York gave them some scares so we should able to do more than that.

Looks like Josh Drinkwater is the replacement for Luke Walsh so he may be in their squad for Saturdays game.

In all honesty unless we are utterly clueless and unprepared this really is not a game we should be losing if we want reach the GF this season.

They were rampant against wigan until just after half time. Had bird not been injured they would likely have won that game. Bird was back last week so I expect a tough encounter and a very loseable one

Kelly will be in the squad for selection https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... ll-1496150

Let's hope the RFL accept the punishment the club has dealt out.

Sad that "The Reason" (Andy) felt the need to contact the RFL about the video.

It's nothing to do with the RFL, in honesty, it's nothing to do with FC. No complaint made, no charges. Just a jealous Rovers fan.

Plenty of people do it, every week (I'm not condoning it).

If a player is deemed to have brought the club/the game into disrepute by his behaviour then it definitely is something to do with his employer and the RFL

Why? He is a private individual, if it was Boris the Bricklayer out on a Saturday night his employer would have no right to discipline him, so long as he could do his job on Monday.

what if it was school teacher? cant tell me , 500 kids sharing it around school would't lead to his/hers dismissal

why should it? unless in their contract it's nothing to do with anyone else.

I would hazard a guess that there are Social responsibility clauses in most contracts these days. You represent the company even outside of your working hours

quite probably, maybe Mr Orwell was right...

If an employee acts in an unsavoury way and brings the company it is associated with into disrepute, then the company does have the right to discipline the individual. I have this conversation with new employees during their HR induction as a part of summarising the Social Media policy.
ATEOTD, Kelly knows he's very much in the public eye and should behave as such, especially in a modern era with technology at your finger tips. Players are unfortunately going to be pounced upon the second they misbehave and they need to be careful.
However, this is nothing more than a ticking off incident, and rightly so it has been dealt with internally by the club. The Reason is a very very sad individual with a really nasty streak to want a player sacked over this.

and that is the root of it, a nasty sad Rovers fan trying to cause trouble. It's getting to a point where I genuinely believe "snowflakes" are actually a "thing"!

So ban him for bringing RLfans into disrepute

Squad named:


1. Jamie Shaul
2. Bureta Faraimo
3. Carlos Tuimavave
4. Josh Griffin
5. Fetuli Talanoa
6. Albert Kelly
7. Marc Sneyd
8. Scott Taylor
9. Danny Houghton
11. Dean Hadley


12. Mark Minichiello
13. Josh Bowden
14. Jake Connor
17. Danny Washbrook
21. Sika Manu
23. Mickey Paea
26. Jordan Lane
28. Hakim Miloudi
29. Masi Matongo

I would guess Miloudi and one of Washbrook or Lane will miss out if all fit

I'm guessing their is a doubt over Shaul, unless they are giving Miloudi a chance to see his family?

If all fit, same team as last week for me.

Seems odd to include Miloudi if he isn't going to play. If he isnt going to play it would make more sense to name Logan, and let Miloudi play for Doncaster
