It should be a case of SOS as with Amor but we all know the disciplinary panel are a law of their own so it could be anything. Just hope they have some common sense and realise it was not malicious nor high it was nothing more than an unfortunate collision of a defending player affecting a tackle and the attacking player suddenly going low due to another defending player tackling around the legs. As I've said earlier if this is a red card offence then no team in 80mins of rugby will finish with 13 on the pitch.

The ref saw Gayle starfished and due to the cocks ups they have made in not sending players off Watts paid for the incompetence in the officials.

Hope the club ask the RFL Disciplinary committee how they came about incident 434/17 with Watts in 32nd minute?? Regardless of it saying no charge how can they name Watts when he was off after 22mins!!!!

I did notice that and wondered myself how incompetent are they

Let's hope His Honour Judge Chris Batty QC, a member of the review panel, knows his rugby.

Graeme Hallas and Jon Hamer are the other two.

Lets hope he doesn't place the black cap on his head then

5.15pm hearing so shouldnt be too long to wait

Any news?

Not yet

2 matches. According to Twitter.

Anyone injured? Just drove past at 6ish and looked like Connor was practising kicks 1 on 1 with a trainer.

Confirmed by RFL.

So we play wire without 2 of our 4 first choice props, hadley out on loan and manu on his way back to oz? Gonna be a tough night and no easier the next week without maybe 3 of the 4 first choice props, no manu, hadley and whoever gets injured on friday. Let's hope houghton come through this week

Wasn't Hadley's loan up this week? Need him back asap.

Best case scenario is probably, assuming we can recall Hadley:
Green
Houghton
Bowden
Minichiello
Hadley
Ellis

Washbrook
Thompson
Fash
Masi

I don't think we can accommodate hadley under the salary cap.

green
washbrook
ellis
turgut
mini
thompson

masi
fash
litten
radford (comes out of retirement as we have no one else)

Taylor is available for Friday isn't he??

Yes, we're talking about the Widnes game I think.

I think they are talking about the Widnes game.

If we don't call back Hadley for the Widnes game, you would have to suspect there is more to it then the club are telling us.

radford already alluded to it when he said we won't have to loan out the likes of hadley, naughton and abdul next year when the salary cap increases

Maybe they thought that in the second half of the season some of the teams in the Middle 8s might look to strengthen and take a couple of our fringe players allowing us to take Hadley back? That's not to say we won't be in the Middle 8s clearly, just what the plan might have been.

Wonder why it's a month by month deal then, rather than a year long loan deal with no recall like the other two?

Can't we make someone a marquee signing too free a little space on the cap?

Against Widnes barring anymore injuries
Bowden
Houghton
Ellis
Minichello
Turgut
Washbrook
Subs
Masi
Thompson
Green
Fash
So not to bad to be honest

Not unless we want to increase his salary to £175k

mini is probably our highest earner, top him up now and next season he can have tuppence ha'penny.
Seriously though, this is what happens when you backload contracts to get an over the cap squad under the cap, the following season it bites you.

Exactly, this is what happens. Genius.

Worth every freaking penny!
