Sheffield at home on Sunday.   Another interesting challenge.  Although not the force they were they did give us a game in the 1895 cup.  Plenty of former Bulls in their line up.  


Not sure yet if HKR will recall Doro now he's done his two week loan.  There could be a shake up in the pack with a few getting a chance since Pele was on crutches after the Oldham game and Scurr also came off injured.  Being without our three main impact forwards would leave us relying on Lawrence, Michael, Bayliss and Mason.   On paper that's not too bad.  Expect Lilley to continue at scrum half in the absence of the injured Keyes.    Fulton and Gee in the second row, Donaldson at loose forward.   


With Waine now on loan at London (unless recalled) we could use Hallas as a bench forward with Souter and Ott rotating at hooker.   Potential wildcards to throw in would be Peposhi and Jamie Gill.

Ah.  just seen this.  Has anyone seen footage of it?  Seemed totally accidental.  Not sure what issuing a ban achieves really apart from persuading anyone wanting to sue the game that it's making efforts to respond to incidents where concussion occurs.    Whether a ban is the right thing is open for debate.

Disciplinary are all over the place to be honest. I know it a hard job as we all have different opinions on foul play. But when you look at the Liam Knight red card where he's escaped a ban because apparently he attempted to wrap his arms. Unless they're looking at a different angle, he definitely doesn't attempt to wrap. 


All season a late tackle on the passer has at least been points on your record. Toulouse man gets sin binned for hitting Featherstone player after that ball had gone. Got a sin-bin yet not even a single point on his record? 


Clash of heads has resulted in bans previously as defenders responsibility etc but that's usually if both players are upright. Matongo falls into Peposhi. Seems vehy harsh. 

So two players banned for head clashes this week. Da Costa earned 3 points and Trout warned 5 points. Peposhis incident was apparently 3 times worse than those as he received 15 points. Baffling. 

I found Peposhi's case on the RL Disciplinary site was the points total on another page?   2 matches and 15 points for a complete accident that was down to the ball carrier slipping a micro second before contact seems unduly harsh.   But then this is more about avoiding getting sued rather than taking a fair view of what actually happened.  https://www.rugby-league.com/governance/rules-and-regulations/disciplinary/disciplinary-cases
