RD 19 | Toulouse (A) : Sun Jul 10, 2022 7:07 pm  

Big trip to Toulouse this coming weekend and a very hot one too. Hopefully everyone come out of magic weekend with no injuries. Sounds like Austin was minor, but unsure of Leeming.

Myler
Fusitua Sutcliffe Hardaker Handley
Austin Sezer
Oledzki Johnson Prior
Martin Bentley
Smith

Dwyer Gannon / Donaldson / O’Connor / Walters / Thompson

Sinfield, Leeming.

If Leeming fit then I’d be tempted to try Johnson on bench.

Any news on Hardaker, he came off injured and had his leg strapped up?

Could be a chance Sezer is banned for this. If Austin and Hardaker are both out we will be struggling at fullback and half. Presumably Sinfield and Johnson or Myler at halfback but without Walker unsure who would play Fullback. Don't fancy Fuzzy there tbh.
Fingers crossed that Austin is fit and Sezer is cleared.

Think Hardaker is fine was fit to go back on but not risked as game was won

Given how we’ve gone this year I’d be very surprised if Sezer wasn’t banned unfortunately. Hopefully Austin is back and it could be a straight swap. I also worry Fus could be in trouble for a late hit on evalds in the build up to the fonua try, but would have to see it again.

If we have both Sezer and Austin, it’ll be interesting to see if it’s Johnson or Dwyer on the bench. I thought Dwyer was much less the headless chicken, one run aside, and much better for it.

Ridiculous isn’t it that we are worried that two players could be banned. Games gone mad. That yellow for Sezer should be sufficient punishment. The product on the field is being damaged by the over zealous disciplinary action

I would be stunned if Sezer or anybody else was banned. Thought it was a clean, well reffed game.

Oh I agree with the sentiment the game was well reffed. I wasn’t shocked though, Thaler has always had good rapport with the players and I much prefer him to the ‘new breed’ of refs if you will. I assume he’s been injured as I’m sure they fair that was his first on pitch action of the season.

I have absolutely no confidence in the disciplinary though, and fully expect Sezer to be called up.

Totally agree. Honestly if they face further action it’s an outrage

The advantage of every game being televised is we can make direct comparisons when the disciplinary stuff comes out.
Sezer, high tackle, near the end of the game, yellow card.
Keinhorst, high tackle, near the end of the game, no yellow card

Those are the two that stand out as the easiest to compare so let's see what the panel make of it
