No surprise priors got 1 game with the continued farce with yellows and bans. Bowdene to start, I can barely contain my excitement.
You typed excrement instead of excitement first time round didn’t you. We took a big gamble with our front row before the season started, it’s really backfired big time.
I suppose we should be grateful Prior only got 1 game. Hopefully this BS disciplinary system will only last a season max. All they needed to do was protect half backs from late hits and they're on the verge of totally ruining the game.
We started the season a prop short. I get they hadn't expected Ava to leave but we are missing someone who can make some ground and bust some tackles. Now with injuries and bans we are back to relying on "Middles" who don't have the skill or strength to really do much and by 60mins have been bashed so hard they just get rolled.
I think the new rules are here to stay, in fact they will get worse as the RFL are terrified of legal cases for brain injuries.
The new rules are one thing, I just don't get how you can bin a player for 10 minutes, let him back on to finish the game then ban him again, it's madness.
