Assuming Corey Norman gets 8 matches for his grade F, it will be a total of 25 match bans across 13 players from a single round of super league

Staggering... Norman fully deserved if true but overall it's too harsh..

Holroyd injured in training a week before his 10 match ban was up. Has had an operation on elbow. Back for next season.

Jeez. The lad hasn't has much luck but he seems to be picking up injuries all the time. Zero appearances this season. Be brave to rely on him too much until he's proved he can stay fit for more than 5 minutes.

We simply cannot class him as one of our main 4 props at the moment, not until he proves he can string a long run of games together which hasn’t happened since his academy days . So many operations and long term injuries these last 4 years or so.
Shame for him as he has all the potential in the world…but potential always sat in the stands is no use to us.

You'd have to say that given form and experience elsewhere in the squad he is probably prop 5 next year. He needs a great pre-season and a really positive start to 2023. He does have real potential but there are now lots of young props across the league who have accumulated far more games than Tom.

Holroyd 14 games in 4 years is not a record that is sustainable in the long term if he is going to be one of our 4 starting props.
Oledski has played 70 games in the same period of time!
I know its a different game nowadays and much faster but we never seemed to get this many injuries when players used to knock 10 bells out of each other and then go on the drink Sunday night and Monday afternoon. Bizarre!

Jesus wept. Next season is huge for him. Simply must be able to play a number of games.

This is a major concern for the club.
Holroyd, Newman, Walker.
Players tipped as the future of the club.
And none of them can string a run of games together.

Even more disappointing we let Mustapha go.

Any word from this weeks disciplinary lottery?
