I think Acton is due back for the last 2 M8's and the MPG if they're in it.

Widnes have Heramia and Ah Van gone for the year, not sure on the others. Chase is Chase and wont organise anything but can give that moment of magic.

As it stands if Toulouse get in the M8's Widnes play both them and Cats away, that will be far from ideal for them. Just hope Jon Wells prediction is right

Acton failed his appeal. He's now banned for four months. Won't play again this year.

Just seen that, stupid appeal really, was never going to get it over turned as regardless of the outcome it looked awful and sent out all the wrong signals regarding head injuries.

I personally think that if any appeal fails then the ban should automatically be increased

Absolute gormcloptitude.

If a case has new evidence then of course it should be appealed.

If that evidence is then deemed not relevant or of no importance to the original decision then it is then up to the panel to decide whether the appeal was brought in good faith or in mischief. The former, ban stays the same, the latter increase the ban.

There has to be an appeal process, otherwise everything will just end up at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, or at least the clubs that can afford to take that route will do that. Then we'll have an even more slewed system.

None of that has any baring on Acton's extended ban, which is clearly just funny as it's got all the hilarious gormclops Leythers chocking on their lobby.

Whatever that muck is.

Looks like you'll be playing us at the LSV in the M8s. Get yourself in the Centurion pub before the game. £2 a pint and free Lobby.

Good grief that's reasonable prices!

Fair play squire, you lot have taken a fair few battering's and as fans you've had plenty of grief.

What's in Lobby? Looks a bit like corn beef hash?

Toulouse beat Feath. I still say we need to beat Fax. Form is all important, we cannot go into the m8s on the back of 2 losses. Who we face at home or away is not relevant, we still need to win the games. Hopefully next time we face Toulouse we'll have a strong side AND the need to win. These are the two factors they beat us with this season.
