But It if it's found in a players blood, then the is no way of knowing if it was taken as a performance enhancer or for recreational purpose.

In Rogues case, a cup of Hot Chocolate does the trick.

And no one EVER gets banned for clocking Jammer across the head! Time and time again it happens and time and time again the RFL holds no-one responsible. It annoys me.

Bulging disk is not a good thing. That is what Pryce suffered from and meant he had to have an operation. Wilkin the same. Not good at all.

Aside from not wanting James Graham to be injured, being one prop down was tough; being two will make us very vulnerable up front. We should bring in an u20s guy to help out if there is any question over Graham, who should not play Wigan if he is remotely unfit.

I don't like this seven players couldn't train malarky all over again. I bet Wello is one of those; he was getting treatment on the field on Sunday.

Bans are rarely if ever given for Grade A offences.
A fine means he's been found guilty though!

Sorry have to disagree as Cas fans are pretty perplexed at how Rangi Chase (2 game ban - reduced to 1 for a Grade B offense) and J Davis (1 game ban and £300 fine for a Grade B -"Ninja" tackle). For what it's worth I didn't think there was much in the Roby incident, but it's the fact that 2 of our players have received bans for lower Grade offences, shows once again the RL suck!.

Well, we have had three bans this season ourselves (all Grade B offences) and we were anticipating a ban this time too because of that!

Grade B is worse than Grade A that's why, a harlequins players is UP for grade E. That's 4-8 game ban for biting, it's just another thing that the RFL do!

Noticed this myself, always seems to happen in the first 20 mins, gets no protection from the referee until he's been bashed about a bit.

I find a glass of Laphroaig works wonders.

Maybe the disciplinary are looking at franchising match bans.
