Does his ban count if he was going to play in the reserves

If you have got an EGP it as to be used, and it works on a rolling 12 months.

That's right. It's a case of use it or lose it, you can't save it up for wen you might need it. In Benny's case, he didn't have it anyway.

Out for a month now,having an op on his ankle.

Bad news

.

He will miss the Wakey, Salford, Catalan & Castleford games.

After those games we play Widnes & Hull over Easter. Hoping Ben is back for Easter because directly after that we play away at the Piedome.

Thanks for the fixture list but I really think we have enough cover for Benny while he gets sorted and it sounds like he will be back pretty quick.
