No i wouldn't mate to be fair, but on the flip side he's not used it towards someone with a disability. It's basically school yard name calling so on paper it seems well over the top. BUT rules are rules, i think i'm spitting my dummy out a bit as he won't be playing for us until April and annoyed by it.

Fair enough comment mate.
I’m the same as you totally peeved off he’s missing to April.
He came across well in pre season but my worry was always his past disciplinaryrecord. He his an excellent 1990’s//2000/Adrian Morley type rugby league player which I’m afraid in this day and age you can’t get away with hence he’s playing Super League and not NRL because he’s a penalty machine and teams see him as a liability.
We did need his aggression but it as to be controlled aggression.
He still as upwards of 20 games to make up for this brain fart.
My worry now is with Dudson being out apart from Vaughn the pack is same as last year. If we don’t hit the ground running the pressure on Powell will be immense.

Are such words still used in the Land of Oz? They disappeared from general vocabulary over here many years ago. Maybe a book of words not used in Blighty should be given to imported players ,or maybe the club should be more careful who it signs, in the first place.

You would have thought the club would have learnt the lesson from when Price uttered that offensive word last season.

I wish Price would have been given a 7 match ban.

Looking forward to a player of the match accidentally saying 'man' of the match in the post-match Sky interview and getting a 5 match ban for lack of inclusivity

yeah, thats the same, isn't it.

Re: Josh McGuire potential ban : Wed Feb 15, 2023 1:12 pm  

Match 8 v Cats away.
Usually very tough with a fair share of dirty play.
What are the odds on another ban?
Just hope he doesn't get involved in a late hit.
Would the verbals count if he verbalizes a French player who doesn't speak English???

Of course not, I was being awkward. But you can definitely see Jenna Brooks having to apologise for the inappropriate language...

Don't forget kasiano and mikaele is new as well really, If mikaele plays how he did in his first couple of games he will be a great addition, maybe needs to contribute for a but longer though. I think we have a great pack even with Dudson out. Vaughan, bullock, kasiano, mikaele is streets ahead of what we started last year with.

Re: Josh McGuire potential ban : Wed Feb 15, 2023 1:50 pm  

Well I hope I'm proven wrong but Mikaele is looking more and more like a liability. Having him and Kasiano on the field at the same time will leave us in a world of defensive trouble IMO.
