Thank god

Bloody ridiculous!

Most of the bans are a complete joke, but it's the way things are going, prior to the game changing beyond all recognition.
Byrne and his tackling technique is a liability under the current rules.
The farcical thing this week is that Makinson only gets 1 game, served in a Reserves game.
On the up side we will be without Byrne for 2 games, give Harvie Hill a chance, or for the unknown get Walters in for the semi.

Walter’s is a second row not a prop even though Leeds used to play him out of position as prop.

He is now becoming a liability and he is no good to us if he isn't available.
The competition amongst the forwards is high - as it should be - and there plenty of other players who will contribute more than he does.
I squirmed when he was sin binned at Huds. To quote a well know comedian "I don't believe it".

[Ipinwigan]

Move Ellis back to prop as Saturday and then use Walters as a sub and move O'Neill to loose forward, again as Saturday.

Can he serve one match vs HKR and the other in the reserves on Sunday?

[Ipinwigan]

Hopefully not.
We have far better prop options.
