Here we go again http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 994419.stm

We've been targeted by teams all season in this regard. That tackle IMO was at a crucial moment in the game and effectively gave Leeds the greenlight to shithouse and niggle a la Huddersfield.Why? Because they knew there was going to be no comeback.

Who exactly does this 1 match ban benefit. Not us who should have been playing 12 men for over 40 minutes.

Absolute shite.

It benefits us if we win on Friday! To be fair to Albert, I don't think it was a sending off offence.

Hmm. I'm not capable of rational dissection at the minute.

My head say's you're probably right. My heart says send him off the cheating B.

I'll probably change my mind when we have the gamemanship of the sledgers in chief Hoffman and Finch next year.

Won't benefit us when he gets cleared on appeal

I think now Leeds would have preferrred to lose to us. Look at their situation. If Mcguire had not made that tackle he would not have done his knee. However he did. He is history till when Hock gets back. Now Bud is suspended I thin they would have preferred to play HKR and use the ban up before the semi. If we are still arround I fancy our chances in a rematch semi without that pair. Mind you so might Stains.

well sadi and i agree entirely

It is academic because he is to appeal. And I bet the ban is scratched!

Saints can't choose Leeds in the semis. Wigan or Warrington (assuming both win eliminators)

just read the ban has been overturned at appeal... why am I not surprised?
