People have criticised the Super 8's previously because the top 4 have been decided so early. Definitely not this time. 3rd vs 5th and 4th vs 6th with a few weeks to go and Hull vs Wakey and Wakey vs Wigan also and Hull might need to go to Cas final week and need a result. Going to be good to watch.

I see rat boy from leeds took his EGP in the end. Big decision not to send him off last week as it would probably have swung the game in our favour.

As for us, best case scenario we have michaels, green, bin man and ellis missing which we should be able to cope with.

Worst case michaels, green, bin man, ellis, tuimavave, griffin, watts and mini which would realistically see us with only a slim chance of picking up the points. I'd guess somewhere between the 2 but I don't expect tuimavae to play at the minimum. I think griffin, watts and mini will be back.

Anyone any idea how long it takes to recover from an appendix op? I'd guess green will struggle to play again this season

I reckon about 6 weeks, so very unlikely to regain full fitness in that time.

I'm sure there are exceptions, but it will depend on the individual and type of "work".

Players don't always get punished enough for foul play. Sneyd's crocodile roll on McGuire a couple of years ago at Headingley a perfect example of a player getting off softly.

ban length was correct imo seeing as mcdermott tried to sway the panel into thinking mcguire was out for weeks when in reality it was 1 game!

as for burrow, to some on here he will be viewed as a grub for his headbutt just because he took offence to the hand off from connor! imo video ref should have viewed the incident just like the ellis one earlier in the game, no doubt he had, burrow would've walked

A head butt is a straight red so both the ref and VR bottled it.

If anyone has read League Weekly Cummings column absolutely slates Hulls indiscipline and says we crossed the line with the ref.
says Leeds took all the decisions on the chin and just got on with it.

I don't understand why he didn't view it when it was plainly intentional if Child hadn't seen it. VR was quick enough to whisper in refs ear about he Ellis incident which was clearly not intentional.

Ban length was around 2 weeks too short, doesn't matter what the coach said. What are you views on Radfords comments about wishing he could've got away with dropping the head on someone? Perfectly fine I imagine?

I haven't heard radfords' interview, so cant comment, but the arm flapping from mcdermott after that tackle proved it was way over the top for a player who missed 1 game, the length of the ban was correct, 2 games irrc
