Yes if they use abusive language like McGuire has alleged to have used.

Depends how bad/what was said I guess then. Any idea what alleged?

It rhymes with Plastic.

Bad enough to meet the criteria for six games is the answer to that. If the sport wants to move on and appeal to a wider audience, it has to leave the meatheads behind.

If he get 6 games that’s a big blow for Powell.



Signing those 4 power forwards in McGuire, Vaughan, Dudson and Kasiano is an interesting gamble . I think McGuire will still have a real desire to compete, how much he has left in the tank, who knows.

If Vaughan really wants it he could be a standout as he has a lot to offer.

Discipline will also be key and both Vaughan and McGuire will have to adapt or risk missing most of the year.

I watched our (Wire) friendly v Leigh. Vaughan will be superb for us this year, lots of minutes and big metres. Could be one of SL's stand out props. McGuire is a real on field competitor and leader - still looked very good in attack and defence. I suspect we'll miss him massively but he deserves any ban coming to him.

Very quiet on here with the squad announced for Thurs. Probably Roberts, Tindall, Ruan and Mcdonnell to drop out. Fancy Smith will start Martin and Olpherts (though Roberts has gone well) at centre with Tetevano/Walters and Gannon back row with all 5 'Props' in the 17. Tough going with 4 starters out, but I'm intrigued as to what glimpses of Smiths style for the year that we will see.

I think Smith might prefer Martin in the centres so



1. Myler

2. Fusitua

3. Olpherts

4. Martin

5. Handley

6. Austin

7. Sezer

8. Holroyd

9. Leeming

10. Lisone

11. Gannon

12. Tetevano

13. Smith



14. OConner

15 Danger

16. Holroyd

17. Walters/Donaldson



The other alternative is Fusitua in the Centre Tetevano on the bench and Martin in the SR



I think all the pressure is on Wire here, Powell has to get off to a good start or he is toast, Although I d really like us to have a good start for once

I think that's most likely. I'd take a gamble and play Roberts, allowing Martin to play second row and Tetevano to move back to the middle. Will be interesting to see how we go without a lot of attacking strike, although not exactly a novel situation for us.

Tindall or roberts on the wing in that scenario?



I think it will look like the 17 you've named.

Who would sit out in that case? I'd say Walters has done more for a place than Tetevano.

Just don’t see Rohan not picking Tetevano. Straight contest between Walters and Donaldson on the bench. I'd go big and pick Walters. Anyway, I think you're original pick is the most likely choice.
