Apparently a bad stomach bug or something along those lines went through the squad all this week.



Our star man Gaskell has been out since Wakey game and we don't look same. Mullaney filled his role against Salford but has been In and out of injuries all season.

It's been amazing really. We do our level best to kill [i:sme4zjobourselves[/i.



anyway, onwards and upwards, next stop Leigh!

Some talk of Lauaki getting 8 games, which is nuts, what did he do? He pushed the guy in the face, that's it, not good and not clever, but he didn't gouge and he certainly didn't make any movement across the face despite what the red signalled. One of their players did almost the same thing yet for some reason nobody has said a word. Weird. It isn't worth more than a 1 match ban.



If he gets more I think it's a favour to us as the cameos he puts in are too short, and he's a penalty machine at the moment.

It wasn't a malicious gouge, it was just dumb.

But he's a waste of space anyway so if a ban is what it takes to force Jimmy's stubborn hand, so be it.

It was stupid, to be honest but no "gouge", he pushed his head back, that's all. If Luaki had been the ball carrier it would just have have been called a "hand off" and not even commented on. It will be a hard decision finding someone to do the 15 minutes per match we'll lose if he's banned.

If we lose him for a few games it's no great loss. In fact I'd say it's a bonus since he's a waste of space.
