Quote RichieS="RichieS"I think I am safe to be able to say, the 24 month suspension that was initially expected was downgraded due to the fact UKAD collected the sample and it was left unattended for a period and was not submitted in line with the correct timescales. However, Zak himself held his hands up and fully admitted guilt, had he not done this there was a real potential for the whole thing to be thrown out.

I stand by my statements on here, it is a straight race...both Wigan & Warrington are interested with Warrington's owner Simon Moran extremely keen admirer, it will be Zaks choice to make.'"

We probably don't have any cap space. So many players have had their contracts renewed it's bound to affect the salary cap.


Trouble is our two highest paid players and them being two of our three marquee players haven't played for months. French has been out for a couple of months and Thompson since the Catalans game when we also lost Walters.  Although Walters has returned he was out for around 10-11 weeks Thompson still hasn't played.  That is just too much talent missing from the squad  not to have an adverse effect on performance..


If there was a shake up needed then Forber to be bench 9 instead of Leeming.  Walters right 2nd row and Junior off the bench. Maybe also Eckersley to replace Wardle for a couple of weeks so get Jake rested and fit again.


IMO our first 17-20 is the best in SL and by some distance. For that to be reflected in performance they all have to play especially our best players which they plainly have not.
