[roboshark]

our new signing is facing a 5 week suspension after being sent off in the knights premier league semi on the weekend..

looks like not being available for selection early in 2008

source...NBN news

I just posted that in the thread from when we signed him. Haha.

2 charges. A dangerous throw and a headbutt. Both looked pretty bad. Can argue no intent for the dangerous throw, but the headbutt whilst in possesion of the ball was ugly and stupid and uncalled for.

you guys will be wanting newcastle to make the PL GF then - that will be three games served.

Good point.

Do trials still count as matches for suspended players?

 

[carinashark]

I like the sound of this guy Snowden, bit of an ugly player and might be handy for the team photo as well.

:lol:

lol, if only.

 

[Nuffs]

ummm i think the trial matches DO count towards suspensions

i remember hearing/reading about this when the Souths dude got suspended

i'm probably wrong

 

[blacktip-reefy]

I'm with you Nuffs, I think they do too. The trials are part of the NRL sanctioned/endorsed whatever country carnival. Taking games to the bush. etc.

In the words of the great J. McEnroe..

"Surely you can't be serious"

Yep they spoke about that on the Footy Show on Sunday.

It was news to me.

 

[jc155776]

Trials count, but only a maximum of two can count.

 

[Ausguy]

is he going to be in out first grade side anyway?

 

[Special K]

I think he will play more first grade games then PL games for us next season.

Also him missing games due to suspension means he'll get whipped even harder by our coaching staff which is good because we need him to drop a few kg's.

I really think a change of scenery will do him well
