Just wondering if a reserve fixture classes as a match if first team not playing that weekend.
If so, have we got a fixture next week for the reserves

I'm pretty sure it does if there is no first team game in the same week.

Won't help Salabio. He's heading for a long ban.

How can they charge him with a Grade F Dangerous Tackle when he was the attacking player?

It looked very bad but let’s be real, it was just unfortunate and nothing else, there was no poor tackle technique because it wasn’t a tackle and there was no malicious intent. It was nothing more than an aggressive carry/fend on a small player who left the ground of his own accord and everything after that was just one of those things when balance, forces etc combine and Myler ends up in a compromised position. (Not for the first time, I know)

I think he had dropped the ball into Myler who obviously caught it hence the tackle.

We’ll miss Sam Hewitt’s defence and his enthusiasm

So how come Handley hasn’t got a ban for tripping?

Handley didn't trip. He was off for an obstruction.
Was also right in front of me.

We're you on the bench ?

Totally agree, in fact it all starts off where the lad is not stood up right and Myler swings around his neck with both arms and gets him in an headlock. It all goes horrible from thereon , but he is the attacking player and I think initially he was trying to shake Myler off. Hell get a ban but I think there is some mitigation

That's not what I saw.
Hugo dropped the ball into Myler's hands and then tackled him.
I haven't checked it on Trinity TV but that actually was right in front of me.

Handley was quite near me to clarify but if you watch it, Handley has his arms around him so not a trip.

Just watched it. It happens on 53 minutes on Trinity TV.
It happens just like I said. He fumbled the ball into Myler's hands. The only thing that might save him is that Myler lands flat on his back and that Myler was already over his shoulder from the fumble so just standing up would have caused a problem.
You can't quite see it on TV but I think he has his arms round him. If so he'll get the ban. If not he might get reduced.
