That's what is being reported by journalists but I haven't found any detail about the practicalities of it. Could be key for us regarding Lisone - he got his 5 points on 22nd February 2024 and we play round 2 this year on 22nd February 2025 so I would hope they will have disappeared by then but who knows?

But players' past records over previous seasons were a factor in how their offences were graded and judged under the old system. Thdidn't enter the new year with a clean record and attempting to mirror this would seem appropriate to me. Burgess whining because his team is an ill-disciplined rabble isn't a good reason to change anything.

fair point. but, given how this system will be coming in, how do you begin?

Been really busy with work and so on so not had time to get any updates from my source until today.

So we definitely want to bring Watkins in but apparently don’t have a lot of cap to play with which is a bit of a surprise considering we released 10 players and only brought in 5 this offseason but suppose you have to take into consideration of players getting upgraded contract extensions etc but it also highlights some of our squad are on a fair chunk on money.

Hetherington & Blease are pushing for the Watkins deal as 50k of Watkins salary would be payed by the RFL and he also boosts our back row options but we’ll have to see what comes of the Salford situation in the near future.

The Harvey Livett deal seems to have fallen through as the club is prioritising getting Watkins in.

And finally It wouldn’t be a Leeds pre season with injury concerns or worries been told the following.

O’Connor out til Round 3-6

Edgell out indefinitely with broken jaw

Ned McCormack & Ben Littlewood knocks in training not sure on the severity.

Jake Connor knock in training but should be fine to play this weekend

Miller looking to return to play between round 1-2

We’d have to have the worst luck in the world if all 3 of our fullback options are injured at the same time.

No further action against Harry Smith for the head high on Clune yesterday. If ever there was a case for dealing with incidents missed on the day (in this case that is inexplicable in itself)  then this is it imo.

Yep not to mention the hit on Frawley leading to his failed HIA. How does a player get a head shot and it’s legal?
