Gelling clearly isn't fit anyway. Even if he doesn't get banned, which he will, I doubt we'd have seen him next weekend.

True, thigh was treated a couple of times on Monday.. Did Tomkins return in the second half, or is my old brain missing things?

Gelling did lift the leg but I think it was the effect Powell had when he came in to tackle that made it look a lot worse making it a lot more dangerous.

That is why the ruling of when a leg is lifted in the tackle the referee shouts held to stop additional players entering the tackle.

He's taken the EGP, one match ban.

Looking on the bright side, hopefully he can get over his injuries for the cas game.

If SW didn't think he'd be right for Cas, I can't imagine he'd have used the EGP.

Not that I noticed, and the WEP reports he's doubtful for Sunday.

If you are charged with an offence, you have to use the EGP if its available, you can't save it for a future indiscretion.

You can contest the charge at the disciplinary hearing and if found not guilty will still have an EPG available.
