    question of technicality

    Ok. so as far as i know, Simon Black was suspended for three matches post GF. He also had surgery in the off season, (shoulder and ankle IIRC??) and is not expected back until mid to late april..............

    Soooo......

    What's to stop the Blions naming him in the squad for round 1, thus having him serve his suspension whilst still injured?

          I think that happens normally anyway for injured players who are suspended.
          Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

              The Lions don't have to name him in any squad. He is not eligible to play the first three games of the year. Full stop. Whether he would be able to play those games if not suspended is irrelevant. The suspension does not carry forward until such time as he is deemed fit to play.

                  fair enough. He gets off pretty easy then.
