One of those shoulder pads like in American football?

Disagree.

I thought we did really well considering we started the game with just 10 men.

Bullshit! Why don’t you go and support another team - preferably up north.

No , something like a thin plastic shoulder guard . Something lightweight that you wouldn't notice under his shirt . Like I said , it was only a thought because he was holding his shoulder after the game today . The last thing we need is for him to injure it again

Someone higher up the chain of command has banned him from doing them, presumably for a specified period.
Probably to teach him a lesson about the need for more professionalism in front of camera.

If the club wasn’t so poo poo at comms in general they would have come clean about this already.

The club way when there's any sort of issue be it with injury, transfer etc. seems to be say nothing and hope it goes away. Problem they cause for themselves is that fans will then fill in their own version of what they believe to be true instead. So if they don't want rumour and negativity they need to come out and be more open. They tried this "control the narrative" nonsense in the Embleton days, it didn't work then and it isn't working now.

I may be in a minority here but I don't mind the PT interviews, he makes his points and answers the questions as they come. The fact it's the same problems after each loss does mean they sound pretty similar but that's a product of the game rather than the interview itself imo
