According to the paper, Hull KR fans have accused the RFL disciplinary panel of inconsistency, after Cockayne received the severest punishment. So the paper contacted the RFL to ask them to justify it...

"His poor disciplinary record in Super League-which had seen him referred to the disciplinary panel six times in four years-and his entering of a "not guilty" plea to the charge of fighting, were also taken into consideration"

"I don't see what all the fuss is about. I mean, it's only fair after last year isn't it? Look Neil, just for you, I've put my best Rovers' tie on today in the hope it'll go some way to make up for it. Oh, by the way, Jon sends his regards."

He must be even dumber than I thought he was.

That's a very good point. Surely it's in the interest of all clubs to present the best case for any of their players up before the beak. And as I imagine the RFL disciplinary panel will have watched the game and will have all the video evidence they need, clearly a "not guilty" verdict on the charge of fighting was lunacy.

"I don't see what all the fuss is about. I mean, it's only fair after last year isn't it? Look Neil, just for you, I've put my best Rovers' tie on today in the hope it'll go some way to make up for it. Oh, by the way, Jon sends his regards."
