Interesting. We have a free for all on shoulder charges to the head.

You know us FC fans are always right Roy. Was never a sending off. Weres Dave T when we need him.

I'm here.

Read the next line down, it says - referred.

The Super League website also confirms he has been charged, not sure whether the RFL's website is an error or whether something has changed although that has never happened before (I know there have been canges this year though on the disciplinary).

Also, I never stated he should be banned or whatever, I stated the shoulder hit Rinaldi in the face - it did. Not my fault you want to ignore that.

[BulldogBurt]

The Tommy Lee 'tackle' was the most blatant abuse of the 'on report' system I've seen so far. IMO this cop out needs taking away from referees because as far as I can see it serves no purpose whatsoever, as players can be charged whether 'on report' or not (I stand to be corrected on this as not 100% sure). I know TL has stated it was unintentional and that he and Briers are good mates but the ref doesn't know this, all he knew was that it was clear foul play, therefore his only decision in this clear cut case should have been red or yellow?

I have just read it again and Dave is right. I think you have jumped the gun mate.

1 Game ban and fine.
Rule 1 of trl - never listen to Roy

I expect a few more red cards this year then, how many similar tackles will go unpunished this season.

Not just this season.Take a look at this one from 2009 with no case to answer and tell me what the difference is to the Moa incident.

tell me what the difference is to the Moa incident.

Maybe you can ask Sam himself since he pleaded guilty.

Not that it's stopping the Hull fans on Rlfans blaming the RFL.

Maybe he didn't wanna doin the roulette wheel that is the RFL disciplinary committee's outcomes.

Maybe you can ask Sam himself since he pleaded guilty.

Almost certainly a tactical move to get the charge downgraded, I would think. A naive attempt at 'plea bargaining' if you will.

Ill advised IMO.

[Gav Wilson]

Correct decision on both counts IMO.

There is no difference. Just as there was no difference when O'Meley knocked Roby out at the KC with an almost identical challenge.

If this marks a shift in interpretation of the law then fair enough but I hope it will be applied consistently.

[my missus]

well this went unpunished so why change.

Not a cat in hells chance..typical RFL judiciary decision. There will be no consistency unless you play for the big 4 that is.

mmmm I would say that is probably slightly worse. Otherwise it is practically a carbon copy, even down to the Leeds players patting Bailey on the head and back.
