One match ? Moi Moi ( league one ) got four for supposed reckless if unintentional contact to the head ... but Samkins n Lulu ( SL stars ) get one and no onfield sanction for reckless yet unintentional direct contact to head

Because Tomkins is needed for the NZ series and Moi Moi wasn't needed by anyone other than Workington?

Just because I don't know doesn't mean I don't understand

And funnily enough the video evidence was a lot clearer . But Samkins seems pretty bullet proof looking at Saturday

I thought there was a big difference in the Tomkins/Charnley incidents.

Both made contact to the head with a knee. Both pretty reckless. Both could probably have been avoided.

IMO the trip was more clear cut, and like someone said on the match thread, a bit of leniency for a GF.  However, we cant show leniency and then punish after the fact.

Just far easier sticking to the rules and judging events on the pitch fairly.  Could've made a difference too.  ST placekicking was dire, but his kicking for field position was 1st class.

I've only seen the incidents live (and on the big screen) but my initial view is that Charnley's was faster and he was closer to the ball carrier, whereas Tomkins led with his legs (as he has a tendency to do). 

On the overall point, I think we have an interesting problem here, we have had 15 red cards this season in SL, but far more bans than that. In the NRL it is far more extreme than that. Are we being too lenient on the field to avoid ruining the game? If so, do we need to rethink, i.e. a red card where a sub can come on, or do we need to use the sin-bin more? 

We are contradicting ourselves as a game, keep banning people when a ref has decided that the offence is worth only a penalty.

Quite often if a team is reduced to 12 men it brings added drama to the game.  How often have we seen them go onto win or produce a heroic effort in defeat so the NRL's protection is misjudged in my view and a foolish path to follow especially when Elstones talking about bringing more excitement into the games.

I don't disagree. Whichever view you hold on this though, there is a clear disconnect with on-field punishment during the game and in the week after. I do think change needs to happen.

Having the system that we do does offer is advantages, however, I feel we’ve got to a point where referees won’t make a decision in regards to giving out cards and would rather leave it for the judiciary system.

And the advantage of the punishment goes to the team the offender plays next rather than the team he offended against.

Gaelic football and hurling do exactly what you are mooting, Dave.  In addition to red and yellow cards, which work as in soccer, they have a black card which, if I understand it correctly, means a player is dismissed for the duration of the game, but can be replaced by a team mate off the subs' bench.

Well, according to the rules (Laws) the "trip" was not illegal as he had a hand on him at the same time. It was called a Cumberland throw when I was a lad.

Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

If we play Catalans first (assuming no internationals count), we could bizarrely benefit from the ban... 

At the time, I thought the trip was appalling and the slide one of those things. Having seen them on the TV, I can see why he got away with the trip as his arms were in the vicinity (particularly when viewed from the referees angle). Having seen it up close and personal I have no doubt it was a deliberate trip, with the arms a token effort.

As for the slides, Charnley and Sam’s were much of a muchness. (Williams had nowhere to go and didn’t touch Josh for the record).

Exactly. You see exactly the same technique used numerous times throughout the course of the season. It sort of looked worse because of the speed he was going and the fact that he half broke the tackle. It certainly wasn't illegal though.

That was the weakest Cumberland throw I’ve ever seen then.  Usually, you got thrown over the hip.  Maybe a Chickenley hike.
