Lowdesert Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 1 and 2 games respectively. Connor for verbal abuse towards the Ref and Sammut did a Houston by making contact with the Ref. Hull are appealing, obviously as they are short of halves, but stuff like this from players in friendlies is just plain daft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not connected to these two players but I hope this is a sign refs are going to crack down on all forms of disrespect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be Bob. IMO, continually questioning the Ref, when a decision has been made that is so obvious, falls into that category too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has all the skills. I can’t think of another British back who is as good and I hope this is a blip. England need Connor imo. Surprised Sammut hasn’t got a longer ban. Houston got caned for his contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no issue at all with his niggle and his getting under the oppositions skin, he has a reputation and he plays to it, and that's fine, but he needs to be smarter about it. You can't be swearing at referees and I have no problem with the ban whatsoever. It leaves Hull with a headache for the Derby though because it doesn't seem like Kelly will be fit and Sneyd has only had very limited minutes in pre season after returning from injury.

I know, the rfl are crazy for not allowing players to gob of at refs because they are a "star player". Should go one further and put the "star player" in a special shirt and let them break any rules they want, because they are a "star player".

Let's imagine this happened. The RFL come out and say "Jake Connor and Jarrod Sammut have been abusive/made contact with a match official, but we aren't going to ban them because they're high-profile players and they have a big opening game of the season". I'm sure that would be well received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the problem you think this is trivial I’d say the majority of us don’t think abusing Refs verbally or physically is trivial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and manhandling the ref is never acceptable so the punishment is appropriate. He only has himself to blame. Now let's move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is one of these matters that we will just never agree on, in that I don't think that abuse of match officials is a trivial matter.
