Player squares up to opponent, footage does not demonstrate player spitting at opponent. Information from opponent confirms player did not spit at him. Opponent doesn’t react. No case to answer 

DECISION:

No charge 

INCIDENT:

Spitting in the 76th minute (Beswick)

[the old nine ole]

The real frustration is we were in a very attacking position .... this incident curtailed what was a realistic chance of winning the game! 

[Wakefield Ram]

Given they missed a blindingly obvious tip tackle on Worrincy just before this,  hard to believe Annakin got red carded for nothing when we were attacking their line. 

[Rambo]

Absolutely shocking. They should have been absolutely certain that this happened to send him off.

Not only did this take away a good chance for us to win the game. The game was on Sky TV and affects Annakins reputation.

A public apology from the RFL? - I won’t hold my breath!

These things happen. There is no point in getting worked up about it .
