Hudgell slams RFL judiciary panel

[Lowdesert]

Posted Sky as the HDM is too full of ads.

I thought Hudgell was part of the judiciary panel?

He's a naughty boy calling Cullen's impartiality into question.

[RLDave]

Ah, that's what happened to Cullen!

Support a Championship/League 1 team, that’s a real eye opener on some of the disciplinary decisions!

[Les Tonks Sidestep]

I'm also wondering how Matt Parcell could be up twice for 'deliberate or reckless contact with a match official' during one game but only get 1 match for each?

I think Scott Taylor got a similar punishment.  2 offences, 1 match for each.

Made me laugh that the game Tomkin's will miss is against Warrington. No conflict of interest from the ex-Warrington player and coach Paul Cullen. He should have recused himself.

The RFL have repealed the death penalty for Barrow players that are brought to them

They use ex-players all the time. They often judge on cases involving their ex clubs.

The system would break down if we had to find people with no history.

If the RFL don't come down hard on Hudgell for questioning the integrity of the disciplinary then we may as well give up.

That kind of paranoid nonsense is for us fans!

Yeah, we need a fans' union or a injuction against people who steal our intellectual property!

Does anyone have the link to where Hudgell complained about the pathetically low ban Tomkins got for abusing a referee earlier this season? I'm struggling to find a link

Won’t be long before Super League do their own judiciary stuff then...

Well he is one of these very knowledgeable go forward Chairmen

[Dave T]

It is interesting how his chum Carter supported him on Twitter, but both were at pains to explain the system was fine (because they were both involved) but it was the people involved.

Classless guff from both of them.

I think this is a really serious allegation from him that has to be taken further by the RFL, but I fear they are frightened to death of upsetting the SL bosses.

I agree. It is a test for the RFL and whether they can stand up for the integrity of the sport

Wonder if he would be as bothered about a one match ban for Tomkins if they were playing a League 1 team this weekend in the Cup?

Warrington probably didn't want him banning as he is a penalty machine and therefore likely to be an asset for them this weekend

[Dave T]

It is interesting that Tomkins already has two bans this year, they were listed on the file as aggravating factors, but he still received the lower end punishment of 1 match for this incident. 

Reading the file is interesting, Hudgell is clearly peeved because his legal arguments didn't lead to a victory here.

Maybe not but if you ever get a paper cut at work Dave, Hudgell's your man.

30 day suspension and final warning.  This is your second suspension, hence the public version and the very lengthy one.
