Cheshire Setter Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Lineham is such a strange one. He’s a fantastic all-round winger, but every now and then he does something unfathomable. He’s an intelligent guy by all accounts so I can only imagine the reasoning behind all this is that his boyhood hero was Kelvin Skerrett or something. Or maybe he shouldn’t be sat next to naughty Westwood at lunch time in training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they just used the existing footage, then clear evidence didn’t really exist imo. The tenth of a second I saw it looked like he launched into the head.

All clubs are required to provide the RFL with a visual recording of all home games for use by the disciplinary panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think had we had more time to see the incidents we could have discussed it better, but the 2 or 3 angles Sky showed were pretty fleeting and it looked like shoulder to me. I expect the RFL will have had every angle though so should be able to get a better view. I thought it was very late, but it was unclear where the point of contact was - they obviously have footage to confirm it was high. Cant have any issues with it.

Dave T Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 By the way, in terms of process, what does this mean. Does he get a 3 match ban without a disciplinary? How does that work, it seems a strong punishment without a chance to have it reviewed with the full process and chance to mount a defence. Or can Lineham/Wire not accept the charge and ask for a hearing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo the punishments fair enough, although if he appeals the disciplinary might stretch it until the end of July. Worth a gamble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth a gamble Yeah it was more about the process, I always thought the more serious offences had to have a hearing, imho Grade C and 3 matches is pretty serious nowadays in SL.

Cheshire Setter Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Is the length of the ban not also taking into account he has a history of this sort of thing? He copped a ban in 2017 for use of the forearm and then 2 matches I think for the late swing on Regan Grace a couple of months back. I would have hoped he’d been told to sort himself out.

Almost certainly the case, lineham has history of late hits to the head and as you’ve said the most recent was earlier this year. The more he does it the longer his bans will get.

If the player has: - No record showing two or more offences in last 24 months, including one in last 12 months; and no similar offence (as defined in the Sentencing Guidelines) at Grade C or above in last 24 months = penalty at lower end of range (for example – one match for Grade B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mention, so I assume it has been accepted. Looks like the exact same thing happened last year where he was charged with a Grade C tackle on Manfredi - this was challenged and downgraded to a B.
