Tommygilf 7,289 Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) From t'other thread One game ban for McIlorum and 2 grade F charges for "other contrary behaviour" for him and Tomkins. That the video referee stepped in for neither is quite worrying, particularly the McIlorum incidents. The one game ban particularly questions the referees as it would arguably have not been in place should a card etc been shown and thus sufficient punishment dished out. Grade F charges carry a minimum 8 game suspension. To put it into perspective, the bans they face would have put them out of two-thirds of the games Catalans have actually played this season. That neither were rebuked on the night is rather shocking. Its unbelievable that an 8 game ban worthy incident (on top of a 1 game ban worthy incident) where there was a stoppage in play to review it by the ref, 2 Assistants and the video ref, and 3 prior penalties for high tackles recieved no punishment on the night. Its genuinely shocking and thankfully didn't have worse repercussions for Dwyer. Edited November 16, 2020 by Tommygilf 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The McIlorum grade f charge was for picking up Dwyer and dropping him after knowing he had hit him high. In his small brain he was trying to stop Dwyer playing for a penalty. It could have been an Adam Obrien scenario and such actions would have been much worse. In any case, touching an injured player (that you have injured!) is beyond the pale. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is why you don't touch an injured player especially with a head knock. 9 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We are seeing some particularly unsavoury incidents at the moment that are pretty much sexual assault, and we should be coming down on it very, very hard. But then we do things like make excuses for Makinson and reduce bans and we condone it. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
