correct 2019 against toronto

Bradford Bulls player George Flanagan pleaded guilty to a Grade F charge of an "Attack to the testicles" during his team's match against Toronto Wolfpack on Sunday, August 4.

The Tribunal agree with the grading and the player received an 8 match suspension and a £250 fine.

 

[Chris Taylor]

Not sure what's worse this repeated offence or that ridiculous headbutt incident against Doncaster a few years ago.

[Lowdesert]

Who’d have thunk it.  A small section of the T&A from last time:

“JOHN Kear doesn’t want George Flanagan to change.

The battle-hardened hooker is back in action this weekend after serving his lengthy ban.

Flanagan has not played since last August when he was suspended for attacking an opponent’s testicles.

But the 33-year-old returns to the fray in the Bulls’ Challenge Cup fourth-round clash with amateurs Underbank Rangers.

And Kear said: “The reason we signed George Flanagan is because we want him to be George Flanagan.”

Well he has been.  

[RigbyLuger]

Should be a ban longer than the usual for not learning his lesson.

[dkw]

Disgusting to do it even once, to do it twice he should be banned sine die, horrible cretin.

He's probably a "character" and all that to try and defend it.

 

Had Makinson had the same track record, he'd get the same treatment 

[paulwalker71]

It's impossible to defend this.

You could think that once was a rush of blood, but do this a second time having already been up before the RFL seems like it would have to be either a massive ban or even sine die

I think we really should be getting rid - he's not adding anything much to the team anyway, and has clearly got 'issues'

Fair point, i'll be interested to see the internal actions by Bradford (if of course it is deemed that he did it).

If guilty for the second time he needs to be made an example of. This is one of the worst things you can do on a field and to do it a second time is appalling

You'd imagine so.

I was in the crowd for this.

Ain't seen nothing like it,before or since,thank goodness

I wonder why youth participation numbers are decreasing?

Punishments to fit the crime would make a refreshing change.

That's the one!

[hunsletgreenandgold]

Crossed paths with him a few times when he played at Hunslet - odd little chap. Throw the book at him and hopefully he'll consider retirement.

Squirrel tackle 

second time offender should have the book thrown at him

[Joe Aitcheson]

No question, life ban. The game will be better without this idiot.

Thrown at his testicles.

And then a life ban.

That say's it all really 

[wasginger]

Well having only played amateur, in the 70's and 80's. I wouldn't call myself a dirty player, but if you think grabbing someone by the testicles is terrible, awful, deserves a life ban. Sometimes to stop a dirty player from their tactics, grabbing somebody's testicles, usually gets their attention. 

[DavidM]

What a surprise , and cries like a baby when anything comes his or his teams way . Was gonna say he’s a nut job ... but in the circumstances ....

[Mumby Magic]

Tbh I DID like him but this and the other footage is well pathetic really. 

We have Sam Hallas and Thomas Doyle however with Hallas out for 6 weeks aswell he has let himself and the club down.
