Championship Disciplinary

[LeeF]

2 Grade F charges and a Grade D

Having seen the video of the Holroyd/ Shorrocks incident Holroyd should be looking at a very lengthy ban

Got to be looking at a pretty lengthy ban, it was utterly ridiculous. 

[Spidey]

10 Matches for Holroyd 

[M j M]

So they're saying that was as bad as the Pryce tackle. Miles over the top IMO.

10 is harsh imo.

would be interesting to find out why he lost his rag, I don’t think he’s done anything like this before

There were several punches - he went into beast mode hitting anything that moved near him

heres the footage, 10 seems a lot to me

This. If the guy doesn't go down then the ban is a fraction of what he got.

[The Blues Ox]

Shouldnt be punnished because the second guy he clocked can't throw as good of a punch. 10 games is ridiculous. I think 3 would be fair.

[Spidey]

If you go off what bans have been dished out before for punching, his actions are worse so the ban is worse - has anybody read the notes of the disciplinary yet?

They don't need to, they've made up their mind.

A player missing 1/3rd of a season because of a brawl is way OTT in my opinion.

are the meeting notes available?

Thing is it was a one man brawl - he lashed out at any player that moved, for me he totally lost control

If it was a one man brawl why has another ayer been banned for hitting him from behind?

ive no issue with a ban but 10 games is excessive for s player with no previous

His actions were excessive and cannot be defended. It is the worse case of punching to the head this season hence the longest ban. His behaviour was 100% unacceptable and indefensible.

I’ve not defended it or said it’s acceptable 

[RigbyLuger]

Knowing how dangerous a punch can be, surely that warrants as ban as long as one for a dangerous tackle?

Absolutely fine with ten games. You can’t go around hitting three people like that.

It’s funny how we’ve gone from “Morgan Smithies should have been sent off” being shouted from the roof-tops to “Ten games? For that? Games gone soft” again inside 72 hours.

For some reason it seems that "punching" isn't seen as dangerous. No idea why.

The two opinions don’t contradict each other though do they.

I don’t think the games gone soft, far from it, i just think 10 is too much, i was expecting 6-8 games.

[M j M]

Major false equivalency being made between being ten games for one offence and nothing on field for two offences.

There's a balance in between and this ban is miles out of kilter. Unfortunately the appeals process is now so deliberately broken that it's not even worth going down that route.

Who was the hero who ran in hit him in the back of the head and ran off
