JohnM Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 RFL disciplinary process sinks to new low after showing Hull KR no compassion. Er...It's disciplinary not seminary. https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/rfl-disciplinary-process-hull-kr-7536143?utm_source=linkCopy&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RigbyLuger Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) It's the RFL's fault that players break the rules? They should let players off if they're retiring? Wakefield's players are to blame for Litten being punished? Poor old Hull KR, who bleated about wanting an elite academy? This is another new low.

Jughead Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I find myself disagreeing with more and more of Shaw’s opinions. I thought he had potential to be one of the better journalists in the sports but he’s gone well off the boil and blaming the sport for banning players who committed banning offences is a particularly new low. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M j M Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 You may or may not agree with some of the MRP's decisions this year, and I think most of us are dissatisfied with some of their judgements and inconsistency. But that take from Matt Shaw is, not for the first time recently, utterly laughable. Is he deliberately trying to not be taken seriously? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Stein Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Arguing that there is no consistency between the NRL and Super League disciplinaries does appear rather odd. As does using player welfare arguments to say dangerous tackles shouldn't be punished 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Browny Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 What an odd article. Talk about playing to the gallery and forgetting that everyone else can see you. 4 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Or course they shouldn't, but this hasn't snuck up on them as a surprise either. It hasn’t but as you say, it was a decision made by bean counters. We saw in 2020 that games couldn’t be fulfilled through injury, illness and suspension, I’m not sure why they thought it would be better now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeF Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Shaw has written some dreadful articles this season but this tops them all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris22 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 This thread shows that Matt Shaw is getting the desired results. The 'Reach' group, in fact any online media organisations rates their journalists by how many 'clicks' they get and in turn, how much website / ad revenue is collected. That's what makes money. It's also what makes reputable journalists write desperate things designed to provoke a reaction. I doubt he believes half of the guff he writes, but that's what he has to do to make a living and to avoid having to justify his salary to the top brass at Reach. As a result, we get a large volume of articles (more clicks) with ever declining quality (because that's not relevant to media organisations). 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz39 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) Good god that's appaling journalism, it could be copied and pasted off a facebook group or indeed on here but has been allowed to be published by a 'national media' outlet? This is my favourite!! Quote and everyone accountable for this situation should be accountable. Edited September 4, 2022 by daz39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
