The Ghost of 99 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 4 minutes ago, bobbruce said: Saints claimed it was a professional foul but not foul play one would have a completely different out come. What did Newman appeal did he say he didn’t shout at the ref. Leeds have put a few ###### poor appeals in it doesn’t mean every unsuccessful appeal is now frivolous. Leeds' Newman appeal was based on what he did not having been something bans had been handed out for before. They provided voluminous comparable examples, but it was dismissed as frivolous.

Josef K Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 33 minutes ago, bobbruce said: It might’ve been a case of trying to keep the player happy by doing everything possible to give him a chance. No matter how futile. I’m glad he didn’t get his ban reduced, i would’ve been embarrassed. I’ve not spoken to any Saints fan (so far) who have said “he shouldn’t have been suspended”. Id imagine there will be some on the cesspit that is Facemuck & Twits and other sites(if there are any) who will be saying “the RFL are corrupt”. But you will never change their views because everything is against their club. They go to a game thinking their side has been robbed even before KO, and leave the ground thinking the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if they do or don't but in the Newman example they challenged the grading citing similar examples. One thing we do know of this system, and it's frustratingly opaque, is that producing that sort of evidence to try to benchmark the gradings doesn't work and leads down the road to frivolity.

Are you sure the cited examples were similar? If they weren't, it would be frivolous. Do you have a list of clubs found to have made frivolous appeals? I'm pretty sure Trinity haven't.

The minutes will be there at the RFL go check it out. I’ve just checked the Reese Martyn one and it’s basically like I said. They even say there was no basis in law for the appeal and it was just basically a claim for clemency. That’s why it was deemed frivolous. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just looked basically the appeal consisted of Newman telling them he’s a passionate player and Rohan Smith saying he uses his hands a lot when he talks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have some common ground on that Juggy, well said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedford Roughyed Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Second appeal won. Free to play final.... With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn’t happen at all - so, this new judiciary are saying the ref was wrong, the MRP panel was wrong and the appeal panel was wrong. The game really doesn’t help itself sometimes does it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
