Gooleboy Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Maybe, but how can the RFL justify Watts punishment when Smith has conveniently got away scot-free with the WCC game coming up this weekend? They leave themselves wide open for ridicule and criticism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has previous got to do with Pele getting a smaller ban than the minimum for the grade, despite a deliberate swinging arm to the head AND throwing a punch in the resulting melee?

MZH Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 10 hours ago, RigbyLuger said: Watts because of his previous? I'd imagine that was taken into account. And whilst Pele was very reckless and overly aggressive the actual contact in his case was very minimal. Had he caught Minchella flush on the jaw I expect it would have been a lot more.

You're getting to grips with the forum then I see 1 Now then, it's a race between Sandie....and Fairburn....and the little man is in........yeees he's in. I, just like those Castleford supporters felt that the ball should have gone to David Plange but he put the bit betwen his teeth...and it was a try Kevin Ward - best player I have ever seen The real Mick Gledhill is what you see on here, a Bradford fan ........, but deep down knows that Bradford are just not good enough to challenge the likes of Leeds & St Helens.

LeeF Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 The full minutes for those which go to hearing are usually published after the deadline for any appeal has passed which will be either later today or more likely tomorrow. The rationale for the Disciplinary Panel’s changing of the grading or issuing a ban not at the lower end is usually included. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy in the knowledge that for over 60 years I have watched the best this sport has had to offer at professional level, it used to be that the refs got all the accolades when "they weren't noticed" during the game, the authorities have now put them at the centre of attention and then they sit back like "big brother" analysing and scouring every second of every game trying to find something that 3 onfield, two offield and those in attendance on the terraces and in the stands have not noticed, I will never get used to it nor will I want to try. I know, and video ref's at every SL game makes it even worse now. And Premier league fans think they've got it bad with VAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty certain they will be running written report through their legal representatives before issue. Overall, I think the whole process could have been introduced much better.

Ligi Sao was successful in appealing his grading. https://www.rugby-league.com/article/62479/disciplinary-|-operational-rules-tribunal Based on previous examples Sao was quite lucky he didn't get charged with contact with the referee as he clearly put his hand on him after the sending off (0.26 on the video). Just to be clear, I am glad he wasn't charged as it was the merest of contact but in the past couple of years we have seen even accidental contact be punished. Chaos!

Chrispmartha Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I think Lisone 3 games is rather harsh with Donaldson only getting 2. Seems the wrong way round (I think 1 for Lisone was probably about right) Oh and they gave now rightly backtracked on the ridiculous Nu Brown incident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think the disciplinary should have given for that rather tame high tackle? This thread aint about on field referees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
