This chicken wing thing is ridiculous.

Why did Maurie get banned for one game straight up with no warning letter?

I think the one match ban is correct (or even more) but it needs to be implemented for every player who is caught chicken winging.

This is the RFL your on about, the RFL disciplinary, the panel of plebs who say "1 match ban sir" and then the next week say "nothign to answer for sir" for the very same incident... never say the RFL judges are ridiculous, they are jsut misunderstood and a little jellified in the brain.

Senior's late knee's into Ade's face is a 5 matcher if I ever seen one.

I noticed and remarked at the time about the knee in Ade's face. Diskin and Sinfield are one of the main culprits of going into the tackle with their knees though.

At least Burgess is still facing a ban.

It's too inconsistant, Maurie got a match ban but Diskin didn't for his chicken wing on Wheeler the other week.

I'm afraid I have to agree, shouldn't be warning letters, if it's a chicken wing tackle it's a one match ban. End of.

Pryce got a way with a blatant pull back on Gibson however.

I am sure I read the other week that the panel consists of 6 persons. Three sit one week and three the next. If that is the case then that is were the inconsistances lie. I suppose it depends whose on the panel for the particular week if you are up on a charge.

Luke Burgess, high tackle on Roby, 1-4 match ban.

I thought that when I saw it. Not even put on report by the ref. I'd love to know how many matches are missed by players banned for fouls that don't get sent off for, surely sending off is a much better deterrent and much fairer to the team fouled against than a ban when they can just rotate another player in to replace him.
