The major problem is that the Sky matches have multiple cameras and therefore multiple angles to have views of any incident. I was at HKR yesterday and didn't see the Charnley incident and there was no camera evidence. I did see Ben Cockayne throwing punches as it was directly in front of where we were sat. It would appear that hasn't been picked up by the camera as it was away from the ball.

Had the game been on Sky then I suspect the review committee would have had a much clearer view on what happened..

And that is grossly wrong for a full time professional sport.

A quick count shows of the 13 charges the rfl have raised so far, 12 were from games on Sky ...

We will struggle without Amor next week or so. He's our only prop that can do decent mins. Big Alex is a 20 min player and Mose 8 min player so I think we will be counting on young Thonpson and Lms to do Amors mins.

I've not seen the incident on tv as couldn't be bothered watching the game again but from what I seen on the big screen it didn't look to bad and yellow seemed correct call.

Same with Burns, I've only seen it at the game and must admit I thought it was worthy of a ban.

Saints are appealing both decisions. Good on them, Saints should always be anti establishment and neither were really worthy of a ban, especially Burns's which looks softer and softer the longer I watch it. The Sky commentary at the time must be looked at as well.

Amors was a bad tackle but didnt look like there was any malice in it. Should be sin bin sufficient and a letter about technique.

...Talking of refereeing decisions, I'd like to see a replay of the Carney try from the kick. He's so fat and slow that there's no way he would have had time to move forwards 10m, plant his feet and wait for the ball to arrive if he was where he should have been when the kick went up.

Easily onside...don't be so sour.

Amor looked like he let go of the head and dropped his weight on the body? Think a two match ban would be very harsh.

I seem to remember Jones doing exactly the same thing on the NE part of the pitch, I think it was against the Catalans last season. Player retrieving the ball and slipped, Jonesy dropped on him.......penalty and that was the end of it.

When Amor walked off to the pitch he shrugged his shoulders to the crowd as though to say "what have I been sent off for" in my opinion there was no intent to injure so perhaps a warning of technique would have been suffice.

Re: Amor Sin Bin : Tue Mar 03, 2015 8:17 am  

What Amor did was reckless IMO. While the head did come loose it was quite clear than when Amor pushed down, he pushed the player's head forward into his own chest with all Amor's weight going on the player's neck. Amor should be careful. He doesn't have an EGP available due to his ban last year. I doubt the disciplinary committee will take a favourable view of any appeal.

I have no idea why Burns is up before the committee because on TV it was quite clear that he slipped and the Cas player wrong footed Burns. I assume it is Burns' reputation that is bringing him before the committee rather than any offence committed on the pitch. Saints should definitely appeal that one.

I pretty much agree with this. Amor should do a mea culpa, accept that it was a dangerous tackle, apologise for that, but plead no intent, merely clumsiness. Burns should have no case to answer - you see that sort of tackle in every game, and it's why penalties exist.

I've not seen any on the tv as not watched it back. From what I gather, the Burns one wasn't intentional but did make contact to the face. If he's caught him on the jaw then it's still a ban. The Ah Van tackle against Wigan was never intentional but was 100% red card and ban.
