Yes Leon got 3 matches for the attack on Sam Burgess's nads. Why Flanagan might get 8+ for the same offence is anyone's guess. Both players had disciplinary records.

Leon grabbed Burgess’ testes in a challenge cup semi final at Huddersfield.

A longer ban would have ruled him out of the final.

Notice Chris Hill’s punishment this week?

And on BBC Claire Balding referred to it as ball tampering

The usual RFL bullpoop. Ban him but only up until the Final.

That’s my point

Ha ha should have been banned but he’s got a challenge cup final coming up.

The Gorgeous George fan club have gone very quiet on the Facebook pages. To my mind despite his much admired enthusiasm, he is a complete liability. I still haven't forgiven him for his premature try celebration at York at the start of last season, and was utterly disgusted by obscene gestures he was making towards the Workington bench in the play off game. This season we've had the sin binning for the trip which almost cost us the game, and now this balls up! Definitely time to get rid.

But he could gave been banned for 2 games and still been able to play at wembley. The fact he wasnt banned at all shows he wasnt guilty of anything other than maybe being a bit of a prick

Re: Disciplinary : Fri Aug 09, 2019 12:10 pm  

Well JK has named him for the game at Barrow. With the play-offs all but gone, I'm pretty speechless.

Re: Disciplinary : Fri Aug 09, 2019 1:57 pm  

I've backed him in the past and said he will help us more than he will hinder us, but sorry he needs to go after that act. No place in the game for out and out shithousery!!!

Kear is pretty much condoning his behaviour by selecting him and doesn't set a great example to the younger lads waiting to get game time.

Sorry George, thanks for everything but your taxi should be waiting at the gates for you.

Re: Disciplinary : Fri Aug 09, 2019 2:40 pm  

Perhaps JK is giving him one final run out for his home town club before he leaves/receives a ban?

His actions were disgraceful and he deserves a lengthy ban. I believe that every team needs a Flanagan to be a pain to the opposition but George has overstepped the line one too many times for my liking. He's been fantastic, but also a liability. I'd expect Sunday to be his final game for the club.
