MRP still sat on the Monday. And McDonnell appeal was heard the next day.

No doubt the panel were attracted by treble time for the sitting.

Excuse my ignorance, but does this mean he is already guilty and the tribunal are going to meet to set his sentence, or is this where he can put forward his defence and try to plead his innocence?

Thus is what he's being charged with and he can argue his case.

Ok. Will be interesting to see how it pans out. From rumours on here, it appears to be Leigh providing all the evidence, and while that might be enough for a RL tribunal to go along with, I'd be interested to know if that could stand up in an actual civil court, if McGuire were to be certain of his innocence and felt he needed to clear his reputation from what would be a huge stain on his character, not just within sporting circles?

He was refused the right to appeal at his previous tribunal, don`t remember that happening before to another player?

If McGuire was to use a Civil Court to clear his name, then the RFL, may regret that decision.

If McGuire has done what he is accused of, and the evidence is there, he should be out of the club. And frankly Powell probably should too: if he and his team couldn't communicate to McGuire what was expected during the previous two months he was sat on the sidelines, you have to question his competence as a coach and a leader.

Just been reading the minutes of the panel for magic Weekend. What a load of rubbish. When you look at the decisions and bans that have been dished out in the past this looks more like a cash raising event. 2 matches for punching and 1 match for a classic hip drop which injured Pitts, your having a laugh. Still £2,750 for an after meeting p**s up.

I'm sorry, but that's complete rot - Coaches being sacked because of the individual actions of their players?... Seriously?

Fights break out on the pitch regularly, so should a manager be sacked for failing to control their players?

Look, I know some of you are desperate to see the back of Powell, but have a little bit of common sense to your reasoning?...
