3 match ban.

Is the 3 match ban after an early guilty plea (assuming TL has one)?

It's harsh when Toby King copped one at wembley, and I cannot recall that ending in a ban.
Who decides "reckless"?

No early guilty pleas any more, they got rid this season

Has anyone on here watched the incident again? If so does it fit the disciplinary pamels description?

So it turns out that you're really not allowed to tackle Manfredi.

You're not even allowed to touch someone who's feet are off the ground these days. We'll all be watching touch rugby soon.

Can you appeal? Or do they increase the length of the ban? Worth a try as he would likely not make the final anyway if he’s banned in the semi.

I just watched it back, reminds me of the Jackson Hastings tackle on Gaz O'Brien, only not as bad. How many games did he get? FFS

Re: Tom Lineham : Mon Sep 17, 2018 7:44 pm  

My reaction on first seeing it was that he was trying to punch the ball out, as the tackle count had just been wiped. Having seen it back on TV I'm convinced that was the case.

If it has been deemed to be a deliberate attack to the head then why was it not a straight red?

It does, but so do so many other incidents that don't cop a 3 game ban!
