Mason got a £300 fine and no ban I think. Seeing the incident on the SL Show on iPlayer last night it was far far worse than LMS and was worthy of at a least five game ban.
Defo a case of one rule for US and another for every other team. Mason was like an animal.
Shame on the RL.
Not seen the LMS incident - just read the RFL disciplinary report.
The RFL clearly accepted the fact that O'Loughlin was restraining Griff while hansen (and Leulei) thumped him with Riddell in attendance. Mason could have strolled over and politely requested that hansen desist. Instead he ran over and knocked Hansen out of the way - good. A 5 match ban would be ridiculous.
I thought the defence of LMS by Brian Mac "it was my motivational speech wot done it" was priceless.
