But on the bright side, looks like a few of these guys could be fit for the Bradford games

Why do you get a caution for something that is accidental!

He meant it-punish
He didn't-let off

Third category RFL- Accident-caution

What does the caution say -dont have accidents

An accident is a specific, identifiable, unexpected, unusual and unintended external action which occurs in a particular time and place, without apparent or deliberate cause but with marked effects. ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accident

an unfortunate mishap; especially one causing damage or injury
anything that happens suddenly or by chance without an apparent cause; "winning the lottery was a happy accident"; "the pregnancy was a stroke of bad luck"; "it was due to an accident or fortuity"

stunned....but not shocked. One rule for some teams and the book thrown at others.

Oh c'mon. Sour grapes and silliness. Howell led with the elbow: it was as plain as day. Cunningham hit out and unintentionally hit Stosic's eye. He was simply given the benefit of the doubt. In fact, like Howell, who would likely have got a longer ban had he not had a clean record (as has Cunningham). Kieron has been given a formal caution, which means he has a black mark on his record for a few months so has to be squeaky clean or it's the naughty step for him. We have had one player banned this season, you know. Fas. For a chicken wing tackle. So you see, we don't have the RFL in our pockets after all.
