Has apparently been referred to a tribunal after receiving a grade F charge which carries a minimum eight game ban. Relates to an allegation of a racist remark directed at Mose Masoe in the Hull KR game.

Should have been dealt with before the Wakefield game...

will not matter to us if he leaves!!!!

Given he is rumoured to be going to HKR, that will make for a very positive dressing room vibe !

Even in Rugby League, you are innocent until proven guilty. Just a thought !

Yep innocent until proven guilty. I may be very naive but I dont believe this. Why would a player in a multi cultural squad who are as close as a band of brothers issue a racial remark, this would surely not happen. No one heard or saw it apart from the captain. The ref did not hear a thing and to his credit Mose Masoe has not said a word. James is rumoured to be going to HKR next season so this makes even less sense. I will stick by him being innocent until proven wrong.

I have my suspicions about this too. Tony Smiths anti London comments on us playing a "weakened" team in St Helens, also adds further intrigue. I smell a rat.

Yes thought that was ungentlemanly in the least. We can only play what is in front of us we do not chose the other team players. Poor taste. Its not so long ago this person was lauding Danny Ward and the team on SKY. Just shows his team is very unpopular in the league and
we have gained many neutral fans and he has turned into the green eyed monster. Jealousy is an ugly trait

Agreed it does seem odd. You might have thought if there really was anything, it would have been dealt with before the Wakie game. Can you imagine the uproar if we had won with James scoring the winning try? Lets hope it is just something & nothing.

Think you have got hold of the wrong end of the stick. Tony Smith was not having a go at your club. His ire was directed at Saints for fielding a badly weakened team twice against you. Saints lost three matches and ended up in top spot. Two of the defeats were against the bottom club. Selections like that skew the league table. In the past clubs were required to put out their best available players. This sadly does not now apply. Yes you can only play what is infant of you and credit to London for doing far better than anyone outside London expected. You cannot deny that you benefited from the actions of the Saints' coach. You may have beaten a nearly full strength Saints side once but to do it twice would stretch the imagination. Our game loses credibility if it continues to allow clubs to act in the way Saints did this season.

The reason for the delay was so the RFL could make a preliminary investigation to see if there was substance to the allegation and then decide how the matter should be dealt with. That is the usual procedure in such circumstance.
