Bans - HOCK 2 GAMES, TUSON 1 GAME : Sun May 27, 2012 10:06 pm  

Think Gaz will get plenty. A fight on such a big event from the RFL with his track record is only going one way. Doubt we'll see him for 5/6
Tuson can take the early guilty plea I'd imagine and will take 2/3 I imagine
Think Mossop will be cited, 1/2
Macca should be fine.

Don't actually think it should be as extreme as that. It was a bit of a ruck. 2 for Gaz, 1 for Tuson job done imo.

Ah well, it is the RFL...

Mc Banana wants Hock for the exiles 1 match ban .

Re: Potential Bans? : Sun May 27, 2012 10:10 pm  

Hock 2 matches
Tuson SOS
Mossop, potential 1-2

Saints
LMS 2 games
MaGennis 4-6 (should throw the book at this coward)

The exciles game could save Hock a longer ban.

He'll get 2, Tuson 2-3 and Mossop a match.

Tough game at Leeds now.

Re: Potential Bans? : Sun May 27, 2012 10:12 pm  

5 or 6 matches for that would just be ridiculous! One match for most players, two matches for Hock because of his past record. It was hardly worth a lengthy ban.

Tuson has a reasonably good disciplinary record. He copped a cheap shot and retaliated. I remember something similar happening to Joel Tomkins against Hull where Yeaman started hitting him so Joel retaliated with several punches. Tomkins escaped a ban for that so Tuson should escape a ban this time. Possibly one match but anything more is ridiculous.

Has Mossop ever been banned for anything? If not then a ban would be harsh for what was a first offence in the heat of the moment. He should be knighted if anything for laying out Magennis.

If there was actually some consistency in the way the RFL Disciplinary procedure worked then we would easily be able to guess who would get banned for how many. I literally dont have the foggiest idea what is going to happen

Re: Potential Bans? : Sun May 27, 2012 10:13 pm  

If Hock gets banned then the RFL seriously need shooting. He did nothing at all that doesnt happen every week in a Rugby League game. The most that players get is 10 mins in the sin bin for stuff like that.

Re: Potential Bans? : Sun May 27, 2012 10:13 pm  

How does the early guilty plea work again? Sure it was Tuson that got pinged for a grapple or something considered dangerous against Saints at Widnes last year. Does that mean he's no grounds for an early plea?

Hock will doubtless have the book thrown at him based on his past record, though any more than two games, given that he was sent off as well, would seem harsh. It wasn't THAT bad... was it?

Re: Potential Bans? : Sun May 27, 2012 10:14 pm  

We're playing Leeds next week, right? We should probably plan to play that game without a whole host of players based on Red Hall's previous record.

Hock, O'Loughlin, Mossop and Tuson for the fighting. McIlorum for the head high shots. I'm sure they'll make up some other charges too.

They will probably ban sam for giving that joining jack gesture when he scored.
