But Liam Moore said,”direct and forceful contact to the head with no mitigation “ The RFL have set the standards and they’re just bloody minded enough carry it through. Think he’ll get a few games ban personally. The match revue commission will be pouring over the footage from this week’s games and dredging all sorts up.
The RFL Disciplinary have now backed themselves into a corner. In one hand they have to uphold their player safety stance, however there’s poor and inconsistent decisions that clubs can use in mitigation.
For instance, based upon the Ese Ese 2 match ban, Donaldson must get a two match ban. On the other hand, clubs will use the Harry Smith decision as a benchmark if there is the slightest case of a defender contributing to the incident.
I still think they’ll find Nu Brown SOS. I also think they’ll not ban Thewell and Hoy, as the VR failed to sin bin either, so quite a step up to ban them.
They might give their token weekly FC ban to our player (forgot who?) who made late contact on their player from behind after he’d passed the ball.
