Players suspended, or are they? : Mon Aug 24, 2020 11:09 am

Another nonsensical decision by the RL authorities. Hastings should miss the next two games otherwise there was no point in naming him in the first place.

Even by RL standards this is rubbish.

Funny how James Gavet missed a game for us and two weeks training too.. but Hastings played and trained.

It’s like Makinson one of ours or yours and it would be 8 games banned not a diluted excuse plus good conduct and down to 5 games...

The RFL really does favour Saints and Wiggin

Variations on a theme....

St Helens' Kevin Naiqama successfully challenged yesterday's Match Review Panel decision to suspend him for two matches.
The Fijian centre had been adjudged guilty of a Grade C high tackle on Hull Kingston Rovers' Kane Linnett during the closing stages of Friday's Betfred Super League fixture. Naiqama accepted the original high tackle verdict, but challenged the panel's grading.
The tribunal downgraded the tackle to Grade A and, whilst Naiqama has been fined £500, there will be no suspension.

And Tom Lineham's in a bit of bother...

TOM Lineham will miss the majority of the season after being found guilty of a "squirrel grip" on Castleford's Alex Foster.
The Wire winger will serve an eight-game suspension and has also been fined £500.

There's no variation at all you clearly have not understood the wording.
He accepted liability for the tackle but disputes the grading. His challenge has been successful and whilst still guilty of the offence the RFL have deemed a fine a sufficient resolution.
An option open to all players at all clubs.

I think they should televise these disciplinary meeting live, for the life of me I don’t see how they reach these conclusions, perhaps watching these dignitaries show how they reach these decisions, would make it easier to understand.

Remember the big bad shove in the Derby, on a relaxed player. Shock, horror. suspension.

A few games back, Sezer, I think shoved Dwyer, no action taken, there are far to many inconsistencies.

Are Liam Watts crown jewels any less valuable than the pair Tom Lineham err, fondled, no say I, it’s a load of balls.
