serious question,if a player has a suspencion ,and his team play that week,if the game gets abandoned through bad weather or something like that,does that count as the players suspencion, or does he have to wait until the next game his team play to sit it out again?

you mean abandoned after the gane starts rather than postponed, say after 20 minutes. Its an interesting one, i would have thought it would count, because the game has started, yet the result would probably not count, meaning it would have to be rearranged. another interesting question would be what happens to a player dismissed in such a game?

had a look at the rules, its a grey area is abandoning a game - in some the result can stand, in others it must be rearranged. the outcome seems to be at the discretion of the match committee - the RFL seem to love these ambiguous situations. on discipline and suspensions i didn't notice anything relating to abandoned games.

interestingly i found out a club can make an official complaint about the result of a game - not sure whether this has ever been tried and upheld at pro level, and what would happen if so
