What is the ultimate goal of the RFL? They seem to see clubs as their bitter enemies that need to be punished. The game of Rugby League is dying due to an outright attack by the RFL and it's disciplinary commitee against clubs, players and fans.

I'm actually fearing the worst this next 2 weeks. I promise you this. Bradford will run us close, maybe sneak it and Batley will beat us because of the very real shadow of the Premier Sports cameras that may as well be painted yellow and flash on a strong collision. It's inevitable Fax won't be able to play their game through fear of a fine and ban in the post for any possible incursion

I think that sounds a bit dramatic. All players from all teams are aware of what the RFL disciplinary are like. Especially the teams from the championship and championship 1. They (and we) all know that their punishment for an infringement, whether seen by the officials during the game or not, will get the full the punishment for that grade while SL players won’t. At one time a red card meant you were looking at a ban. Now you you get a ban for a yellow card or even just a penalty. The RFL should do away with penalties during a game and let the match review panel watch the game after and just ban who they fancying banning whether the offence deserves it or not.

Matt Garside the latest to get a 1 game ban for a late hit and will miss the Batley game.

There needs to be urgent change at the top.
The RFL needs professional people fast.

If Rimmer stood down tomorrow, then his replacement is here

They'd have Andy Farrell's request to join the board in the bin in a flash

Given the recent run of decisions that’s a relief, how the referee has interpreted those events live when it happened right in front of him is crazy .
