Hahah whys it been overturned? Personally I don't care as it doesn't affect us. RFL are morons though.

Why do the RFL bother even holding a hearing? To be honest all its done is waste the time of both players (not that they'll get any sympathy from me) It's about we adopted the Aussie system and stopped leaving it to a panel of past it refs and officials who haven't played or officiated a game for years who sit and play god for an hour or so each week. They sit and view videos haul players in listen to arguments then they sometimes get a bit of back bone and impose a ban, then the next day panic and go back on their decisions. What a load of tripe.

That's disgusting!
What does it take for a player to get a ban?

Oh I know, a disagreement with the ref! (I'm not condoning players having a go at ref's although Briers does seem to get away with it every single game he plays)

I remember the decision that I think cost us our superleague place, when Danny Brough got sent off and suspended for 3 games for a few expletives, whereas if he had attempted to knock someone's head off he would have presumably got away scot-free, had the same panel been sitting!

Actually on the bright side, both he and Morley can contribute to beating the Goons! Every cloud and all that!

No justice really, but it would be good if they can overturn the pies!

Re: RFL - NO BALLS : Wed Feb 17, 2010 6:03 pm  

Justice doesn't benefit us though does it? Even so, total nonsense.

Re: RFL - NO BALLS : Wed Feb 17, 2010 6:08 pm  

Justice should have been a Red Card but they are like rocking horse poo in the game these days!

You can't help but laugh, I guess it's one to remember when a Cas player gets 3 matches for the same offence.
