Absolute joke. One rule for one.

Surprised the RFL hace done this. At the time I expected a 2/3 match ban and thought the 1 game was lucky.

I'm not complaining as we will need him against a very dominant Wigan side.

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

Didn't Goldy cop a ban last year for use of the forearm against the Cougars? Seem to remember no-one getting hurt either, how many matches was it?

2 I believe.

Disappointed, but i guess we can keep bringing Mr Carvell's name up the next time any of our lot are at red hall

Re: RFL - NO BALLS : Wed Feb 17, 2010 7:58 pm  

It really stinks. I couldn't be any more gobsmacked if Carvell had tackled me.

I'm struggling to come up with any explanation for the inconsistent way the game treats these incidents. Presumably Carvell has pulled at some loophole or other, but they need closing and fast before one of our stars ends up in a wheelchair for the rest of his days.

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!

Briers in the past was the club captain so technically had the right to talk to referees'

WTF "although the committee ruled the guilty verdict and £300 fine should stand"
Am i a total lover or ???????????? if your guilty and fined £300 how the love can you not get banned, goldy got two matches for something alot less. The RFL are a joke, an absolute joke. How can these muppets be allowed to continue

Bad decision by the RFL.

Re: RFL - NO BALLS : Wed Feb 17, 2010 9:24 pm  

Absolute joke. How can they say that the guilty verdict still stands, and lift the ban??? Smith does have friends in high places!!
