We always seem to get a player picked out for an offence that nobody can really recall, or that was anything out of the ordinary, just before we are about to play Wakey. Last time it was McG and it has happened before, it makes you wonder.
It really was an innoccuous offence and we really should appeal, although we never do so. Maybe that's because we realise we are the wrong club to appeal, but really there is no way they can increase the penalty without making themselves look a laughing stock. Leeds have appealed several times for instance and had the penalty either quashed or reduced. But then again that's Leeds.
It was totally mild in comparison with what others have, and are getting away with. The disciplinary committee is the biggest joke in RL and I would love there to be an avenue where they had to publically give their reasons for suspending certain 'offences' whilst letting much worse get away scot free.
It is obvious they pretty much like to make an example of certain clubs, which is why I suppose, unlike Leeds we never appeal, as we realise the futility of doing so.
