Be interesting to know what %age of fans and players - of all clubs - feel that this level of sanction for that level of offending is remotely appropriate. I suspect it would be tiny.

Regardless of the length of the ban and the justness of it, the bottom line is that our combined total of bans currently stands at what 33/34? That equates to losing more than one squad member for the entire season through indiscipline. We're not even halfway through yet! Regardless of all the other problems Rohan Smith has inherited, this has to be number one.

Ten matches is ridiculous (puts paid to the 'RFL faves' tag you and us seem to share the rest of the RFL fraternity gives us), even as Bradford players were trying to pull him out the Newcastle players were coming in waves for him and then they rabbit punch him?

His first shot was a peach though...

If there was a squirrel grip , surely that should have the effect of reducing this to a couple of games. If anyone had done a squirrel grip on Cullen back in the day he would still be punching him now. Talk about a poacher turned gamekeeper.

10 games is ridiculous, I can see that decreasing to more like 5 on appeal. When was the last time a player got a 10+ game ban so we can compare the severity of the incidents?

Confirmed that leeds won't be appealing.

Clearly the club have realised that our card is marked and little point appealing. 10 is excessive for the incident, but the RFL obviously think Leeds are a club with a bad discipline culture.

And judging by how often we're in front of the panel, they're right

10 games is a fecking joke.
He has been attacked and defended himself, he then gets a couple more coming at him and he defends himself.
We might as well be playing touch and pass as the game has gone totally soft.
I cannot understand why we have not appealed against the severity of the ban.
Has he been banned several times before or am I missing something?

I can’t even be bothered with the bans anymore across the sport. Ruining the game and I’m losing interest…..

You've claimed for months/years to be losing interest but still keep coming back. Constantly crying wolf isn't a great look.
