The basis of the appeal is that his arm was within the normal range of movement and therefore it couldn’t possibly have caused an unacceptable risk of injury. Which is probably true to be fair

What an absolute joke. Might as well just keep appealing ad infinitum.

How can u appeal an appeal failure. This just makes a mockery of the RFL and every other ban this season.

Didn’t Leeds appeal Newmans appeal?

For what it’s worth, Saints have by far and away been the best team in recent times. That’s not the axe I want to grind here.

My issue is a second (assumed different) tribunal, have said that the first tribunal was not just slightly wrong, but completely wrong and that there was ‘no unacceptable risk of injury’

If that’s not proof that the panel isn’t fit for purpose and at the very least there is some pot luck based on who is sitting on it for you that week I don’t know what is.

How can a supposedly joined up body come to two completely different Verdicts literally days apart. And more so, who knew you could appeal an appeal. Leeds did this for Martin but I’m sure that was appealing the frivolous part.

This has to be the biggest load of corruption the game has ever served up. I’m literally lost for words.

Leeds appealed the frivolous extra match I believe.

The main issue for me here is that two tribunals, who I assume are part of the same body, have come up with astonishingly different verdicts literally days apart.

I really hope that’s the case Seth. An us against the World mentality.
