Hmm - first Saints-Leeds, now this. Coincidence that both games were under Bentham's "control"?

Who's the poor sods this weekend?

Was it because LMS was actually sent off within the game?

Either way, there isn't much between the two.

There is, 3 matches

missing the point a little. I have no issue with the ban dished out to LMS last year (good job the bookies didn't notice it...made a mini-killing by backing Castleford the following week), but a little consistancy would be nice.

Didn't mean it quite like that.

The RFL review panel have always been about as consistent as Warrington. The new system they brought into place was supposed to change that, but the RFL even screwed that up by giving them option to say no, or call it between x match band and more x match ban. It'll never change, or at least I can't see it changing, my point was simply just to let them fight and let us enjoy a bit of biff.

For mine, we need a solid system, none of this maybe crap. 6 Grades of offences, each carry one possible outcome if found guilty.

Grade F - 1 match ban
Grade E - 2 match ban
Grade D - 3 match ban
Grade C - 4 match ban
Grade B - 5 match ban
Grade A - 6+ match ban (for anything big, like striking a referee, only then can the RFL choose a different outcome, but a minimum of 6 games)
