My favourite ban is still the Sine Die ban (indefinite), handed to Len Casey after getting sent off for fighting and then shoving the Touch Judge as he left the field v Hull, Good Friday 1984 (?). I think it got reduced to 12 matches on appeal.

Casey was stripped of the GB captaincy for the forthcoming Ashes tour following that. If memory serves that was the game he had a one on one dust up with Fred Ah Kuoi. Fred handled himself impressively in that encounter.

Fred was a very tough man.

It was the Good Friday Derby at the old Craven Park. Rovers (in the Century when they still won trophies) had just won the Title. Hull applauded them on to the field and proceeded to thrash them. Things boiled over on the pitch for the usual Good Friday Biff and Casey got his marching orders and then took exception to the Touch Judge chirping in his ear while he walked off.

During the game Fred Au Khoi also regathered his own kick for a length of the field try.

If you search online, you can usually find the RL Action highlights of this game.

I remember that game, didn't Casey stamp on Neil Puckering, which Fred took exception to and caught a good one on Casey who just lost it, got his marching orders then pushed the touch judge, who really laid it on thick and he was in serious trouble, being the GB skipper at the time. Hull played some great rugby, and Divorty really shone I remember, we ended up comfortable winners and the journey home was sweet.

Pryce banned for TEN games.

One of the things Lenny did in that particular game was drop his shorts and showed his booty to us Hull fans, it made me laugh.

When he played for Hull, I remember the story of how the rovers directors came to the Boulevard with a bag full of money, “ we’ve come for Casey” £6000 if memory is right.

10 matches for Pryce.

Whilst young Connor did resemble a helicopter, and I get it’s a dangerous tackle, but ten matches is far to harsh in my opinion, different story if it’s a malicious act of thuggery, but it seemed to me young Pryce offence was an act of sheer exuberance, in the moment, he got it wrong and undoubtedly he’ll learn from it. Red card fair enough, a couple of matches possibly.

.... he's been charged for similar before.
