Quote: gizempo "It feels like the have tried to save face on this one. Do they post any detail about the reason for their grading and punishment, or some summary of the basis of the appeal and why it was rejected. At the moment there is no transparency or clarity over the variance in the grading and punishments - in fact from an outsiders views it seems you get a lower grading for trying to move a player who was flat out and potentially more seriously injured, than a player who is clearly able to move and appears to be at far less risk of any injury due to a tug of his shirt.'"
Interestingly a lot of the disciplinary processes are discussed on a programme called sin bin and have had Paul Cullen and other members of the panel explaining the process, unfortunately the program hasn’t aired since early June . I have emailed the rfl regarding this , I have had replies on other subjects but I’m still awaiting a response on this .
