So far this season we have had bans for squirrel grabs (Tommy Makinson(6 games) & Tom Lineham(8 games)) & now this from Joel Tomkins. Just another example of the image problem the sport as.
Tomkins deserves at least a 8 game ban taking into account his previous record.
Personally think all 3 should be 20 games bans.

Tomkins and McIlorum both charged with grade F Other Contrary Behaviour

Has anyone checked Mylers undies for evidence?

No but Joel Tompkins sniffed the evidence on his finger before wiping it off

So what's that about 8 games each. Good, couldn't happen to a nice pair.

Tomkins being accused of 'manhandling'. That's excellent.

What was Hicks' excuse for missing these incidents that are going to result in bans of 8 games+ apiece?

More to the point what’s the punishment for Hicks. The referees in the game are a shambles

Playing Devil’s advocate here: Dwyer was falling down/forward when McIlorum made contact. Those are difficult ones.

Myler was asked by the referee if he’d like to make an allegation. If the ref didn’t see it then it’s one of those.

These are big games and the refs allow more to go with benefit of the doubt than in a normal league fixture.

Not saying the ref got it right but it’s easy to watch the slow mo video and make a judgement.

It’s fair that both players probably miss the next couple of games and that might well cost them the chance at the GF this year. Both grubby players.

Mcillorums was about him picking up an injured player by the scruff, he’s got 1 game as well for the tackle.

Unless you’re a video ref?
