It's a shame I can't add a picture I saw on Leeds Rhinos Suporters Group on FB. I know there's been some dodgy, some may say outrageous calls for us this year but that shot was high 100%. I love him as a player, he's been outstanding this year but he's dropped a fat one here and like other contributors have said there are things coming down the track legally which means the RFL are going to be hot on this. It's sad, it's bloomin annoying but I think it's probably the right call. I think an appeal would fail.

Dudson will serve a game in the preseason friendlies. Though maybe we could lodge a frivolous appeal on his behalf..

We are the experts.

wonder how many other teams have had an extra game imposed after appealing?

I cannot remember who but I seem to recall one player from another club getting a ‘frivolous extension’ but think all other appeals have either ended with the original ban standing or getting a lesser grading and ban being reduced…which in my view is how it should be….you either win or lose the appeal, this frivolous argument is BS

Quite agree, certainly the use of the word frivolous is banal in the extreme. More like failed appeal would be more appropriate.
