Any sort of common sense and he wouldn't of had any charge to answer. The fact he still has a grade A is farcical,should be no charge and a written apology for being stupid from the RFL.

Agree. Players from all teams are at it. While ever there's a glimmer that the referee might actually give something, though, it'll continue. Agree with previous comments that a penalty against would bring it to a halt almost immediately.

it didn't when ganson penalised Rob burrow for it way back when.
then ignored it for the rest of the game...

Consistency during a game from the same ref is certainly an issue, never mind between different referees.

The head contact rule is so inconsistently reffed it drives me crazy.

I now genuinely don't know what constitutes a penalty, never mind yellow/red.
