I honestly thought the disciplinary were improving this season and seemed to be getting a little more consistency.

What was the difference between O'Donnells challenge on Saturday night and the one Cross got banned for?

O'Donnell has received a caution only.

I'm going purely from memory of both incidents but I think it was the positioning of the defender's arms.

There was more than a hint of a forearm in Cross's contact whereas O'Donell's was more with an open palm, a push if you like. O'Donnell was equally as late but not as bad, IMO.

....................and if anyone knows about late/clumsy/reckless challenges it's you mate!

G1 has a point Gotcha but just to add NEVER expect any kind of consistency from the disciplinary and the confusion just goes away.

I think O'Donnell is an early contender for man of steel, the bloke is a beast! He must have put in about 10 dominant, big hits on saturday night.

I'd put M.Monahagn on that list aswell.

Rfl are just a joke for consistency
I know I'll get no symathy for the tomkins brothers but why did ben Westwood not get a ban for striking on fri and some else ran in swinging

Have a look at your own avatar if you want examples of the RFL disciplinary being a "joke for consistency"...

Come on that started at the chest Sam burgess does 3 big hits like that a game

yes but sam hits the player with the ball

Fair comment can't really remember incident but just a good pic

the ball was at least 5m away in another players hands. it was a disgracful challange

Like I said just a good pic fir my profile
lockers is a honest enough player though may have been a late challenge but don't do that regular IMO

shocking late tackle, our coach was fuming over this, anyway we got our own back later on at the dw stadium

on the o'donnell situ, didnt see cross challenge... thats the giants first caution of any sort this season...so much for a dirty team eh

and o'donnell is showing his quality now

I I said to the ref "I got htere as soon as I could".
