As soon as I read the words Neil Hudgell I stopped reading

Almost 50 signatures already, sky's shares must be tumbling as the boycott looms

Maybe if the fans of the club had a go at the players of there teams who misbehave on the pitch they wouldn't look as daft

@Clearwing. I said it would have consequences for Super League, not Sky Sports.

This is a troll. Right?

You are just collecting meltdown material, right?

Wrong. I aren't a troll.

.

So I should ditch Sky Sports just because Justin Poore got banned for 3 games, hmmm I'll have to think about that one.

Which fans, potential or current, are being driven away by the disciplinary?

Whilst it's not great and could do with being more consistent, any fan that gets that worked up about the disciplinary needs to grow up.

There's plenty of far, far greater reasons why more people don't participate in or watch rugby league. The disciplinary is miles away from being even a minor reason.

Ditch Sky Sports because Justin Poore got banned for 3 games, where did you get this from. I'm guessing that the majority of the people on this forum have watched Rugby League for a long time. In that case you'd know that all these decisions, say Greg Eden vs FC magic weekend, Wigan vs Hull KR Charnley try when the video ref saw he was clearly in touch), have built up over time. They are against my team, I'm sure there is many others against all the over teams.
This isn't about bias, it is about the main thing that the RFL stands for. Reliability and Consistency. This isn't happening.
Fair play about the record revenue from the Rugby World Cup, but this aspect of the RFL needs dramatically improving, as laughable decisions like these above shouldn't be happening.

I haven't seen either tackle (but perhaps this makes me more objective and is not a bad thing...) However, in the petition rationale it says;

"To prove his point, the Hull KR chairman compared the dangerous throw by three Widnes players on Richard Whiting, and the less dangerous throw by Justin Poore. The three Widnes players were let off with a caution, as the disciplinary committee couldn't determine a culprit, however Justin was banned for three games."

Doesn't this contradict the motion argued? I mean, you are saying 'the three Widnes players were let off with a caution as the disciplinary committee couldn't determine a culprit'. I'm guessing that Poore was the only one involved in his throw - presumably if he was one of three, they'd have done nothing for similar reasons as outlines with Widnes in your arguement.

It is easier to punish one player responsible for a less dangerous event than to determine which one(s) of three are responsible for a more dangerous tackle, if they all did so at the same time.

If Poore was 'one of three' and has been made to take the flak for all of them it is different, but the way the motion is worded suggests he was alone in commiting the offence for which he is charged. If i am wrong, i apologise.

As it stands though (as worded by you / the person filing the motion) it sounds like they have actually shown consistency...

You probably should have had a look at the two tackles before you typed all this. Might have saved some time and quite a lot of speculation.
