do you mean the minimal and incidental touch on the end of Mellors nose on Martins arm brushing past to make the tackle that broke mellors nose?

Where’s it been stated that Mellor broke his nose?

I've not seen anywhere that it broke? Ask Mellor, he himself Said it wasn't a penalty let alone a ban.

Edit, seen he did break his nose. Still doesn't mean its a ban its pretty easily done with minimal contact like occurred.

That really says it all doesn't it.

Back on the game, I wonder whether Newman is genuinely back in contention, whether Leeds are taking a big risk, or if this is just mind-games...

Or the fact Mellor has stated it wasn`t even a penalty similar to the refs view on the day?
Never a penalty no intent no knocking back of the head move on.
But the idiots on the panel thought Martin should be banned and to make it even more cringeworthy they increased the ban due to Leeds pointing out their error.
Pompous, arrogant or completely clueless I`m not really sure.

Does it state who was on the panel and who was on the panel that felt it was a frivolous appeal?

Last paragraph addresses the ‘frivolous’ nature of the appeal

Essentially, any high shot is a Grade A minimum even if minor and accidental and despite Martin clearly just attempting to wrap the ball up. It was not a swinging arm with a closed fist.

Don't argue the ban or provide footage of similar incidents as it will be ignored, albeit they may show their own footage which they will consider.

Sam Kasiano struck it lucky then. Perhaps the panel used their wisdom and determined that the thing attached to the top of Brad Dwyer's neck is not his head.

It's just mind boggling that Martins is a two game ban and Kasiano is 0

According to Wilkin and Tomkins of all people on sky sports news it deserved a ban and was a frivolous appeal. If by some miracle we win on Friday I would be doing thr bare contractual minimum with sky they can stick the rest.

i'll be honest I don't think we have any real chance on Friday now so just hope we take a few of them down with us. Especially Kasiano who shouldn't even be playing.

I'm not optimistic about us being able to get out of our half with great success and consistently enough on the back of carries from Briscoe and tindal. It could be a long old night if the passes don't hit the mark and there's a lack of bodies moving around the ball like last weekend when we were too passive.
