This is true, as mentioned on another thread I was at Red Hall on Saturday and the place is full of Rhinos posters, window stickers, etc. Even the staff were wearing Rhinos shirts - why do you think they picked Leeds for their HQ?

... and how else have we won 3 titles on the bounce?

The RFL and The Rhinos are one and the same.

Aha ... I get it now .. RFL = Rhinos For Life

At the risk of over banging my drum ono this matter all this serves to show is that the RFL are doing a terrible job. Every club has fans who believe there is some kind of conspiracy. So and so did this and got away with it but when our player did it her got abnned/sent off/sin binned/put on report.

The real up-shot of all this is a lack of bottle and consistency. Everyone can cite incidents that one week warranted a red card but the next week didn't.

until the RFL get a grip these incidents will clite the game and its sad that such a great game as Sundays is overshadowed by some very poor ref's decisions, and subsequent action/non action by the RFL.

You went in on the wrong day. Normally they are wearing Tshirts with the name "Wakefield Franchise" in the middle of a big circle, with a big diagonal line through it. On the back of the Tshirt says the words "No Chance".

Do my eyes deceive me?

A Leeds fan accusing the RFL of having bias against them?

Are you serious?

Do you actually think that the ban on Budderus will be overturned?

As posted on another thread :
Yorkshire Evening Post: "The disciplinary panel is understood to have included former Wigan player and coach Colin Clarke, alongside another ex-Wigan team boss Alan McInnes."
!!!?????!!

I have had e-mail correspondence from Blake Solly from the RFL and has stated that the difference between Buderus and Prescott was that Buderus tackle there was was body weight placed on the player. The Buderus tackle was deeemed thet same as the Coley tackle in the CC which recieved a 1 match ban.

There was no action on Tomkins becasue it was a minimal kick and Senior had got away with a kick in the CC game.

A minimal kick!!!!!!!! Its a kick at the end of the day whether there was contact or not a full no blow and a tickle this should not be in our game and should of gone punished in my book.

Senior did it trying to get up from a tackle and the world wanted him hung get a grip before it turns into chav-ball.

What's the best email address for someone at RFL to express opinion/request clarification on these matters?

PM please if not willing to publicly display on the forum.

Thanks.

There is no place in the game for aiming a deliberate kick (no matter how feeble) even Phil Clarke recognised that at the game.

'Has to be a sin-bin at least' I think was his comment.

The 'at least' being the key component.

We've cheated. We are the Melbourne of British RL. Oh hang on a minute.....that would be.......

I thought each referal was dealt with on its own 'merit' for want of a better word. So why should Coley's or Senior's decisions have any bearing on the Buderus descision
.

I would have thought the same as yourself that each is dealt on their merits but the RFL response specifically states it

Thanks for your email Iain.



You may recall Keith Senior avoiding suspension after kicking Joel Tomkins in the Challenge Cup Quarter Final. The MRP believed that Joel Tomkins’ kick at Danny McGuire was of a lesser force and on that basis should be Cautioned rather than referred to the Tribunal.
