I think we’ve now had 5 players suspended from 1 pre-season game and 4 SL games. Only 1 was sent off.
In the game v wire Holmes was sin binned then banned for 2. And on Friday Jowitt’s was not penalised and now banned for 2. So in 2 games with Kendall reffing he has sent 1 off, and sin binned 3, Dwyer, Holmes and Leeming v wakey, 2 more smith and Jowitt banned after the game.

I’m not knocking Kendall here but are the committee saying he should have sent 6 off in 2 games?

And to make this more bonkers the only player injured was Fusitu’a with knocked out by a shoulder to the head from Currie who was not Banned at all.

For mine this committee is making the game look daft and putting refs in an impossible position.

I totally agree that this committee are just totally inconsistent . How Fuzzy escapes with no ban for the hit on a player without the ball amazes me - we were told this was one of the main areas of foul play that needed to be addressed.
I am not a Cam Smith fan , but he is fast becoming another penalty machine - he has to stop this.

The disciplinary panel really has become a complete laughing stock.
Really nothing in the Leeming and Smith tackles and they both cop a ban. Yellow / warning should have been enough.
But Fusitua's was easily our worst of the game, blatant shoulder charge, and he gets nothing.
Totally baffling...

Completely agree with this

I agree

And the big thing is we actually have a young player who can hopefully execute (to a high level) the fundamental skills that sometimes let Leeming down and pretty much always overshadow the good work Dywer does. He needs to be given a proper go and not as a makeshift centre.

Mellor confirmed he’s fit to play after passing all concussion tests and returning to training today.

How’s Houghton not copped a ban after a yellow for a high shot?

Seems to be more banned from the televised games than the ones with a £50 camcorder on halfway.

I just hope Corey takes his chance Thurs and stays in the team.

No consistency at all in these sanctions.

I'd assume Dwyer starts Thursday and Johnson off the bench.

I’ll pray for the other way round!
