ahhh yes, the old 'his perfect disciplinary record goes against him'?

It'll have been deemed late. Which in fairness it is, albeit marginally.

except its not a late hit, its been deemed a grade C high tackle by the rfl, so whats the excuse now?

You would think the RFL would be trying to attract crowds, not ban players for trivial accidents in a contact sport!

In that case I'm baffled.

The Korbin Sims 2 match ban for us is even more laughable than the Fusitua talk . What this sport is turning into is unrecognizable from when I first watched it. As if injuries arent a problem in itself these days they pile on ludicrous bans on top. The paying speccy barely sees two full strength teams go head to head nowadays

I could cope with the heavy handed bans if they increased the cap so at least you could have more squad cover but the lack of consistency is so bad.
Some get 2-3 Game bans,some just dont even qualify for a penalty.

Given the squeeze on incomes and the competition for leisure £££, you'd expect the RFL to be doing everything it can to maximise the attractiveness of its product. Instead, through the MRP, it is doing the exact opposite. Folk will vote with their wallets and RL will be the loser.

tbf they're consistent in banning as many Leeds players as possible each week

I'd like to see them focus on "deliberate foul play." I know you can never say for sure if a player did something deliberately, but you can make an educated judgement. We're seeing players suspended for getting high speed collisions slightly wrong. Seems a ridiculous way to carry on. I'd love to see them survey season ticket holders at all clubs. They are the people who fund the clubs, at the most basic level, and their opinion should be heard.

It's damaging the product at a time when RL needs to be both holding on to its core support and attracting new fans. The current set up is doing neither.
I agree about a survey. I think we already know the results, which is why it'll never happen.

Agree AC.
As usual the RFL have taken everything literally and once again are behind the NRL in handing out bans for accidental offences.
Again I`m sure other players have been given 1 match bans for tripping yet the default if you play for Leeds is 2 games (Prior and Sezer)
