Who'd have thought we'd get 20 pages on Carl Ablett?

Not when you click on the 'Home Tab' for the table you are probably looking at.

What facts? The facts that your acting coach seems to agree entirely with IA's summation of the tackle? Those facts?

KAPOW!!!

Give Bill Barlow some time to respond. His carer won't let him on the net whilst she is giving him a sponge bath.

Well its ok then, on Waneys word im sure the disciplinary committee will give Abblet his 300 quid back and as compensation we wont play Tomkins for 3 games for headbutting Abblets elbow

Id go as far to say Waneys got it wrong and if Tomkins would of suffered a broken jaw and his season was ended would he pass it off as just abit 'clumbsy' The fact is upto now is hes been handed a 3 match ban and on appeal might get it reduced to 2 games which shows the RFL up as the joke it is when almost every ban gets reduced on appeal.

Obviously, 'cos you know more than Mr Wane himself.

In terms of the incident I think he knows just about the same amount as Wane, it didn't happen to either and they both had the same footage to observe - whether his opinion about it counts the same is a completely different question...

On the incident itself, he was certainly clumsy rather than deliberate but it was a shocker regardless, 3 matches was fair & to me it seems a bit odd to appeal based on the fact the RFL are not going to quash it so he isn't going to be able to play at weekend, you don't need him to finish 4th anyway and if the RFL look at it as a frivolous appeal and add a game he'd miss the cup final should Leeds get there.

However the RFL past record suggest 2 games will be the outcome

You do realise that in 2003 the Rhinos got to the challenge cup final and finished 2nd in the table? then to follow this up they wiped the floor with everyone in the league in 2004 and won the championship?

Far from the demise of Leeds United, it was the start of something big for Leeds Rhinos.

Fair Enough but I feel the appeal might be based on a lack of mitigation based on an exemplary previous record.

Leeds United fans support a wide range of rugby league clubs.

I’m sure we have Castleford Tigers and Hull FC fans on this very board who support Leeds United as well. I think that the theory above is far fetched and a discredit to the good work that the whole club put into the 2004 season. You seem to be conveniently forgetting how many Rhinos shirts are seen at Old Trafford year after year.

Certainly more worn on that day than on a weekly basis during the season.

3 game ban stands. No more, no less.
