Whilst I agree it's not intentional, which is presumably what we are appealing, the fact that Thaler didn't see it doesn't mean there is no case to answer.

Downgraded to 1 game

Well whatever we appealed on it worked, downgraded to s one match ban

Seems more sensible. But things like that should just be penalty 10 minutes. On the same grounds as someone said earlier the Salford player pulling newman back if the ball which was deliberate should be a 1 game or at least a caution.

2. David Fusitua - 2 matches - due back v Huddersfield Giants 25/08
7. Aidan Sezer - 1 match - due back v Warrington Wolves 19/08
10. Matt Prior - 2 matches - due back v Warrington Wolves 19/08
12. Rhyse Martin - 1 match - due back v Warrington Wolves 19/08
18. Tom Holroyd - 10 matches - due back v Warrington Wolves 19/08

Injuries

9. Kruise Leeming - Foot
20. Tom Briscoe - Ankle?
28. Max Simpson - Ankle?

I actually think the RFL should be looking at serious foul play after the game.
If the ref has missed a pull back on Newman or the trip by Sezer then so be it.
It`s the sly off the ball incidents or attack to the head that should be looked at and players rightly banned if found guilty imo.

The whole concept of the officiating, disciplinary and judiciary should be joined up and transparent. They’re none of this. It needs a complete overhaul.

Just catching up, in the build up to Newmans try, after fusitua passes the ball, isn't that a blatant shoulder charge on him?!

You know that's not how the MRP and Judiciary works, you can only be banned if you wear Blue and Amber...

To me that looks worse from Sarginson than what Fusitua does as Lafai is going down when contact is made. If they only have the footage we see as fans it’s a pretty tough ask to assess both incidents.

From what i've seen of the Martin incident, the ban looks ridiculous.

If that's what the bans for then it's a disgrace. The MRP have genuinely lost the plot.

I honestly think the club should consider legal action against the RFL for the MRP. If a player’s salary were divided over a season worth of games, Leeds would literally be down tens of thousands from the MRP alone.

The problem is that the policy for a ban is any incident they happen to notice, not clear and obvious evidence of serious foul play. It makes me detest the way the sport is run, and feel nothing but anger towards the RFL, because ultimately it’s us as fans who it really effects.

They desperately need to sack Paul Cullen if he’s the driver in all this nonsense.

Couldn't agree more.

I've never been so pessimistic about how effectively the sport's being run. The sport's profile is poor, the international game is poor and now the disciplinary side of the game is deteriorating.

Doesn't help having Paul Cullen as Chair of the MRP, someone who doesn't like Leeds and I for one couldn't trust to be impartial.

And then the whole organisation being run by Ralph Rimmer.

Dark days indeed.
