I think this decision by the RFL, is yet another example of the bitter anti Diskin prejudice that infests our great game........

I'm with you all the way Billy.

It's appalling.

The alternative is very simple get a group of non club affliated members - how can you have 2 Wigan bods sitting on a panel together when it is known that Wigan will be playing an important game that weekend. It is no wonder the kick by Tomkins nor the spear on Eastwood, nor Tucson's attack on Clarkson were sent if two of the three people making the decision have Wigan affliations - it is a joke

It certainly is.

The panel only adjudicate on those charged and sent to the disciplinary on a Tuesday evening. They have absolutely no input on who goes before them. If you're going to have a whinge about conspiracy theories at least have it based on something close to reality.

maybe we need to adopt part of the australian points system for bans, it seems silly that tomkins could kick someone after a tackle 2 weeks running and not get more than a fine as it gives the impression its acceptable to do it every game
imho punching someone who doesnt throw a punch back should be an automatic ban without the right of appeal

even on commantry about buderuses tackle it said that it was made to look worse by kylie falling off so why cant these ex players/officials see the same asthe sky team?

its both annoying and fustrating to all fans to see such wide ranging differences of opinion and therefore the type of punishment dished out
the manu tackle on cockayne at the weekend which ended up being a no charge looked very similar to mathers challenge on king a couple of seasons back that got him a red and a couple of games ban

Just a quick question, will your game definitely be on the Saturday even though Leeds United are at home on the same day aswell?

When did we start to ground share?

Who mentioned ground sharing? The question was more to do with the police and whether they would be able to provide the required police presence for both games.

I suspect ours are less overworked than yours.

We could be ground sharing for the first few months of the 2012 season however!

The only time there is a notable polic presence is when FC come to town. Other than that there a few beat bobbies. Max.

So it doesn't say anywhere that the match review panel does not have the same people as the disciplinary panel? or have I missed something there?
