No. Wait....



OK, I think I'm OK now, I'll just, no...



Ah.

No that's true but you can seemingly misrepresent my frequent posts on disciplinary matters.



I call decisions as I see them. The colour of the shirt plays no part in that process .... should it?

The offence committed probably deserved a ban. One retaliatory punch and no more (ala Wood at Wembley) and perhaps he'd have escaped punishment given it was an out of character reaction. He threw more than one though and that changes the situation, IMO.

I have a lot of time and respect for Leuluai and the honesty he brings to the game. I'm disappointed for him that he has received this punishment.

If you throw a punch in the street what happens?

You get punished

Depends. Is anyone stood near me at the time?

I'd more likely just get laughed at.

My mate threw a punch in the street at one of those arcade machines with the punch bags once. He got punished. With abroken wrist and several months of ridicule.

Are you sure it was your "mate" and not you

Not if you throw it in self defence.

If you perform a textbook cover tackle on the street you've committed an assault so it's a terrible analogy.

Didn't you intimate the colour of the shirt plays a large part recently when decrying the pink one?

The collective performances/results in that shirt are often a crime against RL but unfortunately that falls outside the jurisdiction of the RFL's disciplinary panel and the designer responsible will ultimately have to answer to a higher authority.

The pink shirt got off on a technicality

Bloody lawyers.

W, W, L, W, W, L, L, W, L, W

6 Wins - Blue Kit
4 Losses - Pink Kit

Worryingly the second of those four losses was on Leeds' last visit to Les Catalans.

The choice of kit (whose decision is it anyway) could prove more decisive than any player suspension or injury absence or even choice of referee.
