Does this mean that Hargreaves gets off his automatic ban?

He should contact tvoc. He'll get him off with the old 100% committed ploy.

Should get 5 games imo awful tackle.

It will be interesting to see as it was certainly worse looking than Bailey's 'Assault' on Silverwood for which he was 'rested' for 3 games

Grade C offence is 2-3 matches. Pathetic, I know.

Singo gets a match ban after his 'early guilty plea' for an offence in the Valvoline cup at Saints.

Good start to your prop forrad career lad.

Does this mean Hargreaves was incorrectly sent off?? From the highlights it looked as if Hargreaves tipped JP but there was the other man in the tackle, L'Estrange.

Or are they both being punished??

Early guilty plea - 2 match ban www.therfl.co.uk/disciplinary/item?3532

Two games for a career, even possibly crippling, tackle and three games for pulling a ref out the way to make a tackle

Equals Pathetic

Absolute joke and once again RL looks like it's run by clowns.

The RFL are more concerned with consoling -house refs ego, than the safety of the players who play the game.

I have some sympathy with Lestrange.

He lifted Peacock and a combination of that and momentum caused him to turn past the horizontal. Hargreaves then joined the tackle and drove him into the ground.

I still think more blame lay with Hargreaves for the severity of the risk as without his involvement it would have probably been a penalty but certainly no more. Having said that I don't think there was any intent on his part either.

I can see why the RFL have banned Lestrange as he was the one who lifted him into the awkward postion in the first place, however their was clearly no intent, the reaction of the players showed they didn't think he'd done a great deal wrong and he showed instant concern to Peacock when he knew what had happened.

Compare this to Scruton on Cunningham a few years ago when he singlehandedly picked him up (a feat in itself) and drove him head first into the ground and only received 3 games and you could argue 2 is harsh.

There is obviously a need to punish someone as the risk to Peacock was huge however I think both players were partially to blame and there was no malice or intent from either party

2 Match Ban
