Gary Hetherington has been charged by the Rugby League with misconduct and will appear before them on October 1

Did he falsify his match report though? Leeds accused him of doing that but there was nothing official said from any other outlet. The fact that Leeds made that accusation, and possibly its untruthfulness (we don't know), maybe the basis for the action that the RFL is now taking. It's one thing saying that the ref had a rubbish game and taking a fine for your troubles; its another thing altogether to accuse a referee and the governing body of corruption, which is exactly what falsifying a report would be.

Oh shut up.

I don't really see why he's so aggrieved. No charges were brought for whatever reasons. An investigation is not the same as being charged....any idiot can see/understand that.

Oh, and the comments about Carney. Is he for real?

Personally I think the RFL have more serious problems to worry about, like the Championship appeal. It is about time Red Hall got their act together and many Super League Clubs.

I did not agree with how the RFL dealt with the possible shield presentation at the Warrington game, the shield should never have been on show, it looked a joke at one time on top of a towel on a chair pitch side, but then it had to be taken away when it was known that it would not be presented, but for then McManus to say it could have caused crowd problems in the next match programme and openly to criticise the RFL and Sky was completely inappropriate, his comments about possible trouble from fans was a slur on Saints fans, who have never had crowd problems. Sometimes Chairman and CEO's should be seen and not heard! or think before they say or write anything.

He's apparently now complaining about Catalans signing Carney.
