I wonder if Mr Flannery will be be invited to Red Hall for tea, biscuits and a little chat about this comments that have appeared across the general media today.

Questioning the integrity of the Judiciary

Fair play to Flanners, we all knew the RFL would bottle it, and they have.

If it was anyother team's player saying it would it be fair play to him aswell?

Yeah, anyone who complained about Leeds would get our support

Yes. I think JJB is an absoliute pillockk to be appealing to be homest. It is clear what he did. I had no rpblem with a one match ban, but to be appealing against it stinks in my opinion and probably that of Saints.

Yes mate, i can have a conversation without having Saints tinted specs on.

It's about time the RFL had some backbone.

Every now and then things happen within the game which question the integrity of the game and it makes it look a laughing stock.

It's no suprise that referees bottle so much on the pitch, when people above them in the organisation bottle it as much as they do and more besides.

The standard of officiating in the league is a joke, there isn't a single referee that you can say is 'good', they are all much of a muchness, and by that, i mean they're crap.

Some of the rules within the game are ridiculous and need changing, and the new playoff system is crazy too.

They have to stop being soft with suspensions, start officiating games better on the pitch, and also get rid of some crazy rules.

Whatever team, if players are allowed to speak out against the game, it is a mockery, Flannery like a coach should be called in front of the RFL and banned from at least one game, a fine is nothing, the club would pay it.

WWWWHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Not finished top this year have we!!!!!!!

Now I know why, It's the RFL's/Referees and the Rules of the game's Fault!

So we should just butter up the RFL even though they are bottling it and many people can see it.

Load of rubbish pal, praise where praise is due, criticism where it is needed too.

I am not sure how you can ban somebody for 'speaking out' which would succeed in making a martyr out of a player anyway.

A fine would be more apt, because I agree with your wider point that the game cannot be allowed to be nrought into disrepute by careless comments to the media.
