I think Catalan have every right to be angry about this

At this moment in time you are not allowed to use other incidents (no matter how blatant they were) to support your own case. The RFL say they treat each case on its own merits but the rest of us know it would just show up how inconsistent (at best) or corrupt (at worst) they actually are. I personally just hope they are incompetent. It does seem a ridiculous coincidence who their next two games are against. Don't the Kiwi's have these same 'inconsistent' rulings just before they play Aus, funny that eh?

I would be fuming if I was them. Both the challenges were very similar - Taylor's was later and into the back of O'Brien but Taia probably hit him harder. Both were late shoulder charges into the upper body of the same player, so should have been given exactly the same suspension.

How many Catalan players missed the Saints game through suspension?

Selective Saints memory syndrome strikes again!!!

Well at least you don't have the cheek to defend Taylor.

You can argue details for and against, but certainly the tackles were similar enough that one player being found with no case to answer and the other getting a 3 match ban is more than a little baffling.

The Dragons have put together a video highlighting the inconsistencies they see:

cant really argue with that.

A great video that proves there point. The more I see the Scott Taylor one the more it's obvious he was taking him out. It was late, a shoulder charge, high and planned. I'm convinced the only reason he wasnt banned is because he plays for the goons. The other superleague clubs should be standing up for Catalans in this and forcing the RFL to explain themselves

Couldn't agree more. The only one to pick up a ban was the Cats player and it was for 3 whopping games.

..... but will be allowed back to throw some hits at Warrington ...... I'm sure those at the RFL didn't realise this when they came up with their 3 game ban .... honest!

As for Taylor .... he thought it was hilarious at the time ... hitting little blokes just about sums him up.
