Quote mat="mat"that would mean RFL admitting a ref made a mistake, which whilst not unheard of is pretty rare. And even when thy do admit a mistake they dont do anything to retrospectively correct it.'"
But surely, the very fact they have called in L'Estrange and not Hargreaves is in itself an admission, both that the ref made a mistake, and that they do do things retrospectively to correct it? If they want to go down the route that the ref is 'always' right then they should have called in Hargreaves, who, clearly on the evidence, would have been found not guilty.
It's hardly a great leap to rescind the red card - though some front rowers do look on them as a badge of honour..
