If he forgoes the Spicy Cottage in Wibsey for a couple of months we can finally build the 'Wembley of the North'

Holroyd got a 10 match ban for punching. We’re not seeing him for a bit. Also the Leeds forum says Mustapha got sent off in a reserves game so he might miss a few as well

TEN GAMES!

Haven't seen it but it was suggested on here that it was in retaliation for a "low grab". Did the aggressor cop a ban as well as a mitt full?

You are defo not the RFL's favourites as so many other Yorkshire clubs like to suggest you are.

Bongser thought that (after [isine die[/i became legally iffy) nine games was max. Please educate him.

Good luck against The Vikings.

10 games, you could argue maybe harsh (but he's only himself to blame) but I'm stunned Shorrocks only got half the punishment for the punch to the back of the head, which is far more dangerous IMO

They have to appeal that surely? YEah he lost his tin spectacularly but there's mitigation. Same punishment as punching an unconscious play on teh floor in a Grand Final? Stinks

10 games that he will miss for l***s so who cares. I would have been more than happy for it to be 15 to be honest

10 games is way over the top. Yes he sent and landed a few but we’ve seen much worse get a lesser punishment. Has he got a bad record or something?

Was it as bad as the Will Pryce spear tackle? I didn't think so. Seems OTT.

You clearly have a short memory that it was Leeds who tried to help you out when you were going bust and have recently loaned you players that you were desperate for.

They are not going to appeal.

You'll be referring to Flower effectively ending a player's career due to ongoing concussion issues. Thought Flower got a time penalty rather than games but Bongser is usually wrong. Most of that time ticked by in close season because he played for Wiggin.

Take Bongser's word for it or search his posts from the time, but was against Leigh signing him - and much good did he do us anyway.

10 games for punching is mental. Wonder if he got 5 games for each player he laid out.

I understand the need to protect the players but the game has honestly gone soft. Punching like Holroyd did should be 4 game maximum. But that cowardly shot from behind should be 8 at least. Honestly can’t believe Holroyd warrants a ban the same as a spear tackle or the Flower/Hohaia incident. Madness.

I was talking to a Referee at the W/E who sent an U15 Player off recently for throwing one Punch he received 5 matches + 5 Suspended he said the RFL are really clamping down at all levels
