2019 Disciplinary thread

Quote: nottinghamtiger "Didn’t see too much in the Taylor incidents to be honest.
I have two issues with the disciplinary system.
1. Every time a suspension is handed down, that’s one incident where there referee has missed a red card. It’s reasonable to assume that if the foul play warrants a suspension of one whole game or more, then it was worth of being sent of for part of a game and the referee missed it. Given the number of suspensions we see on a weekly basis, that’s an awful lot of serious foul play that our on-field officials are missing completely or getting wrong.
2. The current system doesn’t offer fair recompense to the team who suffer from foul play. Let’s take Taylor’s suspension as an example (whether or not it is fair). Castleford have lost a player during the game itself and for a number of weeks as a result of what the panel have deemed to be serious foul play, yet the beneficiaries of Taylor’s suspension will be other teams. Of course, there’s the argument that Castleford might benefit from other players being suspended from previous games too, but it’s no way to run a professional sport when this happens on such a regular basis. I’d like to see one game of each suspension carried over until that player is due to face the team he committed the foul play against. So if a three match ban was handed down, two would be served immediately and one would be served the next time the player is due to play the team he committed the offence against.'"

What is the point of the referees putting anything on report, it's just a cop out. If anything untowards happens in a game then the match review panel pick it up anyway.
