exactly, can have a nice rest

and after 3 wins become the new scapegoat for scott grix

On his day, Brough is/was one of the best kickers of the ball in the game and has all of the other skills required to be a top class HB.
Unfortunately, he's never really been given the chance at international level (sorry Scotland fans) and with the lack of a decent HB for England for so many years, he should have had the shirt.
Unfortunately, the incident against Salford does him no favours whatsoever and he should cop a couple of games.
Clearly, there has been something wrong in the Huddersfield camp this season and Brough may have been part of the problem.
He's looked far from happy and very frustrated for most of the season and he's quick to throw his teddy out of the pram when things aren't going his way.

Brough's attitude is what ruled him out of an England place. His only international place will be in a smaller nation where it can still be all about him.

Someone somewhere has cocked up. Brough with two matches despite the use of an intentional elbow which is 4 matches minimum. Tony Smith has recently called for a debate on the disciplinary process, this would be very welcome in order to iron out these amateur inconsistentices.

Deliberate strike with the elbow is 8 games minimum, by the RFL's own rule book.

The problem here is that he was cited for an accidental elbow (Which is incorrect as it was deliberate) which carries 2-3 ban.

His EGP means he's been given a two match ban.

Whoever cited it as an accidental elbow is either blind or a coward.

misses just the fev and batley games then

brierley will get a go in the halves now to partner ellis

Brough even has the gall to suggest that contact was made trying to push himself off from the tackle.

They should have given him an extra game, for being a bare faced liar.

You're 'avin' a laugh ....

Brough looks up to see where the ref is (running away/not looking/following play), decides he will get away with a cheap & nasty shot to the neck face with a forearm smash.

Pre meditated & cowardly.

Nuff said.

2 game ban and £300 fine is the outcome

Which shows that Koukash & now Smith are correct ....

RFL, not fit for purpose.

It's just getting silly now; the disciplinary panel is making inexplicably stupid decisions on a week by week basis, and no one seems willing, or able, to bring them into line. Makes the RFL look foolish and infuriates owners, players and supporters.

Maybe the only stakeholder who matters now is Sky, and they won't want big name players banned for multiple games, for fear of impacting on the viewing figures?

The thing that annoys me about this one is they completely ignore their own guidelines. I said earlier in the thread I thought it was a grade C and that's what he got. I've no problem with the end result, it's how they got there I have a problem with.

Going off their guidelines and looking at the incident there's no doubt it was intentional and therefore should have carried a greater charge. If you get a high tackle for example, there's a possibility it could be intentional, it could, and is in most cases either mis timed and it is virtually impossible to prove either way. This one is different as I can't see any way it was anything but intentional.

Does look corrupt and always goes in favour of the offending player, maybe the disciplinary needs to change the name, to Players Offending Offload Panel............P.O.O.P for short.
