I remember Jerry Seuseu (sorry about spelling) being stood down by the RFL until he sorted out his running style whilst playing for Wigan. Perhaps Richie needs to go on a course to explain to him where his feet go.

How many other players have had 10 tripping offences without any punishment?

Indeed , my wording was wrong , it just seems strange that a player is constantly being up before the disciplinary for the same offence hasn't had a ban , or as has been suggested " sort it or else "

An entry in the match review database is nothing like being "up before the disciplinary". They make a note of any matters the match review panel or referee have suggested need further study. Most are dismissed as nothing or NFA.

Citings number 11 and 12 for Richie, in the Hull KR game. 'No action' ensuing.

Seems Richie Myler has done more tripping than Bez of Happy Mondays fame !

You could do with working out what the word "citing" means.

So if review panels don't take action against tripping should they turn it into a red card on the pitch or not bother punishing tripping at all? At the worst it is a professional foul so that warrants a sin bin. Let's turn the argument around and say how many times has Jon Wilkin tackled someone in the face? Should a player receive a lengthy ban if they are repeat offenders? That is something wendyball does appear to take more seriously - by tallying up the yellow cards in a season.

The repeat offending thing is what gets to me. I watched a game recently and LMS stripped the ball in the tackle 4 times in one half of rugby - I know it is only a strip but surely at that point he should have been warned if he deliberately strips the ball again then he will go to the bin?

It amazes me that myler has been cited for tripping 9 times previouly but the original poster only started to bring it up now he plays for Leeds, so it seems he did not think it mattered that much the first 9 times.

Actually, I first brought it up when he was at Catalans - and it was ten times previously, these being his 11th and 12th citings. Just for the sake of accuracy.

Go on, I'll have a stab at it. In the disciplinary sense, it means his 'actions' have been referred higher up the chain, to see if he has a case to answer. As I mentioned in a previous post, he has received one fine and three written cautions - 'punishments' that imply his guilt.
