| But apparently, the RFL are giving him the option of an early guilty plea (Westwood, that is.)
This early guilty plea thing is not my cup of tea tbh.

Agreed.
You shouldn't receive a lesser ban for admitting your guilt early on. If the misdemeanor is worthy of a ban, then you should get the full ban.

Yep, but that wasn't a case in point IMHO.

| Don't guilty pleas in a court of law attract lighter sentences? I assume the RFL (and the NRL) are using the same logic - save us all time and hassle (plus vindicate the ref/video reviewer in the process) and we'll cut a deal on your sentence.

Correct about courts in England and Wales and probably correct that the RFL applies the same regime.

54062_1294991734.gif RLFans finest:
[quote="Saint77777":3t42372l]Maguire was a black mark on RL in this country. Whilst coaches like Daniel Anderson and Brian McLennan won championships on the back of exciting Rugby league, Maguire set out to win at all costs, evident by the way Danny Maguire was seriously injured and laughed at on the floor by the wigan players as he writhed in agony. Then there has been the constant bending back of limbs, trying to seriously maim the opposition. Even Phil Clarke has jumped on the bandwagon with his disgusting comments about the Danny Maguire incident.
I think its fitting that the 2 fairest teams in the comp, who have been on the receiving end of Wigans tactics should contest the Grand Final and make it a proper family day out instead of the knuckle dragging, salivating neanderthals from Wigan, that would pour into manchester on grand final day.
I for one cant wait to mingle with the Leeds fans and have a beer with them, rather than having to watch my arms and legs, should wigan have got there.[/quote:3t42372l]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_54062.gif |

| Completely stupid moment, and deserves to be banned. There was absolutely no need. Good player, shame he isn't the brightes in the box. Lauaki is lucky with two games IMO, could've and maybe should've been more.

| Quote: Andy Gilder "Anyone defending Westwood must be trolling, right?
It's a deliberate attack to the head of a player who was being held by two opponents. It's either a grade C or D for deliberately striking, or D to F for a deliberate stiff arm to the head with no intention to make a legitimate tackle.
Either way he should be looking at 3 games as the very minimum.'"

Sorry for the late reply. I think when it comes to stuff like this I'm reminded of the time when Paul Harrogan did a similar thing to Ian Lucas which led to the citing of players in internationals for such offences. The tackle ended Lucas' career just as he was starting to really come of age. Ended his career, his schoolboy dreams, supporters hopes and probably his future income aspirations.
It's one thing somebody throwing a punch at you and you fighting back but a swinging arm is not only an attempt to injure the opponent it is always one where the attacker knows the individual has little chance to respond or defend themselves (they are effectively prone). I would say you could argue it's even more willful and deliberate than a punch.

Have you? And what level of rugby league was that deemed acceptable?
