A grade C charge for the throw on Logan Tomkins, lets hope he gets what he deserves

It's about time this little angry tu*d got pulled. He got away with murder with Mason Caton Brown as far as I could see.
What great "Karma" it was for MCB to score a hat trick against them yesterday. Well done son!

Re Ben Murdoch-Masila: for his late tackle on Brough as Brough was kicking:
"Player makes late tackle on opponent after ball has been kicked. Contact made to body of opponent. No contact made to head or to legs. Penalty sufficient. "
The charge for Mr *rough is "Use of elbow in the 63rd minute " on Tomkins. It could be 2 - 3 matches.

Butchers Dad - I've posted elsewhere on the VT -
Danny Brough has been cited 31 times since 2008 when he was at Wakey ( that's as far as the Disciplinary info goes back ) .

but this is only his 2nd actual charge.
his only previous charge was Aug 2009 ( foul & abusive Language to an official - a 2-3 match charge ) - then he only got 1 match ban £300 fine.

the incident with Tomkins was only 1 of numerous fracas & incidents involving Brough during the game , and James Child didn't even award a penalty.

He has been cited 7 times in 2016 including the late cannonball tackle on MCB that put him on the touchlines for 3 months .
He's likely only to get a 1 match ban with a EGP.

only 1 charge in 8 years then... not as dirty a player as you try to make out

just the ultimate competitor who wants to win everything, sometimes it does boil over too far though but i wouldnt like to take that competitor out of him, wish the other giants players would put even half of the effort his shows

He is a horrible little turd.

No EGP available, hope he gets at the least 3 games.

Could have a big impact on how Huddersfields season pans out, I hope they stay up as have admired them over recent years challenging the so called "top 4".

He did get a penalty awarded against him for a high tackle. Not every misdemeanour is a penalty you know.
Saying that, I'm not going to defend him, he was frustrated yes but you need to channel that frustration properly, 3 match ban would probably be right.
As for the history stuff you post, that is all irrelevant, it doesn't mean he's been up before the beaks, I'm sure a lot of players have similar records but it doesn't mean they are dirty players etc.

3 games that we should be winning without brough and others anyway

fev, batley, london

Robbie Burrow , is a half , a great competitor , with a similar length career,
4 citing's , one charge .
proves a half can be effective , competitive , without an' edge ' to his game .

TBH team's know Brough will react and this will disrupt momentum for your team .


the nearest I can find with a similar record is Sean O'Loughlin - 32 citings 1 charge

Hes been given a two match ban. That's ridiculous

Why ?? O'Loughlin got a one match for a clothes line (high tackle) that would have done the WWE proud !!

He's got deseverdly banned don't disagree with that at all but for all the C charges recently that got reduced to one match bans for Warrington, Wigan and others it's certainly not out of line.

Oh your owner needs to keep his mouth shut too couldn't see Ken Davy commenting if it was the other way mindst maybe this will lead to another failed coup against the RL unless they increase Broughs ban.

Be sad for Salford if he and his money go but not perhaps for the rest of us.

Whereas I agree the good Doctor needs to be more prudent when commenting publicly, was it not your much missed Mr Anderson who called for the book to be thrown at Chase after his season-ending (sic) tackle on Ferres? Hmm. No strawman responses: I am not defending Chase.

Its the The RFL disciplinary thats annoyed me more than Brough has to be honest. They have annoyed me all season and fat Nigel says there's nothing wrong with it. They said he used his forearm, did they watch the footage. :


The RFL said on their page
The tribunal are aware the player does not have a bad previous disciplinary record and has been in the game for a number of years. Taking this into consideration this tribunal feel they can go to the lower end of the grading and impose a 2 match suspension and a £300 fine.

Did they watch his challenge on Caton Brown a few months ago?
The tackle he did on Caton Brown made him miss 12 weeks of the season and he had no case to answer... Why? Chase's tackle was bad last season on Ferres and he deserved the ban but Brough tackle was ridiculous. Marwan did suggest that there were two people on the panel from Huddersfield at the time of the hearing as well which annoys me even more

This is nothing against Huddersfield Giants, i just hate how The RFL disciplinary panel go about things.

Dr Koukash waited until the Disciplinary gave their findings until commenting - just as Hudgell has done;just as Carter has done etc.

Anderson commented straight after the game and tried/succeeded in influencing the committee.As have other coaches,at other clubs,since.

He is allowed an opinion.Just as Davy agrees with the salary cap...
