If you read my post I was making the point that it's pointless to try and compare specific incidents because even similar incidents can be judged differently. The only fair way would be to judge foul play as a whole, and even then no one set of fans can take the moral high ground. Something that quite a few have by starting a thread on our forum and venting forth their spleens like their Club's turds don't stink. Leeds players would have been treated differently. As would Cas, Wigan, Catalans, Dewsbury, and Swinton. Each incident is supposed to be judged on its merit at the time. Therefore it's a valid statement to say they'd be treated different. Some may infer bias to certain Clubs. I don't hold any evidence that says that's so, so I wont make comment. The trouble is, it goes both ways. I don't have evidence to show bias, and I'd hope that it would never happen. But equally, you don't have evidence to say that they aren't. So your point is void.

Jools it seems you wont let this drop AFTER the sentence.

In some ways the length of the sentence could well have been increased by your Coach`s comments `Throw the Book at him` & Crabtree`s `Shouldnt happen in our game` - & this before the Hearing. Dreadful behaviour.

The punishment does not fit the crime in my opinion but like the Doctor - I Have accepted the position and am now moving on. I suggest you do too but........................beware the next indiscretion by a Huddfersfield player. `

People on here need to get over themselves, RL is a hard sport played by hard men, fouls happen, injuries happen, but to suggest that a player is out for as long as the injury is stupid, what if a trip ended someones career? He got banned end of!
A fairer way would be that if a player got a 4 game ban for instance, that ban should be served against the team who lost the player ie the Giants, even if it took 4 years, and if the player leaves they take the ban with them, that way other teams wouldn't profit at the expense of an injured player of another club, and any team taking them on would be baggage and all

If you watch the footage you will see that the evil Mr Chase also apologised on the field after the incident on Friday (before being bundled out of the way by 'outraged' Hudds players). A strange reaction for someone who was apparently out to do in his opponent.

I note that sky have now picked the return Salford vs Hudds fixture as a TV game. They are obviously expecting it to be a tasty affair.

MELTDOWN!

IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!

I have been trying to rattle through the disciplinary panel records on the RL site:for this season so far
(I cannot find anyone charged for Round 6)

35 players have been charged before the independant tribunal
7 have been from Salford:
Hauraki thrice (a total of 5 matches ban)
Hock once (6 matches ban)
Fages once (2 matches ban)
Chase once (7 matches ban)
and Griffin once (fine)

The two biggest bans have been Hock and Chase by far. When you go through the bans handed out, 1 match bans are common and 2 match bans noteable.

The tackle was not good,

1, Its about time the refs shouted held sooner than what there are doing , it mite stop the 3rd man coming in round the legs, all teams do it, watch the matches.

2. People are shouting for Rangi to be banned as long as Ferries is injured, ????? not 4 weeks ago, A Salford player tackled a Catalans player. the coach cried it was a foul tackle and said player was going to be out for months with broken ribs, and bugger me 2 weeks later said player was back on the pitch fit anwell. Untill he got injured again.

3. we had 2 players injured against wigan, did or coach go crying to the RFL or SKY. NO he didnt, its a contact sport, Injures happen, maybe our coach should shout loader and cry on the tele, he mite get a few players from other teams banned for a few games,

4 Cant wait to see the match on SKY tonite and the first player who comes in round the bottom of the legs, or walks into the ref????
and see how many games they get banned for .

5. END OF.

1) yes-
2) if ferres is back in 2 weeks I'll post you a £50
3) your owner never shuts up whinging about something or other about the sport and how it's run to RFL, SKY and anybody else he can.
4) I will 100% guarantee you won't see that happen tonight.
5) shouldn't that be- FACT

Always thought that one match of any ban should be served the next time that player plays against the team offended against. For example, Chase would be banned for the next 6 games regardless of opposition, but also the next time his team plays Huddersfield.

Er, what about O'Loughlins 2 footed lunge, studs up at Rangi Chase when he didn't even have possession of the ball last year? In 48 years of watching the greatest game, that was the worst thing I have ever seen. He wasn't even penalised, let alone suspended.

Good shout tiger!

I've stated this many times over the years.
I get fed up of a team suffering from foul play when their players are injured and have to be withdrawn and/or injured for future games, only to see their rivals benefit from the suspension that then follows.

If that had happened last Friday then I dare say the result against 11 man Salford could have been different!
