I recall that the NRL increase bans on unsuccessful appeals, never heard of it here though. Its worth a try, he never ran in elbow raised in front of him he just used it as protection the same as Fozzard does.

Can't believe Morley got off!

Probably on the grounds that there was nothing in it ! Fozzard goes into every tackle in the same way ,it,s how he fends off and the fact he has never been cautioned or banned over it must count imo ,also the Cas player lowered his body position into the tackle which then put his head/neck in the wrong position, it's not down to Carvell if a player goes into the tackle at the wrong angle !
didn't think Moz would have got away with his !

If my memory serves me well, Terry Newton appealed against his ban in 2005 after injuring Sean Long and I think Gilmour in [ithat[/i match with Wigan. His suspension was increased after he lost the appeal.

Appeals are always heard during the same week as the initial hearing. If they decide to appeal then Carvell's new hearing will be tonight (Wednesday) meaning that clever tactics such as that can't be used! I guess we will find out tonight. Often on Boots 'n' All they announce the result of appeals - although tonight's show is on a bit earlier so you might need to trawl the internet again later this evening.

I don't think we know for sure that he is appealing anyway.
