We've had our turn already, indeed it's a bit like pass the parcel as the player Mata'utia touched had himself been banned for the same thing.

So Vaughan just needs to make sure he's not the last player to be holding the parcel when the music stops on RL playing playing the world's stupidest version of pass the parcel.

The player is obviously not injured. He has gone to ground to waste a few seconds. Vaughan has given him a little tug to encourage him up. If he gets a ban for that is more proof that the world is mad. There is no chance of Vaughan doing any damage. A warning to Vaughan saying you shouldn't do that as the player could/might be injured (rather than wasting time with a minute to go) would suffice.

Matautia should cop a ban for his poor acting skills

Would it not be better if players just stopped doing it? Whilst the bans seem daft, there is the possibility of an injured player being compromised by being moved by an opponent, so it needs to stay as a rule. The big punishments for Mata'utia and SKD were meant to be a deterrent rather than just a punishment and it hasn't worked.

They seem to be doing their best to put people of watching the game.

IF Vaughan gets a ban for that... then thats me done with this sport.

Appeal it and appeal it again

What’s the betting we cop a frivolous charge lol.

Run the video until the 80 is up and watch Matuatia sprinting to Mbyes' celebration under the sticks.... No injury there and I hope PVs rep shows that incident as evidence that it was purely time wasting and nothing else.
Maybe Pete might av a word with his bru to support his appeal.... But being a Saints player I very much doubt that..... Vaughan must appeal, its nothing like the others as he wasn't hurt.

im getting closer to giving up watching with every petty penalty and bans for sweet fa.

Sionne Matatuia (SP) got 3 match ban last yr for similar pulling Levi up for faking an injury.
