Thats me done with this once great game. I used to love RL but the game is all and done, i switch off lots of games already as the general standard is getting worse, penalties are soft, the bans ludicrous. A player gets almost the same length of ban for verbal abuse as someone only a few years ago that knocks a player out, punches him again when he's on the deck unconcious and finishing his career. 4 game ban for a tug on the shirt. I'm done. All the best.

Lets get past Saturday before we are concerned with such matters.

HKR as expected appealing the appeal. I find this absolutely ridiculous I know this kind of thing goes on in courts also but how is it you can appeal so many times, do you just keep going till you get the verdict you want.

Works for Saints so seems the precedent has been set.

Whilst the look of the sport is unappealing, I'm not really bothered by Hull KR's approach.

No matter who they face in the next round what does it say to the rest of KR's squad, we can only win if Player A is available for selection? Further what does it say to the opposition a lack of confidence in yourself or the disciplinary system?

I've no idea whether it would enter our thinking as we have appealed stuff in the past and I might be being naive here but I'd be more inclined to use the sense of injustice to spur the team on 'Let's do it for Player A to make sure we are still in it when the ban's up'.

Hull KR were unsuccessful in their appeal of the appeal.

Minchella will be suspended for their Semi Final game.
