No surprise Saints appealing Makinson ban.

On the face of it, it seems a tad harsh - I thought two games at the time. It was direct shoulder contact to the head though, there was no attempt to bend the back, it was just a very misjudged tackle. He has previous, maybe that’s where the 3 games comes from.

Go back to last season, I think it was him, and hurrell who both had form, for coming in, and hitting passers late with the shoulder and in the head he was getting done/carded for it back then.

Clearly it's a technique that doesn't work clearly wellens hadn't worked with him to change it. Or he doesn't want to

Leigh appealing Asiata ban. They should be appealing why O’Brien never got cited.

Had he still been playing for us, I wonder how many games Tom Lineham would have received for the same offence.

Both harry smith and makinson receive 3 match bans...how that lot can say they both deserve the same punishment is beyond me

Expect those clowns to throw the book at Vaughan on Monday and possibly fine Sam, too. It's beyond a joke now, really. We're in the era of accidental contact being penalised on an equal footing with real, foul play, and players now looking to stay down so that if enough replays are shown, the VR will intervene. Sam's right, it's a loving pantomime. Let's all watch the ref deliberate with his earpiece. Yeah, that's what we all come to watch.

I hope he keeps speaking his mind and they keep fining him. Someone needs to speak up.

Not even a penalty last night in my opinion. Vaughan would have to bend in half, or disappear at that speed to avoid it

However that sending off changed the game and ruined the spectacle, imagine the outcry if he isn’t banned.
•Not a conspiracy theory just how I think it will play out. I hope I will be pleasantly surprised.

Cannot wait to see what those clowns come up with this afternoon. More than one dodgy call over the weekend, thought Hudds were hard done to yesterday even more than PV tbh. Watch them double down and hand out hefty bans though, probably more because Sam actually spoke out, and we play that shower on Saturday.

After watching the Saints game, Warrington will be able to beat them without PV, just let Warmsley run the ball in, guaranteed to get it back with the amount of knock ons he gives.

Three matches for Vaughan, as judged at 'higher end'. Total rubbish, but just what we have come to expect from these clowns: https://www.rugby-league.com/article/63 ... view-panel

Makes no odds really. Nice break for him before the play offs - hopefully Dufty back for then as well. Chance for Philbin to stake a claim.
