Erm, it isn't like a double-or-quits thing where someone tosses a coin and that determines the appeal outcome. If we think the outcome is wrong, appeal it. If not, let it go.

What is there to lose? Do you think DP agrees with the ban? I'm 100% certain he would want him playing against Saints so it's a no brainer for me.

Who is the mystery "middle" that might be available this week.
Is it Luke Thomas?

The game is lacking so much credibility. How can they pluck an offence out of thin air, something not reported or penalised on the night in front of the cameras. But piers-paul chicken winging clarks knee, the one he's just recovered from injury with, gets totally ignored. Totally bent, makes me want to stop watching.

I seen that and have just seen what Vaughan got a ridiculous ban for..you don't have to be Einstein to work out which is the worst offence

I've seen the video of the cheap shot goon trying to end Daryl Clarks season...it beggars belief that it will go totally un-noticed by the RFL and the match officials. Clark should have stayed down and brought attention to it. I don't like play acting, but jeez sometimes honesty is not the best policy. Who do Catalans play this week? I'd put a £10 on at least one of their key forwards getting a ban after their next game.

Saints hate Kendall mate.

It’s been happening all season mate.

Now now, as you said we just have to accept everything as correct or we sound like Saints fans.

The club are far too reticent. We should appeal Vaughans ban and if that fails, appeal again as Saints did.

If they double the ban, we can cope v Wakefield but the disciplinary are such a mealy-mouthed bunch they'll probably capitulate at the slightest show of annoyance from us.

Are they? Did you see how they argued against the mcguire suspension?

The Entertainers* are now citing Pierce Paul’s non disciplinary action as further proof of the RFL’s bias against them.
Apparently had a Saints player done that it would have been 8-10 games and/or Clark has signed for Saints so it’s ok to do that.
The fact that any player from any team should be banned for that behaviour seems to have eluded them.
*the sobriquet “The Entertainers” is to be used in a sarcastic fashion until further notice

It may be a coincidence but all of the games were televised over Easter and looking back at sky sports news article 10 players picked up a ban over that weekend. It could be that it was rivals round so some players were a bit more fired up.
Yet last weekend only 2 games on TV and only 2 players picked up a ban.
The weekend at the end of March only 1 player I think (willie isa) picked up a ban and again from the televised Leigh v Wigan game.
It would be interesting to see the proportion of match penalty notices from TV games versus non TV games.

I think this is a very good point. Very interesting to see the stats. More scrutiny & might even be clearer pictures

Anyone know if it is being appealed, not seen anything to suggest they are.
