Reckon HKR will appeal

Devil or the deep blue sea. If they finish 2nd he will miss the semi, if frivolous could get 3 which means he would miss 1st match of next season.

It was a very reckless tackle & he could have caused more damage than he did. Deserves a ban & should be more than the accidental shoulder hits (by tall players) that always bring 3 matches ban.

Agreed. The Billington one for Huddersfield was a high outstretched arm that caught Thewlis flush on the chin. No idea how that is judged to be less of a 'crime' than the kind of accidental impacts you are referring to.

How have I managed to laugh at my own joke?

And as expected they are going to apeal it

Just seen a post that says Minchella’s appeal is being dealt with next week. Hmm seems very fishy even in Hull.

Just read it.... The legal team have a cunning plan.......
Just read the mins of PV appeal, frankly I'm sure the RFL have a bias towards him. Grade D 2/3 games, he got 4 in real terms so why wasn't that red card taken into consideration?
KR will get a downgrade to B & therefore 1 game.
Hope I am wrong.

I posted something similar on our thread as potentially he could miss the final should they get there.
Whilst he can play against us on Friday I seriously don`t see us a threat to them not getting the 2 points.

He can't play on Friday. They have accepted a 1 match ban, they're challengng the grading and the second game. Minchella isn't in Hull KR's 21 man squad.

i'm glad you've posted that, thought i was going nuts then

Cheers for that. Thought it was risky!
