Didn't he go down first time because of a knock to his 'good' knee? Second time it was his 'bad' one, unrelated to the first incident?

It has its place I think. If a player is generally 'well behaved' he gets the benefit, if he's a Jamie Acton he doesn't. Any incident above a certain grading isn't allowed to utilise the EGP.

Seems fair to me that someone like Westwood gets the full ban, someone like Lineham gets a reduced ban.

may be im an old school walla..punishment fits the crime..sort of makes the thugs toe the line and that goes for general life as well....hit em hard they dont do it again

It's so you don't have to waste time going to a hearing if you just want to plead guilty and be done with it

Ok, don't go all Shawshank on me

No disciplinary system will ever be perfect in a sport like RL, I don't think the current system is too bad, but I'm not sure it's applied consistently, and too often there seems to be a blind focus on one type of infringement and in this case, similar to the Grix (I think?) incident @ Hull KR in years past, how do you, or should you take in to account the injury caused by the specific piece of foul play.

Anyway, this was against one of ours, so string him up I say!!

He may never be 'right again. Injuries of this nature can dog a player for the rest of their career I was really surprised when we improved his contract whilst out with the injury.

He's just tweeted, 'when people find out rumours about you before you do'.

So is injured and out or is he OK?

My son knows Ben's girlfriend well
My son told me that it isn't serious and was taken off as a precautionary measure and should be ready for the start of the middle 8s

hope so

Guardian now reporting that the injury is more serious than first thought and will keep him out for at least two weeks. I am sure we would prefer him to get himself right and be ready for next years assault on mid table obscurity.

Was hoping my source was wrong, but was 99% knew he wouldn't be. Get well soon Ben lad!! here's to an injury free 2018!!

yes I would not risk him again this season if we cannot stay up without him we don't deserve to !!! still angry that he was kept on after his first injury even though it was a different knee as a result he would have been putting more pressure on his other knee.
