| If I was a cynic I would say that with some clubs having paper thin squads the RFL decided to introduce fines so that sanctioned players would still be available to play for their team the following week. Obviously that's not the case as a £250 fine is a brutal penalty to pay when you only earn £50 k a year, even if they make some of it back from their appearance money.

| Good evening Warrington. The above thread was exhausting to read through.
Bongser has merely one question: all these £250 fines - where does all that money go? Again merely an ingenuous question, no inference or prejudice. Curious, that's all.

Evening B&B, It used to go to fatboy Nigel Wood to replenish his biscuit stash. Not sure where it goes now.

I wonder, given the quantity of £250 fines they dish out, whether it's just a self sustaining exercise - they create the MRP then make its running cost neutral by the fine money they bring in.......

The following was on the Yorkshire Live website...
Initially, the money received from fines is used to cover the costs of the tribunals that take place throughout the season.
After those costs are covered, the money is used to fund many other projects. As an example, the RFL's 'Enjoy the Game' campaign last year introduced Ref Cams across the community game, which were funded by fine money generated during the 2022 season. The Ref Cams were implemented to improve player and fan behaviour and act as a deterrent to match official abuse.
Beyond that, the money has been used to provide education to people within the community game. One example of this is Minds Matter, a mental health charity that has produced parent workshops which demonstrate the impact their behaviour on the touchline has on their children. Using the fine money, these workshops are available at no cost to those who wish to attend.
Finally, the fine money is also used to make a donation to Rugby League Cares, a charity that has done great work for countless people within the game and is an important part of player welfare across the sport.

Nope, I prefer a good conspiracy theory myself.

| Well I heard that the money raised by the £250 fines funds flights to Oz for the committee so they can check up on the NRL records of Warrington's Aussies to justify bans for them.....allegedly

| What gets me about the MRP disciplinary sheet is the lack of explanation around the sentencing. Going back to the week Wire played Catalans - Philbin gets 2 matches plus a fine while Batchelor of KR commits roughly the same offence and gets one match. Both players got the same paragraph of the disciplinary code cut and pasted into the sheet by way of explanation.
Now, I think the difference must come down to mitigating circumstances such as previous good/bad behaviour, nature of the incident etc... but why am I left to guess?
Would it really be too much to expect the members of the panel to explain their decisions fully - a bit like a judge explains his sentencing in a court of law - rather than just doing a bit of cut and paste. Or are the pie and peas going cold by then?
Just saying - as a member of the public who pays to go through the turnstiles (what I believe they now call a consumer of Rugby League), a bit more communication might be nice.

I think the mitigating factors in the case you point out is whether you play saints the next game or in 2 games time. BUT, obviously there is a huge bias against saints in the disciplinary panel. They're still getting favourable treatment, probably because of all the outcry for their players getting treated the same as everyone else for 6 games, or maybe there are bungs being handed out by everyone's favourite uncle

Sounds like you're saying the disciplinary are acting as a handicap panel. To what end? To create a better televised spectacle? Now that you mention it - Sky pulled the Wakey match three weeks ago and put Wigan-Salford on instead - presumably because they didn't want to show a drubbing. Well if that's what they're doing they well and truly overloaded the topweight last night....
[All of the above was written while wearing a tin-foil hat with knitting needles sticking out of it that I saw a Saints fan drop outside the ground last night]
