| Quote: nottinghamtiger "I still find the system very frustrating, and not just this particular incident (I have said it previously lots of time if you had the time to look through my posts)
If Westwood (or any player) is banned for an on-field incident this indicates he should have been sent off at the time. It's almost the RFL's way of saying the referee got it wrong! With the amount of suspensions each year, that's an awful lot of foul play the referees are not acting strongly enough against.
Banning any player for the following game(s) is usually no consolation to the team who were actually damaged by his foul play through the loss of a player (in this case for 74 minutes!).
I would propose that one game of any suspension is served the next time the offender plays the team he committed the offence against. So, if Westwood gets a one match ban, it should be served next time the club he is playing for plays against Castleford. If he gets two matches, he should be banned for the following game (regardless of opposition) and then the next time he is due to play the team he committed the offence against.
At least this way the affected team have some kind of justice served for having the offence committed against them.'"
The thing is, no system is perfect. A player gets banned in his club's last game of the season, then moves to another club. Use the system you've suggested and you finish up penalising his new team. Leave it as it is.

| Well charged with grade B offence
No EGP 2 matches
The guidelines also indicate that any injury caused results in the higher match ban
Oh dear ...

| Putting someone in hospital and someone attending hospital for a check up and then being absolutely fine are two HUGELY different things.

He'll get a ban anyway because he only plays for Wire!

Staying in overnight because the Doctors want to keep you in for observation and a checkup are also again HUGELY different things.

You are right, no system is perfect. However, it shouldn't stop us trying to improve the system we already have just because we will never achieve perfection.
If a player is banned in his last game for a club, under the current system it does penalise his new club as the suspension is carried forwards (eg Hock and, cough, Sandow!) so that's hardly a reason not to move forwards.
Surely the current systems is designed as much as possible to penalise the individual - nobody can hold a whole club responsible for the actions of an individual (okay, some Saints fans may argue otherwise re: Shaun Wane)?
If a player racks up loads of future suspensions, he will be less attractive to other clubs who may sign him in future. Sounds like an excellent deterrent to committing foul play in the first place to me.

He is fine.
However, he wasn't fine when we needed him to be for 76 minutes on Sunday (though at least he didn't have to suffer watching the team as I did).
Nor does the fact that he is okay retrospectively justify any foul play.

| It's about time coaches were fined for spouting off about fictitious injuries. sneyd was pilloried for his tackle on maguire when mcdermott came out and claimed his ankle was broken when he had no idea and was shown to be an idiot when maguire was back 2 weeks later. It's like players feigning injury to get a penalty or someone sent off. The game is going the way of football
