4-6 matches he will miss the start of next season.

Ridiculous, that was for Matautia wasting time in playing the ball very slow in the last minute. A potential 6 game ban for that is crazy.

you're gonna love this one when you see it, its on x

Vaughan can't get any more than 4 as that is what SKD got for pretty much the same thing.

Not that it's much consolation, but might be worth appealing it and saying Mata'utia said 'help us up bruv'.

It's crazy and pathetic, but I also understand why it's there. If a player was badly injured, moving them could be disastrous and the player never really knows, but the temptation to pull them up must be great, given he was just trying to run the clock down.

Absolute joke. WA9 would be howling in the streets if it was one of theirs.

With SKD the player was lying on his back. This one Sione is getting to his feet with a little ‘encouragement’.
There’s another one that did the rounds on twitter back in March, was a Catalans player and was worse than the SKD one, not picked up by the MRP - but think that’s down to incompetence rather than being any sort of precedence.
Time will tell, think it will be 4.

Of course they would, the disciplinary panel is dead set against them remember.

Sione Mata'utia got a red card and a 3 match ban for a similar incident don't forget. And he didn't physically move the player, just lifted his shirt. SKD got 4 I think for a similar one to Vaughan.

Good job Cullen is on the Disciplinary or it would’ve been 12

We've had our turn already, indeed it's a bit like pass the parcel as the player Mata'utia touched had himself been banned for the same thing.

So Vaughan just needs to make sure he's not the last player to be holding the parcel when the music stops on RL playing playing the world's stupidest version of pass the parcel.

The player is obviously not injured. He has gone to ground to waste a few seconds. Vaughan has given him a little tug to encourage him up. If he gets a ban for that is more proof that the world is mad. There is no chance of Vaughan doing any damage. A warning to Vaughan saying you shouldn't do that as the player could/might be injured (rather than wasting time with a minute to go) would suffice.

Matautia should cop a ban for his poor acting skills

Would it not be better if players just stopped doing it? Whilst the bans seem daft, there is the possibility of an injured player being compromised by being moved by an opponent, so it needs to stay as a rule. The big punishments for Mata'utia and SKD were meant to be a deterrent rather than just a punishment and it hasn't worked.

They seem to be doing their best to put people of watching the game.

IF Vaughan gets a ban for that... then thats me done with this sport.
