John Stankevitch made quite a big thing of Fieldens presence on the committee on social media. I think he made a very good point.

The problem is this:
The panel are selected well in advance. How are those who select the panel meant to know who will be appearing so that nobody is 'judged' by an ex-player who once played for the same club as the charged player?
If the ex-players on the panel can't take part in a case involving one of their ex-clubs, you would be ruling out a lot them as most players appear for 3/4 clubs during their career.

Charnley pleads guilty and gets 2 game ban and £300 fine,not heard about the other yet.

Tautai pleads not guilty and gets 2 game ban and £300 fine, maybe he should have said guilty and maybe only got 1.

OK I stand corrected. Fielden was this week . Turley last week ... Both have links with the Thugs

Not much for the conspiracy theorists to moan about this week now is there!!!

I think your right however neither of the later two have the critical influence on a result as Lockers.
Pies have enough reserve to cover marginal positions, as we have, having lost the likes of Lineham and Hughes simultaneously through different reasons.

To refuel the conspiracy, make an example of the later two, to disguise the secret agenda of the cherry and white favor panelist.

Would they have dared to after all the fuss made about the O'Loughlin saga.

your right..makes a change,,

Both have appealed. Charnleys 2 game ban has been upheld, but Tautai has been successful and had his ban reduced to 1 match!

2 games for touching the ref, 1 game for seriously bad tackle that could have ended that players career.....Yeh makes sense it is the RFL and Wigan!!

I'm not surprised at all, if a Wigan player had stabbed his own mother to death and was still there with the knife in hand when the police arrived they would still appeal it. So Charnley doesn't win his appeal it must be like touching God when you touch a ref, as for the other how that is down graded is beyond me.
