i wonder if this means that the game can now be put on LCTV as we pay for it i find it a little irritating that we should be censored in what games we are allowed to see and what somebody deems we are not allowed to see.
The hearing is finished whats done is done fair or unfair lets see the game

Higsons oppo had given him a dig a few minutes earlier and then did so again, no reaction again from the tool with the whistle so he must have thought fekk it.

Littler made direct contact with the head when Pownall scored - nothing done. Elbows high shots and niggle galore - nothing done. I have every confidence that with competence in the middle we don't have a problem, maybe we should take a leaf out of soccer and start rolling around like we've been shot

Fully understand the frustration all round whether it be the competence of officials, opposition tactics, who is to blame within our own squad or whether we have been dealt with fairly by the RFL Disciplinary system.

Unfortunately we don't live in a perfect world and need to take responsibility for our 'red mist actions' - like channeling the aggression into an impact on the score board rather than tarnishing the reputation of the club and having important members of the squad missing for weeks on end.

It is even more important when we are coming up to the most crucial part of the season and for that matter the club's recent history. We shall need everyone available and more importantly fully match fit, to give ourselves even a 'fighting chance' (please excuse the pun).

Or maybe we shouldn't rise to Stu's game plan. We have been using it and played against it for god knows how many years. The only way that teams like Swinton will ever beat Leigh is if we field the players wife's and girlfriends or we succumb to their niggling tactics. I find it very frustrating that the player who was doing all the pushing and got dropped by Jamie was involved in three separate tussles in that brawl and can be see grinning at the end. Job done. Funny that people have said he is a Bradford player. Make of that what you will. Derek was spot on also about the standard of play and to some extent the reffing at Blackpool. I have watched that game and our draw at their place and I have to say both are two of the most exciting straight up games I have watched from our comp this year.

RL's decisions, enough said !

That isn't exactly a massive disagreement with the inference of my statement that I thought it might have been

I'm not usually one for conspiracy theories and slagging off the disciplinary panel but this really is an odd decision with Acton & Fleming. Fleming guilty of fighting twice, once being the instigator and once running in, and striking with the elbow gets a 2 match ban, Acton is guilty of fighting once and striking with the knees gets a 7 match ban. If both those players got 2 games I'd be pleased to get Jamie back but think they got off very lightly, if both got 7 I'd think it very harsh but probably fair enough as this isn't what we want in our sport, but to give one player 2 and one player 7 is just utterly farcical. It is almost as if a completely different set of people made the decision using completely different editions of the sentencing guidelines.

And there lies the problem with inconsistent disciplinary panel decisions.
Match review panel isn't fit for purpose, folk who dish the games/fines out also not fit to run a bath.
Trouble is clubs just laugh at other clubs when they boo about a bad/unfair decision but then when it happens to your club it hurts.
Something needs to be done but the clubs that complain year after year just keep on complaining without getting full support of all clubs for a fair and just system.
We don't want an advantage, just consistency imo.
