Good point!

I would think when he is up next week if they take his previous behaviour into consideration, He will get sending off sufficient and a giant size easter egg

Well despite me thinking at the time it was the right decision I suppose the panel will view the DVD.

Should they watch it all I expect the referees is in more doodoo than Hobson.

I also wonder if the incident that caused Stanton to leave the field will be viewed.That looked like a high tackle to me, which of course the ref missed, although we eventually got a penalty after a dicussion with the left wing Touch Judge.

Does that mean he is available for the Haven game - would need his size, they have a big pack IIRC.
Needs to keep his head screwed on though, and aim his tackles below the opponents

westwood from warrinton got 5 matches from saturdays game and never got sent off so where is the consistancy it was worse than hobsons offence

Watched the dvd an rerun Hobsons sending off and thought he hardly touched the man. hopeful sending off sufficient. Mind you nothing would surprise me. Also Westwoods was a definate ban.

Westwood should ve got 8-10 match ban.It was a shocker...

I personally think the "get out" of the on report should be aborted especially where TV instant replay is recorded. The team that suffer are the ones that have been offended against sometimes losing a substitution. Every person in this world could see that Westwood deserved to be sent off. A 30 second replay to the ref. or 4th official would stop a lot of the sitting on the fence attitude by the referee!

Stevo called it right on B n A , if the camera's are there and an ' on report ' offence occurs then the offending player should be ' subbed ' to the sin bin and the match continues

The 4 th official then takes a few minutes to review the incident and makes a decision

Either a sending off wereupon the player exits the playing area and his team lose him and an interchange

Or he returns to the pitch and the interchange is wiped off

It sounds great when spoken about but there is a real danger of becoming a stop start game like American Football. I would love the game to go on another 30 mins but only if it was all action. The player that had to leave the field should have to come right back on with an interchange during play.

not totally against the idea but does it then become trial by TV?

We've had promotion by committee so why not

I would sooner have that than our season ended by a ref like the one at Fev. I think the pro's with outweigh the con's.

but isn't that where the argument falls flat as the technology isn't at all/any (if tv's not there) grounds. The RFL does nothing to assist cubs now with anything to do with video well at Co-op level anyway.
So would it be fair to just have it on the tv games?
