Greg gets 2 matches for moving ref out of the way to try and stop opposition scoring Inu off Catalan could have broke a Salfords players back with a late and dangerous dump tackle yet didn't even get cited for it

For some reason Gregg has used an early [iguilty[/i plea (EGP)

Bizarre !??!

I've had this conversation before about EGP's,apparently you either use them or lose them.You can't carry them over.

You don't plead guilty unless you feel you have a reasonable chance of contesting the charge. Seems odd, even getting it down to a 1 match ban would've helped.

I have since seen the footage and Jack Smith clearly checked back into McNally's path. The EGP is bizarre.

McNally admitting guilt is amazing, he has been poorly advised. This incident should have been used to make the RFL change their rules by ridiculing them in as many ways possible. This can't now happen.

Rather than receiving an on field apology from the referree, Gregg gets a two match ban.
The lunatics are without any doubt now running the RFL Asylum and should plead guilty to turning the sport into a complete laughing stock.

Have we had a fair rap from the disciplinary this season?
So the Refs inept positioning is ok by the RFL?

No.
Seemingly.

The RFL didn't come to this conclusion, McNally did it for them when he has a brain fart and pleaded guilty.

Probably because he would have got three matches if he'd contested the charge.

I don't think the ref was badly positioned. However, I'm certain that he backed into McNally's path - he started a yard in front of the tryline, and then moved backwards, without checking, straight into McNally's path, behind the tryline. What would the outcome have been, had McNally not pushed out, but had let the ref reverse into him? Presumably the same charge, plus 6 points for Salford!!

Your most likely correct Alan, i thought i had read the outcome of a discipline hearing where a player had pleaded not guilty to deliberate contact or pushing and whaddya know the panel disagreed and the player was much worse off than if he had pleaded guilty (both length of ban and amount of fine).

Chris Houghton (sp?) was charged with a Grade 4 contact with Bentham, unlike McNally he contested the charge and was found not guilty.

Now the RFL really are having a laugh at our expense - Chris Houston of Widnes up on a Grade D charge of Contact with a Match Official vs Warrington.
Houston cleaned referee Bentham out by running a defensive line that he could have easily altered to avoid the contact.
He is up for 3 to 5 games and gets off - not guilty.
Good luck to him and Widnes but how on earth Gregg gets panned for his alledged offence is now much further beyond my clearly limited comprehension than ever.

So Gregg McNally is to blame for admitting pushing the Ref ? I saw Chris Houston push Phil Bentham in the back, he ran straight at him deliberately and, all widnes fans were expecting him to get five or six games based on what former player Gareth Hock received! I know your one who doesn't think we are unfairly treated down at the RFL, have a look what Chris Houston did and, who to then, compare that to Jamie Actons four game ban last season for pushing Salford player Flanagan in the back!
Incidently, Kyle Amor got sending off sufficient for his high shot against Wigan!!! Cant wait for Jamie to do a Ferris or Westwood or even Amor any guesses for the outcome ?
