play all 3 half backs and hood

Is there a link, please?

Whilst Mickey's actions probably weren't intentional, the tackle was dangerous. Luckily the opponent didn't seem to be injured and three matches would be about right, in my opinion.

I would be somewhat disappointed if Hock got more than three matches too. He threw less than half the punches that Brad Singleton and Ashton Sims landed (the Disciplinary said "several"icon_wink.gif and they only got one match each. As for contact with the match official - well, that's laughable, as the guy shouldn't have been on the pitch, surely? And he was hardly 'hi-viz' as a match official!

It may be harder to defend Jamie's apparent actions, though - in my opinion.

The RFL have posted it on their twitter account

Thanks derek. I don't do twitter.

Cheers, 'prop'

It was a bad tackle, but it was out of character for Micky and the other lad jumped straight up without any problems. 3 matches is probably fair although it seems inconsistent with SL equivalent but I guess that is nothing new!

More important IMO that we get Hock's 'touching an official' charge over turned. That was a ludicrous charge and hopefully the RFL will see sense (I know, I know!) and not let the fact that it is Hock blind them from making the right decision.

Correct it could have been anyone coming on to the field

Gaz Hock "pleads guilty to Grade D repeated punching (vs Swinton) - 3 match suspension and £100 fine"

No issues with that, it's the next one that we need to fight to get overturned.

fair suspension cant keep punching players.Other charge if hes found guilty is a stitch up

Acton gets 7 punching and using knees 4 for punching 3 for using knees

"Jamie Acton pleaded not guilty to Grade D strikes with knee (v Swinton) found guilty - 3 match ban..."

"Acton continued... Pleads guilty to Grade D repeated punching (vs Swinton). Found guilty and suspended for 4 matches and fined £100."

7 matches for Acton, gutted!

He has been playing really well, 2nd best prop after Dayne Weston. Must admit I watched the video a few times and didn't see him strike with the knee but obviously the panel spotted something. Silly from Jamie, he had been much improved with his temper before that one incident.

Think that rules him out basically up to the 8's now, he'll be a big loss.

Swinton instigated all the fighting and got away with murder at the disciplinary meeting for their players

`Hock also pleaded not guilty to a charge of Grade D deliberate or reckless physical contact with a match official and was found not guilty. `-
