Both Tommy Gallagher and Stuart Littler have been referred to the Disciplinary tribunal for alleged Grade B offences in the Hunslet game.

Gallagher is accused of [i"using any part of his body forcefully to twist, bend or otherwise apply pressure to the limb or limbs of an opposing player in a way that involves an unacceptable risk of injury to that player."[/i

Littler is accused of a [i"careless high tackle."[/i

Each offence carries a recommended 1-2 match ban.

That could well be the price of our guys getting drawn in last week. If they are found guilty, then fair enough. However, I hark back to the Sheffield game, where two similar offences were referred to the tribunal, and both Eagles' players escaped bans - despite a Leigh player being put out of the game injured, as a result of a similar action to Gallagher's alleged one.

Three Featherstone players (Haley, Dickens & Bostock) have also been referred to the tribunal, with recommended suspensions of 0-1; 2-3; and 1-2 matches respectively. So, they could lose more players than us, for next week's game!

any bans would include the Batley game too.

Dickens 'allegedly' headbutted one of the Fax players straight in the face, wouldn't be surprised if he picks up a couple of matches so might miss the game against us.

Who was the last Rugby League player to be sent off ?
Are they now officially 'Angels' and wouldn't harm a fly ?
Or now are the ref's are told to put 'anything/everything' on report, so no game is 13 v 12 ?

2 got sent off in that Fax v Fev match last week, and then Moa for Hull FC 2 weeks ago. But i agree refs are far too soft and use the 'on report' as a way to avoid making a decision even when they had a clear view.

I have read somewhere, apologies if it is on here, that there is discussion taking place to amend the on report system to include the TV ref.If it warrants it then the on field referee will be told to dismiss the offender.

Just found that Fev have had ANOTHER man sent off today. 2 in 2 weeks for fighting, dirty sods. Still, good for us if they miss our match in 2 weeks

Fev have been involved in a couple of high intensity games, this past fortnight. From my memories of the past couple of seasons, they struck me as a disciplined side.

I see Nozzy, only Featherstone players get sent off, when they are playing in a game they are not winning easily !!!

So you don't think "Oops I did it again" will wash as a defence this time then?

Amazing how Championship players are treated differently than SL. Each week there are about 10 + names on the list from SL - usually for 'dangerous contact' - some players appearing almost weekly (eg Joel Tomkins last season) and 99% get a 'NO CHARGE' verdict. In the League Express this week 14 players were listed from Championship clubs and would you believe - 12 have a CHARGED verdict.

last weeks 'handbags' at Fax was bug_ger all. Having seen it again and again, I still can't come to any other conclusion. But I bet Stu gets a ban of a couple of matches (mitigated down cos of his previous good record) and Micky H and Ashall for fax will get a ban cos Hicksy sent them off even tho it was nowt more than handbags!!! Bossy may get away with it and may Dane Manning for Fax.
Yesterday, Tim Spears actions was unbelieveable. We don't need that crapola. He'll get a def ban and won't be available for the Leigh game.
