I wonder if he was up for playing an international match (or a semi-final or final) this weekend if he would have got away with a fine and warning towards future conduct.

Yes I know Sykes played v Hudds.
I was just saying the three were initially banned whereas Senior was not.

McGoldrick's a regular visitor to the dis panel.
Rumour has it he has his own parking space!

If that is the case, how can they not give Senior a ban for actual bodily harm to an opposing player? whilst banning players who have only "put others at risk of injury"

it really is a FARCE that committee.

Why wasn't McGoldrick sent off for 10 minutes at least.
Cummings said on the radio that Senior should 'probably' have been given 10 minutes so why didn't he instruct refs to send players off if it happened again.
Ridiculous. He is not good at his job and should be sacked.

It does make you wonder how they went on in the 1970's and 1980's doesnt it ? When there were some real brawls on the pitch, and players like Jim Mills were up almost every week for getting sent off for fighting.

To be fair though - if they're taking into account past conduct, McGoldrick is a complete t*sser in every game and consistently dishes out sly shots in a way Senior could only dream of.

One can only hope this ban is a result of the panel realising what a little sh*t Ryan is and that he can look forward to many more.

One of the most pointless waste of space imports in SL - get a kid in there Cas.

Taken from Sporting life - "Due to previous records, both players were also fined £300 at a Rugby Football League disciplinary hearing on Tuesday evening."

Suggests that Senior should have been banned for 1 game with no fine, due to his good previous record, to me. More evidence, if any were needed, of RFL hipocrisy.

Have we signed a new stand-off?

Good work BBC. Outstanding coverage.

McGoldrick seemingly has a gob at most games at players and why he does this I don't know as it gets on our nerves seeing him do this nearly every game but at least he cannot next game with his one game ban. Asa Saints fan how can you comment on McGoldrick when you don't see him except when the Saints are our opponents ?

Because he's the same whenever I see Cas on TV and other fans seem to report the same antics when they play Cas. He's a tool, in the same way that I know Ben Cockayne/Paul Reilly etc are tools despite not having the misfortune to watch them every week.
