1-2. Early Guilty Plea offered and accepted. 1 match suspension.

From RFL Disciplinary Website.

Struggling to see the logic here. Why would you appeal when you acknowledge he's guilty? Why would it be worth the gamble when the evidence is clear cut? The fact that a big game is coming up has nothing to do with it.

Besides, Powell can hardly claim to be streets ahead of Williams or Hampshire in the pecking order.

Go away and stop posting ****.

The big game has everything to do with it at. If Williams is injured then we only have one option for 6 in Hampshire. It's thin ice to say the least.

You'd at least try to get some reinforcements available. If the appeal is unsuccessful and he gets another game then so be it, at least we've rolled the dice.

BBC website says 6 games, 3 for each offence. Assume that to mean he misses 6, not 3

so "1-2. Early Guilty Plea offered and accepted. 1 match suspension."
