Anyone know when this will be announced (I assume some time today)?

On the RFL website it shows the panel for tomorrow are:

R Grant (chairman)
G Hallas
N McAvoy

Anyone know who R Grant is and if he is likely to be pro or anti Wigan?

2 games I reckon.

I would say the same, it will definately be a ban.

He's a Wigan fan if he's the same person I'm thinking of. Used to be a touch judge donkeys years ago. Last spoke to him on a plane to Catalan a couple of years back, didn't know he worked for the RFL these days until then.

So I'd say he'll be at least impartial.

Good, but I'm sure the conspiracy theorists will be watching.

live at the match i thought the sending off was harsh,but having watched a reply the ref got it right.mm has been playing like a thug for a while now and this could well bite us in the bum in the play offs.

It is a worry. Up to about the semi final he was in great form and was a much more disciplined hooker and was showing a much better all round game. I dont know if its because the forwards arent laying the foundation and he feels he has to but he needs to cut out that side of his game again and concentrate on the Rugby.

1 match ban £300 fine I say. They are normally leniant where play off/cup games are involved. Also potentially if it is a 2 match ban he potentially won't be back until the GF.

Cited for Grade C: 2-3 games according to Phil Wilkinson on Twitter.

I think it will be a 2 game ban given that he was sent off in the 15th minute and we went on to lose the game.

I think he may get 1 or 2 games. 3 would be OTT.

Grade C offence is 2-3 games. I now think he'll get 3 considering it's his 3rd red card of the season.

I've seen this mentioned a few times but can only remember the sending off v Bradford???????????
