| Quote Grimmy="Grimmy"It doesn't harm my feelings at all, I just think it's sad that he can't have a drink in his local without someone finding out and putting it online to use as a stick to beat him with. I want him sacked too but couldn't care less whether he goes to the pub in his spare time. He's just a bloke like you and me and should be allowed some privacy.'"
I’ve got no problem whatsoever in him have a pint in whatever pub he chooses. I’m pretty sure he frequents more than one pub.
Believe it or not I actually feel sorry for him at times. He’s in a hard place and it’s not great being in a position like that however, when his decisions are consistently baffling and his statements are truly unbelievable he opens himself up to criticism. |

| Quote NickyKiss="NickyKiss"I’m sure Lam is now just a comedy sketch. His favourite stand in centre is banned, so he refuses to name a young lad like Halsall or Hanley and instead goes with a short squad. Looking at the squad Hardaker will have to go to centre, so it’ll be all change across multiple positions and it’ll be clunky again.
Let’s hope Powell is ok to be added and if so I’d go (from that squad although if I had my way Halsall and O’Neill would be in the 17)-
Field
Bibby Hardaker Gildart Marshall
Hastings Smith
Singleton Powell Bullock
Smithies Farrell Partington
Subs
Clark Havard Shorrocks Byrne
A rest for KPP finally and leave Bourouh out because what’s the point in him having a 2 minute cameo?! If he was going to get 20-30 mins than fair enough.'"
Again, why are we giving game time to the guy we're getting rid of, rather than the guy we're keeping?
But yeah, as you say, no point in a brief cameo. If it's just a matter of giving Powell a short break, Shorrocks can cover it.
Still wouldn't be surprised to see Faz in the centres and Hardaker at full-back. |

Bateman has won an appeal and is now playing.
It's almost like the ref made it up, but had no evidence...

He didn't make it up
He did say something, they accepted he didn't say it to the ref but another player. |

So the ref made a mistake and we got a man in the bin for it?
Or the ref thought that he did say it to him, the RFL agrees (surprise surprise) and an independent tribunal called out the BS? |

Possibly, but if it isn't a conspiracy - then it's incompetence isn't it?
Not necessarily asking you on this one, more just throwing it out there - why did it need to go appeal? It just smacks of the RFL backing refs to the hilt, regardless of who gets hit in the cross fire. JB misses a game, we don't get to see him play. All obviously not as important as making it seem like the ref didn't get it wrong.
FWIW, even if JB did say it to the ref. It's not worth 16k in the stands + how ever many others on TV, having to watch a diminished spectacle because of a few choice words. |

Who on earth do you think "the RFL" are? It may suit your agenda to anonymise them but the match review panel aren't some faceless unknowns. |

All the same and it doesn't really matter what they are called. It's a cartel where they all close ranks. |

I think the problem is you don't know how the process works. |

Quite possibly. I'm not doing a Ruddy Duck here and saying my way is the only way...
Feel free to talk me through it as the way this one looks to the 'uneducated', it doesn't paint the process in a good light. Two varying points of argument and the match review panel back their own man. An independent tribunal then review it and find JB not guilty. |
