We could always do a swap with them. We can have Ryan Bailey, and Leeds can have some of Jeff Lima's shyt.

There used to be two sorts of players that fans of the opposition love to hate. The first are hated because they're feared; in other words, they're capable of brilliant play or the kind of inspired performance that can turn the game around.

The other kind are hated because they're niggly, cheapshot b@stards of average ability.

Now we have a third kind - niggly, cheapshot b@stards of average ability who go crying to the ref to report a foul that never happened.

How long does it usually take for a club to appeal against a ban?

With Jeff Lima being new to the competition and with the alleged incident on Wilkin dividing opinion it would seem there may be adequate grounds for appeal?

So are we saying that if it's seen and penalised on the day (A Penalty is given bear in mind not even a Sin-Bin!) that this is the equivalent of it not being seen and getting a 1/2/3 match ban afterwards?

My point is that numerous other chicken wing tackles were penalised at Cardiff by the Referee, yet not 1 of these has been referred to the BEAK.
If it's only worth a Penalty within the game, how can it be worth a suspension when reviewed after?

Lima plays for us but the others dont?

I worry a little that we won't bother because on the Sky website it mentions Murphy from Wakefield will appeal his ban yet theres no mention of Lima appealing his.

We also didn't appeal Coleys ban last season when it seemed a very harsh decision.

Hope i'm wrong.

Because Whingin' Wilkin wasn't involved to ensure it was put on report?

my point is that if the ref sees it and gives a penalty, and DOESNT put it on report.....thats end of.

if its put on report......penalty or no penalty , then they look at it and decide if theres a case.

in this case we have a 3rd option.........the player whinges to the ref.

im not defending these decisions......im making a point.........but the common denominator in our posts is...LACK OF CONSISTENCY

No it's not. It's still looked at.

Wonder who makes that decision?

I can only assume that if we do not appeal then the Wigan club agree with the RFL's penalty.

Another player was banned for pressure on the joint at the weekend also. 1 match ban for him.

No it doesn't
A player can be charged at a later date even if a Penalty was awarded on the day etc.

And how on earth can someone equate that giving a penalty for an offence on the day Equate to getting 2 matches at the review stage if not seen!
It's ludicrous!

well that makes the lack of consistency worse then....if its been penalised , then the player should be up on charge.
if its an offfence worth a ban...then why the fook arnt every player who was penalised on the mat?

unless they look at it and decided the ref was wrong??

in which case they need follow NFL challenge rule.....ie........to be overturned there must be IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE.

A SL Player?
