It's late but look at this image

First contact is shoulder so I'm not sure how such a large ban can be justified.

Agreed.

The disciplinary panel needs to be more CONSISTENT (I'm sick to death of that word, we hear it every week because seemingly nobody in the game knows what it means). If Chase's elbow/forearm putting a semi-pro player out of work for a few months is a 3 game ban, then McIlorum deserves 1 at most.

Yes it has, but who's fault is that?

Ridiculous.

Ganson must be guest of honour in st Helen's tonight I just hope he doesn't pass any old ladies on his drive home.

People seem to be ignoring the the fact it was at the upper end of the scale because he's got previous this season.

Had Wilkin done that to Tomkins some of the people questioning the punishment would be donning black caps.

Not wrong

Comical reactions from the ancient and loyal.

3 games for that challenge is an absolute farce. Please people, dont try and justify the disciplinary actions by approving of that punishment.

Absolute joke

I know what you are saying Andy, but he threw one punch.

If everyone had had thrown a punch this year received a ban then fair enough. If those people had also received a red for a a high shot and then been given 3 matches, again fair enough.

Trouble is they have not.

Punches a go go in the wakey match last weekend and zero action. Perry smacking Lima across the Melon and no charge, Challenge cup final punch thrown, again no charge.

Its the inconsistencies that gripe

Correct

Any appeal is outrageous. He is bang to rights. The tackle was late, off the ball and maliciously high. What exactly is the basis of any appeal? The ban should be increased and Wane should be fined for his comments.

I accept some of the disciplinary panels decisions are baffling but nobody with any common sense can honestly say that in this case the punishment is not spot on.

What is your opinion of Perry's late flop on Lima?

Equally malicious and far more dangerous.

He hasn't been done for a punch though, he's been done for a reckless high tackle when Laffranchi's back was turned. It was a cowardly shot and he's got what he deserved given he's already been in trouble with the disciplinary this season. His mindless action could cost us the title this season.

Is this one any different - www.therfl.co.uk/disciplinary/item?3180 ? It's also on YouTube if anyone wants to take a look (UqtOnzCEa3M). IMO McGoldrick's looks a lot worse.

Why change the subject ?

He is lucky it was deemed reckless as its clearly intentional the consistancy is an issue however it is no justification for his actions and its not an excuse for a shorter ban. I have watched it a few times and it looks worse each time.

ask a non rl fan to watch it and ask how long the ban should be you will struggle to find people saying less than 4.
