This is definitely true. The punishment handed down to Marchy would NEVER be inflicted on a coach in Super League. In light of Simon's statement, and the fact that he actually attended the hearing to give his account, I can't help but wonder what the burden of proof is in situations like this. It certainly can't be 'beyond reasonable doubt'.

Does anyone actually know exactly what our club has done to upset the RFL?

Showing our dislike for the Dulls probably

Unless I have misunderstood what has happened, Mr March got banned, as a player for abusing match officials,. I would think that the ban would include a comment about future conduct.
It appears that Mr March has done the same thing whilst under caution.
That is how I understand it.

This leads to at least 2 scenarios. Either Mr March doesn't listen or learn, alternatively the scenario is unique in happening and the punishment something no one has had to use before.

Or is it just a case of him being in the wrong place at the wrong time?

Did the ref actually see him say anything or just hear the remarks?

Does anyone know when the decision of the appeal panel be known?
