This case is an absolute disgrace. I've just read that the player Annakin , is liable to miss the next 3 months of the season, i.e. all of the remainder as a result of the attack to the head leading to a bad fall to the ground resulting in a serious leg injury. Where's the players welfare in all this ? I well remember back in the 80'swhen 'a bit of biff' was normal Les Boyd in Australia got 12 Months , yes 12 months for a very similar offence. It's not just the Disciplinary panel who need a root and branch clearout it's the RFL as their governance of our game in all aspects leaves a hell of a lot to be desired and if the club's chairmen/ owners don't start doing something about it we will be left in a relatively short time with no game to watch .

As I am sure you are aware, his knee injury was a direct result of SOL illegal challenge so making light of the matter is likely to be ill received on this board

Ill received, potentially, Ill intentioned, certainly not.

The knee injury being a [idirect[/i result of O'Loughlin's challenge is still up for debate.

No debate he had no control how he landed due to being unconscious as a result of SOL illegal challenge

Snowie implied before that it occurred when he attempted to sidestep O'Loughlin. That is my belief.

... and on that rather sad last post lets leave it here.

Interesting that some people don't like being called names when coming on other forums blatantly trolling.
Funny old world isn't it?
