You are pretty much spot on here Kirmudgeonly.

I have said before on here that if a coach or a chairman has any gripe with either a referee, or the MRP, then with freedom of speech, there should be no reason as to why a team can't lodge an official complaint without the risk of a fine.

Maybe to do it in writing rather than a rant after the game, or on social media.

At the end of the day, liveliehoods, and player welfare is at stake

Brad Moules? he's a 9. That would be some game to be thrown into on Sunday and possibly the semi. Was impressed with him when I've seen him though

Give over, SOL isn't a nice guy he's been a cheap shot merchant all his career. As for Moore, again give over he's no worse than the rest, why should he have to modify his game to suit the RFL bottlers. There is being reasonable Pops and just plain appeasing!



Is there any footage?

How very true Vasty, that was my next post, he's been getting away with cheap shots for years more noticeable now he's getting on

Exactly. Makes it even harder to swallow when such as Moore get picked up for every misdemeanour.

Having just seen that footage, it's a penalty, end of. If that is a disciplinary case then every head high tackle is and if he gets a ban then every single head high shot should be. I what world do they live if they think blokes playing a damn hard physical game are not going to get a tackle wrong from time to time in 30 degree heat having just put in a massive shift as we had been on the back foot for 20 minutes. They played the game. It is funny the understanding they gave O'Loughlin for what looked like a deliberate intention to injure to me, yet they call this in for what looks like a clumsy challenge. As I say, every head high tackle = a ban if this is the case. Is this what we want for the game? Scores of players out on bans? Though I am giving them more fairness than it's due to be honest. It is bent and we know it is. Who do they think they are kidding. If Moore gets any kind of a ban, especially one that keeps him out of the semi, then I will attend games at Wakefield as I won't let the club suffer, I won't cut my own nose off and not go to the semi or final should we get there, but I will attend no RFL events of any kind ever again until this fiasco is sorted out and I would urge all fans of all clubs to do the same until it is. Only empty grounds for internationals and Grand Finals will make them listen. I am serious. I have heard this off the fans of many clubs. It is not just us. It is time for big demonstrations and action. I can't support a game that is so blatantly bent any more

Penalty? - yes. Ban? - no.

I did not tape the game but as I remember is it the one where he sort of comes from behind and tackles him over the shoulder. If so like you say, every head shot in the game should be given a match ban. This is totally ridiculous

See worse than that every week on the televised games. Moore must be totally ticked off

Not sure how it all works but it says grade A 0 to 1 game. No guilty plea available. Unless you get extra for pleading not guilty he may as well fight this one as he is going to get a one game ban in any event.
