Totally agree. Watched the game for over 50 years and am getting to the point where I no longer enjoy going when you see who the match official is. Gone are the days of a 'neutral' referee. You can see this in games that do not involve Wakefield as well.

Is the RFL disciplinary panel made up of ex players. If so, they will nail their colours to the flag so to speak.

The system needs a complete overhaul, maybe bringing in people with a legal head that is from outside of the sport.

What Scott Moore did was nothing compared to what Wilkin did, and it isn't just our team that is copping it. In the Warrington v Hull KR game, Jordan Cox and James Green were having a little bit of a set to, yet I believe only James Green walked.

Someone should Twitter message Peter Smith at YEP and Martyn Sadler at League Express as there is a story here covering the bizarre inconsistent disciplinary measures that takes place at the RFL. Giving examples such as the Wilkin/England and Cox/Green incidents amongst a long list of others.....

David Fifita throwing the ball at JJB and he was binned by Childs Last week at the Hudd V Hull game don't know who it was but a player threw the ball at a players head and nothing was said about it. Questions need asking either by the club or by the press.

DISCIPLINE: Anthony England (Wakefield) pleads guilty to Grade B Shoulder Charge (v St Helens). 2 game ban £300 fine

Theyre beyond a joke.

I dont condone violent play but it makes you think when you are up against cheats like Wilkin and they do what he did it makes you wish tge hit on him was so hard he doesnt get up again during the game

I think they have a pool, from which three sit. I saw some list a couple of weeks back which told you who it was each week, and thought at the time, 'D. Sculthorpe, there is a name that doesn't give you confidence'.

We won't be allowed to get to the final. Anyone remember the blatant cheating of silverwood in our last semi? Those who come on here criticising people like me for for pointing out the bent officials need to wake up and smell the coffee. The game is bent and we just put up with it . I am convinced that officials are sent out with rfl instructions ringing in their ears and it would take a really surgical argument to convince me otherwise . And that goes for the disciplinary panel as well. How many times have the likes of peacock and o'loughin been looked at and never banned?

Agree totally not much to add to that. I hope Wilkins is proud of himself, pity England didn't hit him harder.

There was a much bigger and later hit in the Catalan game on car ey, think it was Ben flower, first contact was shoulder to head, I can't believe that has gone unnoticed, that on wilkin on Sunday, well I've had harder poohs than that, if that is worth 2 games then the game has gone soft

After Saints match Chester confirmed that England had ` done his shoulder `. The likelihood is that he will be out injured more at least two weeks, so best route for club was for player to admit guilt , take the two matches and get fit for the cas match which I think will be a must win, avoiding the bottom four is vitally important. With regards to Wilkin he should be banned for acting injured in an attempt to get a player sent off and also banned for jumping to his feet like Lazurus in order to throw punches. That said I am pleased he has walked away Scott free as it means he can play against sides that we need Saints to beat.

I'm sorry but England getting a ban is not a joke at all.
He was clearly late and did a shoulder charge.
He should know better than that.

Wilkin was an idiot but was clever enough not to get caught. I wasn't that close but he was all arms flailing without actually punching.

It's no good after the fact pleading innocence because someone else was worse. That's their issue. We are going to cop it if we don't improve our discipline simply as that.

We can't afford to miss players through petty bans or even sin bins.
Kirmond tripping, laying on in tackles, throwing the ball at someone. None of them are necessary.
I actually feel for Moore with his Widnes bans because at least he was caught in the moment and adrenaline took over when he saw his mate being assaulted.
But he needs to watch his tackle techniques too. He's our best defender and best at getting the team moving forward. We can't give the disciplinary an excuse as he has form upon form and the pick him out to look at every week.

Funny that isn't it, every man and his dog saw that he was clearly faking injury by the way he jumped up and started flaying into England, not clever just a cheat.
And don't forget this guy is the face of RL on the BBC.

i know England wasn't getting as much game time at Warrington as he is at Wakefield but did he get hammered as much over when he played for Wire??????
