Danny had a great game yesterday, he was really fired up all game. It must be hard to control your feelings when a jumped up ex-linesman is giving it the big ‘I am’.

If Brough had been the captain, would he have been allowed to question the decision?

Surely he wont get more than three matches?

maybe so, but not with the effing and jeffing included

Do you think Brough got sent off just for questioning a decision? A straight red indicates it was foul/abusive and I'm guessing if Demetriou questioned the officials in a similar manner you could expect the same outcome.

I can't read the guide to the disciplinary process here

So, basically, they can still give him any sanction they want to, despite what they charge him with.

No mention of any other Wakefield players being charged this week.

What if Brough claims he deliberately aimed an insult at the touch judge but unintentionally aimed for his ears therefore it was accidental? Might see him get off with a warning letter/formal caution.

Captains are allowed to discuss decisions with the referee.

Wasn't the Korki tackle & subsequent tiff put on report?

Depending on what was said, 2 matches I reckon.

Must be no charge or no case to answer. The press release only includes the charges/cautions/warning letters.

Yes they are, but I don’t think that gives them free reign to use foul and abusive language to the official.

Fair do, I thought they normally stated those ones as well.

It should make it onto the RFL website at some point.



Aren't they, in theory, only allowed to ask the ref (respectfully) to explain their decision?

Yeah, I suppose questioning was the wrong word.
