The RFL know they messed up with Harry Brown last week and will know the sending off of Nu Brown was wrong too. It ruined last nights match and the all the media and fans are now talking about cards and bans, instead of the matches.'"
But Liam Moore said,”direct and forceful contact to the head with no mitigation “ The RFL have set the standards and they’re just bloody minded enough carry it through. Think he’ll get a few games ban personally. The match revue commission will be pouring over the footage from this week’s games and dredging all sorts up.'"
The RFL, MRP and Officials have backed themselves into a corner and only have 3 options
1. Circle their wagons and double down and just add further insult to the sport & its stakeholders
2. Front up apologise for the mess and be honest admit they’ve dropped an almighty clanger and put things right.
3. Just bury their head in the sand, ignore the issue, quietly give no further bans, sweeping it under the carpet in the hope it’ll go away.
Chances are we’ll either see option 1 or 3 either way the action taken will be to cover their own backs rather than what’s best for the sport.
