Because they're morons?

I know lets schedule a double round right at the back end of the season when all teams are knackered and/or busted AND we'll ban players too so its even harder.

He has a good chance of winning it as after the club having played 27 games he is one of only six players who have played more than 21 (along with Houghton, Satae, Lane, Lovadua and Brown).

Wonder if the disciplinary will be more lenient come the playoffs

Then they'll preach about player welfare when in reality they don't give a toss about the players unless it suits them.

What evens worse is the panel is made up of a number of people who should know better having played the game at a high level. Then again when you have Paul ‘The Cliche’ Cullen involved why is anyone surprised at the idiocy of the panel and their decisions.

It's bad enough teams (not just) Hull being weakened with injuries. But players missing games for that is making the game a lottery. It's robbing supporters of seeing the best players.

If it's clearly obvious that there's intent to injure another player than yes give them a ban. Most offences are down to tiredness or mistimed tackles. Fine the players don't ban them.

If you are going to referee Super League games twice then surely the Panel should include an impartial referee who can put forward contrary views when necessary.
The other change i would make is put the the responsibility for indiscipline for minor offences onto the players by fining them rather than punishing the club with a one or two game ban

Don't believe everything you see on twitter kids
