It's about time the club owners got there heads together and sat down with the rfl regarding the displinary panel. It's a total joke .Every time a player is up its a lottery. At worst watts tackle was a penalty. I originally thought he'd been shown yellow and was fuming so was going mental when relised it was red and now this. It's a contact sport so your going to get these unfortunate incidents but the refs seem to think a player can't be injured without someone being to blame. I'd love to see the club make a stand and appeal but how the hell can you risk the morons at red hall not increasing it. Probably one of the reasons they getaway doing what they like as no club dare take them on

Makes our sport a laughing stock.

No option but to use Masi at Widnes

Bent.

I think we should.All the video and still photo evidence points to not guilty.
There is a still photo on here that clearly shows Watt's arm is at his side and Gale's head is at the level of his top leg at impact.

What a joke...

Not a big surprise, the disciplinary has no consistency at all, I really hope we appeal.

Makes Widnes tough without Manu, Taylor and Watts, that's without no other injuries.

How long do we have to appeal? We really need, I just can't see how they've come up with this result.

Likely to extend it IMO if we appeal.

Sending off wasn't sufficient - we still won the game.

Ridiculous decision.

I don't think we have ever won one of these when Grahame Hallas has been on the panel!

Can they extend it, if it is already at the maximum for the grade?

And we wonder why fans of most clubs have no faith in the clowns at Red Hall. The only person I've heard agree it was a red card was Gary Schofield on Radio Yorkshire on Monday night. I've not spoken to anyone who thinks it wasn't harsh, and most of us on casforum think it was harsh aswell. Should have been 'no further action, sorry for being idiots'! Ridiculous decision. If most of the opposition fans, the player involved, and the coach thought Watts was hard done by then what incident were the panel watching?? It's Hicks that should have picked up a ban for trying to impersonate a referee! Absolute garbage for both teams, he doesn't know what he's doing! And we have the idiot again this Saturday against Wigan!
