The charge was for a reckless tackle with the shoulder.

Pleading guilty says, I did make a reckless tackle with the shoulder....but....

If he felt he was not reckless then he should have plead not guilty.

Its done...time to move on now

It's been like that as long as I can remember mate. It was just about the first thing I noticed when I started following the sport.

I'll wait on the full details before making a final comment but on the face of it the club's cocked up here as well.

And that's why it will never get better.

what do you suggest?

It looks that way. I'm shocked about the guilty plea.

You would be, you, Kosh and Robbo4 have made complete numpties of yourselves over on the VT

Would he have been supported/advised by McCrae??. An advised stupid plea of guilty was playing into the RFL's hands, how on earth does he/they think that they would go against the refs decision and reports, incredible stupidity on behalf of the club....seems we are no better organised and up to speed in the back offices that we thought we would be after the clearout.

Oooops....

If Rinaldi(spelt wrong) had just got up from the challenge do you think he would of been sent off? I dont, i think with him being knocked out it went against Moa.

Maybe, but he's right this time

I'd like to see the club question the way that the Red Card decision was made , ie , it wasn't Silverwood or his TJ's , and raise the whole issue of televised games where we have a video referee and consistency in general. Sam would almost certainly have stayed on the pitch had the game not been on Sky. He's effectively got a match and a quarter ban because of that. Had we gone on to lose the game the cost of us being on Sky would have been huge. The game selection by Sky , London , and the timing , 5.45 on a cold Sunday in February already must have cost the club a fair bit in revenue. The loss of 2 points on top of a short turn around to the next game and the RFL and Sky would have really screwed us over.
The problem is that if those questions were asked there'd be no answers forthcoming. There never are , it would just be "it evens itself out through the season". See apologists in chief Clark , Stevenson and Hemmings. The RFL make cock up after cock up , are in cahoots with "the big four" and answer to no one. There's no wonder the game is stuck where it is.

Possibly the biggest knob on the whole site and considering who he is up against that is some serious knobage.
