Regarding the Fash incident, going on what Adrian Lam said about the Clifford/Charney incident, unfortunately these things happen unintentionally. So should be the same punishment..Grade B, no ban and £250 fine

Agreed, exactly the same scenario.

Indeed and this is were the lack of consistency comes in with regards to the MRP. It’s not like Fash is known as a dirty player or has previous for anything similar either.

If it turns out that Griffin didn't abuse him.
I hope we appeal like Wigan did when Kendall red carded Bateman for alleged abusive language towards him in 2021.

Kendall got dropped for that.

Wigan showing how to do it with 12.....
Warrington have been dire.
No wonder we beat them at Magic.

Some effort from Wigan. I hope they go on and win it.

Well, at least the semi........

The wheels are well and truly falling of the wolfy wagon

I honestley dont get why people are getting there knickers in a twist over it. What they are saying Fash has done is physically impossible for him to do at that speed. Its a one in a million thing that happened and if Kendall had called held the incident wouldnt have happened anyway.

Just because he got KO doesnt mean he should be banned, are we going to start banning players when legs get trapped in a tackle next ? Or the players or tackled Taylor.

No malice whatsoever and a complete accident with momentum causing the incident to happen and Kendall letting a tackle go on longer then it needed to.

If anyone says Fash purposely smashed him is quite frankly, an idiot.

Agree with your post as unless Fash can undo the law of physics or somehow move his shoulder out the way then he can not be held responsible or be accused of intent. Both his arms appear to be trapped inbetween himself and Percival, even Percival is holding onto to Fash as they all go down.

If Fash does get banned then in affect any this means that any accidental contact with the head is a ban so any player clashing heads will see both players receive bans.

I fully accept the need to protect the welfare of players but finding reasons to ban players just because of an unfortunate outcome of a tackle would be crazy.

No doubt the MRP will be as inconsistent as ever and Fash will be missing come the end of the review.

There are so many errors in your version of events I can’t be bothered to point them all out.

But as far as the Griffin sending off this is what happened. After the hooter Griffin took out his mouth guard and walked towards Kendall. This wasn’t done in any aggressive way and he appears to point towards the big screen and a point on the pitch whilst saying something to Kendall. What I don’t know but then he turns away and starts to walk off. Kendall calls him back and shows him a yellow card. Griffin continues to walk off throwing his arms in the air and saying something. Again Kendall calls him back and shows the red. You make it sound like Griffin stood there arguing with him while Kendall told him to walk away which is just not correct.

Now I’m not trying to say what Griffin did shouldn’t be punished, and a big factor is what he actually said, but I just want consistency and we are seeing quite a few incidents where players argue decisions with referees and NEVER get punished. Dodd did it and nothing was said.

The only ones that know what was said are Griffin & Kendal as the touch judge wasn’t in ear shot as he was behind it all bent down picking the ball up with his back to everything. So unless the RFL have recording it’s difficult to know if the versions given by Griffin & Kendal differ which is the truth. If the touch judge says he heard it then I’d be very surprised as he must then have bionic hearing given the noise at the time.

The more you watch it I just don’t see that Griffin could have said enough to warrant the yellow unless it was pretty severe language. As for the red Griffin was already walking away so can only imagine Griffin was chuntering away to himself as he was walking away and Kendal misheard or misinterpreted this but even that is some feat at the speed Kendal got the red out.

When Carlos goes to speak to Kendal you can hear audio of Kendal seemingly say it’s dissent.

For all the ones saying Griffin has previous then he’s not alone as so does Kendal for mis hearing a player when he carded Bateman.

Yes Griffin should have known better but Kendal should have the skills to be able to handle and speak to frustrated players. Players and officials are all humans and as such are fallible.
