We just appealed in the heat of the moment, presumably.

I think the worst thing about this is the lack of apology or statement by Tony Clubb, we all make mistakes and say things we regret in the heat of the moment and these have consequences, but the fact he hasn't either apologised publicly shows the type of man he is.

I suspect he will issue an apology today now that the outcome from the RFL is known. No doubt he was advised to remain quiet by his legal team until the outcome was known. The big question for me is what are Wigan as a club going to do about it considering the moral stance they took over J Tompkins

The RFL just can't help but shoot themselves in the foot, last night should have been a clear statement that we are a exclusive sport which is something that RL prides its self on. However to give the minimum ban, a measly fine and even worse claiming how good of a character he is just stinks and goes against every value that the sport holds dear.

On the game, I see Sneyd picked up a man of Steele point, now I haven't watched the game again, but for me he wouldn't have been in my top 8 Hull players, nevermind top 3 of both teams.
I've been disappointed with Sneyd the last few games, we know he isn't creative with the ball in hand or has a good running game, but his kicking (not goal kicking) has been off.

I know he might have knock and missing his partner, but we need more from him

Where is she? From Instagram she appears to be at home?

You sound like a stalker.

Was taking about Reynolds

If people want to take the position that it has nothing to do with the RFL because it is an independent hearing I completely agree but for me after all that has been said in support of Kick it out, Black Lives Matter etc via the governing body the least they could have done is appeal against the leniency of the ruling because for most people me included, the comparison between what happened at Wigan and grabbing someone in the balls is just not comparable.

... I'm not taking any sides, all parties are in a very difficult position, Wigan/Clubb have yet to make any statement. Maybe the RFL are waiting for them to respond? Even the full transcript of the hearing hasn't been made public yet. Who knows, but I'm sure the legal profession will be involved. I don't think Savelio's twittering before any charges had been made will have helped matters either way. The RFL tribunal regulations are very complex... https://www.rugby-league.com/flipbooks/ ... html#p=188

.................or at least distance themselves from the verdict.
the lack of a public apology is now becoming more offensive than the event itself.
