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.

Maybe you need to check who actually made the statement on the outcome...

| 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

The RFL are the governing body of the sport and have had every opportunity following the hearing be it independent or otherwise to make a clear statement on the game stance on this subject. The buck stops with them and it is not unreasonable for the RFL to be able to discuss the outcome of the hearing and deem that such a lenient view with the minimum punishment for this offence being applied is not acceptable for the good of the game and set a suitable one.
The whole situation is a complete farce and basically says as long as its said in the heat of the moment its just a little bit naughty and OK no harm done.
The RFL have simply yet again ducked out a tough situation and to say the RFL are not to blame is for me wrong as they are and should be wholly accountable as a governing body. I would have thought a joint statement or at least some form of statement from the governing body alongside the one from the tribunal.
So for me I agree that the RFL has once again shot itself in the foot and made a mockery of the sport itself and their whole anti racism campaign because as soon as they have to act they fall short and bottle it.

If my memory serves me correctly I think Guy Kearl, defended one of the great train robbers as well, in a very famous case. Ronnie Biggs I think.
And later as a QC he actually sentenced the infamous Charles Bronson, Bronson, who was a notorious criminal, said to Judge Guy Kearl, as he waited for his sentence, “can you get those wigs in black”

You might want to check who the governing body of the sport is.....

Literally nothing in the post spoke about Reynolds, it was all Sneyd, so wondered if I hadn't checked my Instagram for a few days

| 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...

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

| ...........no direct mention or apology to the player at the centre of this. A player who was visibly upset both during and after the game.
To me it looks like the only player who's wellbeing is being considered is that of the offender and not the victim.
