The HDM article is clearly wrong...

"the disciplinary process for the Good Friday games will not take place until Wednesday".

If they'd said that any punishment would not take effect until after Monday, then fair enough.

Offences normally get charged on a Monday then get reviewed on a Tuesday. I'm assuming the charges for good Friday were done yesterday, the Easter Monday offences will be charged on Tuesday then all will be reviewed and bans handed out on Wednesday?

I hope he does
Still cant see anything wrong with the tackle.The arms are high accross the chest but well below the chin and head.Its more of a chest to chest tackle rather than shoulder.
The player was up quickly and didnt need attention so there is no way he was hit on the head.

I don't think so.

The RFL website says.....

Following the Round 8 Betfred Super League games over Thursday and Good Friday, the Match Review Panel have issued the following penalties
Watts had until 11.00am on Tuesday, March 6 to challenge the Penalty Notice.

I've looked at it again and there is contact but still not sure it's a red and certainly does not warrant a game ban either given the near whole match off the field as punishment (as already mentioned by others).
Also penalising on outcome is a rubbish way to decide the severity of the penalty, just because a player gets up quickly doesn't mean that there wasn't a more heinous or reckless attempt than one that had a worse outcome but the attempt was just a careless action but with other unpredictable factors (like the Ellis crusher tackle last year which was BS) or incidental contact due to factors beyond physiological control - well unless you remove tackling from rugby completely.

I am confused about the ban. RFL website says penalty notices (effectively bans) come into force at midnight following their issue - I would assume that means he misses Monday. But with the RFL nothing is ever clear!

For me it was a needless 'hard' tackle that just wasnt needed at the time. Faraimo has been ted twice and knocked out previously so you'd think that would make him think a little yet then tries to go in hard on someone even though it doesnt seem to be part of his game so imo deserves what he gets for basically being a bit stupid

Oh and it was another needless sending off for us that are becoming a bit of a joke tbh.

All tackles should be as 'hard', as the laws of the game permit.
The only problem with this tackle was that it was on TV, and as I have said, on that other forum, the only reason this one was penalised was because there was an opportunity to replay it countless times. Neither of the officials on the pitch, who were both within metres of it saw anything wrong, and play would have continued had Tv replays not been available.

100% correct, if the referee doesn't ask the video ref to check then they shouldn't get involved. If we want two referee's, put them on the pitch. It's getting like a computer game!

19 tries scored in 23 games? Not a bad return for a first season.

His record stand up well against our wingers in recent years. Hopefully he can get that 20th try. He's played 25 games but obviously never made it past the 10th minute in two of them.

Others wingers in the last fifteen years or so

Lineham 26 tries in 24 games 2015
Briscoe 22 in 30 2012
Blacklock 22 in 30 2005
Briscoe 21 in 31 2011
Best 21 in 31 2003

He's gone well, a few things to work on defensively, but i appreciate we havent been on top in the forwards and he's had a few different centre partners, its not been easy defensively

Oh for sure. His positioning does look a bit, er, random at times notwithstanding injuries to Griffin, Carlos, Connor, Logan etc. Decent enough return with the ball though to say our creativity's been sub par.

One thing that stands out for me is his willingness to do the hard yards ala Tuli. It gives the forwards that little breather that they need. Overall I think he's been a great signing.

I agree Hessle Roader, as long as he doesn’t drop the ball on the first tackle return, as he did one set after the other in our 25 against Cas.
But overall he’s been good in a season we’re we have been on the back foot.
