Does a charge just go on the officials report or do they use video,because like you say,I didn't see o meley do a thing?

Nothing on the RFL site. Not surprised mind you...

Four players have been charged with punching by the RFL during Friday's Super League game between Hull and Castleford.

Hull's Mark O'Meley and Danny Tickle and Castleford pair Justin Carney and Weller Hauraki were all involved in an ugly fracas during the second half of the Airlie Bird's comprehensive 52-0 win at the KC Stadium.


Referee Steve Ganson sent off Tickle and Hauraki and sin-binned Carney and O'Meley, and all four could now face further punishment.

Hauraki, Carney and Tickle have until 11am on Tuesday to submit early guilty pleas, while O'Meley will appear before an RFL Disciplinary Committee later that evening.

where can you see the highlights?

I just put Hull FC Castleford in that video sharing site & it came up mate, or Super League Show tonight but doubt they'll have the fight in the highlights

Can't see O'Meley do any punching, he should be okay.

Surprised Watts wasn't called up for laughing.

O Meley clearly trying to separate players not running in at all. Whether that changed off camera when the madman started whirling who knows.

Watching that, I would get Tickle to take early guilty and cop 1 match. O'Meley should argue his case - no evidence to suggest he did any wrong doing - but I guess it depends on the MO's reports.

It's ridiculous really tickle fair enough early guilty plea 1 match ban but o mealy doesn't swing any punches as far as I can see, he's a better man than me cos I'd of given carney a fair share back if I was him and it's a disgrace that chase isn't up surely the touch judge saw it!!

Did anyone notice in the video, Holdsworth standing back from the affray, and holding his head with both hands?

Yeah I saw that too.

Holdsworth just missed two weeks with a concussion, he is hardly going to want to risk another whack to the head.

Yep - looked at it a few times thought it might have been Horne at one time but clearly looked a bit distressed by it all.
