It's a bloody ridiculous idea.

All it would mean is Ablett is missing from the next three Leeds v Wigan games, Wigan would still face 13 Leeds players, only Ablett would be missing. What would happen if he transferred, would his new club then be penalised?

If a player cops a three game ban for an incident in the GF, it could be two seasons until he completes the ban. Justice must be fair but also swift.

Totally, utterly barking.

Think it means only 1 game against Wigan, the other 2 would be his next 2 games whoever they may be against

So he'd still be free to play until he played Wigan again?

Barking!

And if he moved to another club they'd be penalised too

Can't imagine why RL has never taken off

Will you please stop calling the pitch an island.
They are not usually surrounded by water.
Must we follow the aussies in everything related to our game.
Big unit, the island the sheds

well ablett lost his appeal .......

Imo Bailey is one of the dirtiest players I have seen.. he's the type of player that people who don't like RL say "its a game played by thugs" fulfills the stereotype.
Abletts challenge to me could've been avoided and well done to tomkins for shaking it off but this rule change would be ridiculous.

the problem is Ablett lost his appeal, but it cost him £200, he should have had the ban doubled because of a frivolous appeal, that might make cheats like him think twice.

completely agree, wasting time so should have had his fine doubled at least imo.

Couldn't agree more, he should have had at the very least one extra game as a penalty and an extra £500 fine.

A reckless challenge yes & deserving of the extra fine & possibly a game added on for good measure, but a cheat what is that in relation to?

Justice done !!

Haven't they started doing that in Football, not doubling the ban but adding a game if the appeal is deemed as frivolous. Sure Rio Ferdinand had that happen at the end of last season.
