Nowhere near as bad as the JJB effort on Graham and he only got one match. Seems the punishment, or lack of (i.e. a formal caution), was consistent which is a first for the RFL disciplinary.

Interesting to note no penalty awarded against Tomkins by the VR for knees in the back of Welham, yet the disciplinary panel seem to think differently judging from the formal caution issued.

It begs the question what the hell a formal caution means. It's hardly a big dterrent to foul play.

Which effectively would have been no ban anyway as the friendly with Hull in January would have counted.

Of course this would have gone on his record , but to be honest I don't think that means a great deal.

Are you suggesting that there are unscrupulous goings on at the RFL?

Maybe I should have added a to the end of that post.

Would the lack of actual game count?
