This was from the RFL site (for Blair):

Early Guilty Plea offered and accepted. 1 match suspension.

He has used his EGP and will be out of the Cas game, which by all accounts he was going to miss with a groin injury anyway. Shame about him not being available though as he had been excellent in this little mini-run we have been on.

Where has this been confirmed?

On rl disiplinary panel site.

All I can see is that the penalty is NFA to 1 game nothing about the outcome.

Says nfa-1 now only saw nfa last time. Maybe wishful thinking! !

But you're still free to contest the charge and you're not obliged to use an EGP.

There's just the strong temptation to play the system, even if you think you're innocent. Because being honest, 'you' feeling the RFL have it wrong isn't the most rational basis to plead not guilty - it's more what you think they'll think. So, it becomes a bit of a game.

Quite agree MR, it's like magistrates court, a good friend of mine is on the bench and because people are given stricter sentences if they plead not guilty, they generally all plead guilty, he said he has sat there on the bench thinking the weight of evidence was in the defendants favour yet they're too afraid to chance it and risk a higher penalty, so I assume the rational would be the same with Red Hall.

Did chase get done for crippling ferres?

I suspect they haven't finished reading out the rap sheet yet when considering his previous good character.

In case you haven't picked up the news yet from Red Hall, Mitch Allgood has been found not guilty by the RFL disciplinary panel on his Grade A charge following the derby game. Confirmation is on the HKR website twitter feed.

Allgood is free to play against Cas.

Good news!

They could still be at it now. It'll be like the Eli Wallach hanging scene in The Good The Bad and The Ugly....

He's copped a 7 match ban. Shame it won't be a game against us.

Chase & his mate Hauraki (4 matches) can have nice holiday together now. Pair of thugs
