Long's ban reduced...

... by a day, so that he can face Bradford. I wonder how much Sky had in the RFLs decision?

Absolute $h**e that.
What's the point in giving a ban and then reducing it anyway?
I'm not over exaggerating or owt (:)) but it's exactly the same as someone getting life in prison and being released 1 day later...

It's giving them a bigger chance of making the final now though, Long might not be match fit but he'll be training with the team. Let's hope he gets completely flattened that match

that is disgraceful, wasn`t there a piece in some newspaper the other day?? comment from the RFL about, not letting a prisoner out at 10 pm if he is due to be released at 12.. or some stupid phrase..

soon changed there minds there!!

Be a bit smelly though by then - a day earlier might be better.

One rule for them, one for us. Maybe we should have tried to get Newton's ban reduced because he could have played in a darts match for one of his games, and they didn't specify two rugby games.

Apparently it hasnt been reduced just the decision when the ban ends has been changed so it ends at midnight that day which allows him to play

There's been a lengthy discussion about this on another board. The fact is, he has not served a full 3 months since the ban was issued (even if only by a few hours). Time off for good behaviour?

Robjoenz, got there in the end then, but falling further behind the old folks pin up
