Our fate was sealed last week

Guilty BUT not punished. Wigan gained nothing from his misconduct and neither will Bradford. The currents bans are a joke. No consistency whatsoever.

Jim Comans single handedly changed rugby league in Australia by handing out lengthy suspensions. The RFL look for ways to avoid suspending players

It implies to me that they have given him benefit of the doubt with regard to the challenge but a caution with regard to technique.

Rob what actually happened if you read between the lines and something you argue against is that KC went in and said this will be my 400th game and I have never been sent off in my whole career. They sentimental old fools from the RFL said awwww KC is right, lets not suspend him even though he is guilty.

There's reading between the lines and there's reading between the lines whilst you're on LSD!

Rob I did not know you were on LSD



Seriously

99 times out of 100, if you are due to represent GB or appear in a major final, the suspension will be tailored to allow it.

I said YOU'RE on LSD
I have never, in my entire life, taken an illegal substance. I'm a good boy.

Perhaps based on your judgement over KC's challenge - you should take some every now and then

I see KFC will be pleading his case at Red Hall tomorrow - has he asked you to be there in his defence Rob?

From the fact that Pat was knocked out; I think that we can all agree that KFC made contact with Richards' head during the "challenge".

So had he broken Pat's cheek/jaw during the challenge - would he have deserved a ban Rob?

Depends which part of his arm made contact. I still think it was shoulder/upper arm, which is legal.
I'll be surprised if he gets banned.

GeoffN it isnt't legal to thrust your shoulder/upper arm into an opponents head. Not sure where you've got that from. :conf:


Rob, I'm not trying to patronise you but have you ever played a game of Rugby League? Anyone who has has been in the position of KC and I will openly admit I've gone in before as KC did and attempted to make contact with my opponents head. Similarly I have been on the receiving end of 1 or 2 aswell. I accept that it happens and there's no point in pretending is doesn't.

Was it not a real 'Cheap shot', coming it at third man when the tackle was already complete.
Now we know the outcome, I beggar to agree which is worse, careless tackle, wreckles tackle, or misconduct. Careless and wrecless could suggest accidental, misconduct doesnt to me. He should have got at least the same as the two KR lads, maybe because it is the Challenge Cup semi final, the RFL have crapped it.
