Re: Liam Farrell: Charged with Grade B

What annoys me is that every match, a number of our players are cited for foul offences against opposing players, but very few are cited for foul offences on our players.

In the game against Leeds, Charnley was turned upside down by Leeds players and could have landed on his neck, but no action was taken.

The disciplinary system like the Refereeing is too inconsistent, but I suspect the reason for it is simply the fact that there is never the same people making the decisions as they are on a rota system.

Lucky it wasn't a red card. Brain fart of the highest order.

It was foul play. But it's very much unusual for the same action to be given as an 8 point try. It should be given more than it is probably.

But charging him for something no one else is ever charged with is rubbish. He's been punished by the 8 point try.

I saw it in real time. It was late and intentional, no doubt. If it had been against us we'd have been livid.

My only complaint about the 8 point try was that it was *so* late that I didn't think it should be a foul "in the act of scoring". It was after the try was scored therefore can't be a penalty.

I see Faz is.taking some flak on the Warri and Rhino boards.Could this be the same people who worshipped Les Boyd,and latterly Westwood.Selective memories.As for the Rhinos fans,well it takes their mind off other things.

It was deliberate IMO but retaliation for Menfredi being attacked by two Wire players as he score. Later, on his hat trick try, Manfredi was left nursing his head after being attacked on the head; which is worse?

I then watched all the try from the very day on the SL Show and there were several players guilty of going with their legs/feet at try scorers. Not a problem with punishing Faz but you then have to do likewise YET oddly the RL immediately fails to. So it is indeed a joke.

I haven't seen those yet. But, honestly, were they as late as Farrell's? He started his dive after the ball was down.
