Hastings banned

[Oldprop]

Hastings banned for Lifting injured player in 10th minute, also cited for use of elbow and two separate incidents of alleged head butts.

Beginning to suspect head butting is being coached with the number of citings and suspensions we have received.

We need another fullback

No! I mean what does “ other contrary behaviour mean?”

He picked up an injured player in the 10th minute. You have to read the full panel notes to find out what it means.

Another joke decision from the rugby league,and they wonder why supporters are not going to matches,how on earth can a player be banned when the incident was not even put on report.The game is being made a joke both by the powers that be and the panel who have nothing else to do but scrutinise any match that has been played,they are spoiling our great game.

Good job the injured player didn't have a spinal injury eh suzie?

[Suzieb]

Don't talk stupid jones milked it and it worked,watch the game will you.

[Caboosegg]

Not that I wish Covid on anyone but we could really do with 7 players needing to isolate right now.

[First Try Tickle]

Surely he has to play Hanley there, Marshall had a stinker at Wakey.

I though Hanley looked good on Sunday, good kick returns and looked like breaking the line a couple of times.

[Suzieb]

Play handley at full back,Halsall or Bibby at centre or wing ,tommy and Smith at half back if Tommy is fit ,if not play shorrocks at 6 with smith at 7.

Dufty it is then . Hopefully, Hanley will now get a gig

Alleged head butts? He either head butted a player or he didn't! If he did why wasn't he just banned for that there and then? If he was not found to have head butted a player than surely the allegation is false and it should not count in this totting up of grade A citing's.

What sort of logic results in bans for an alleged offense?

EDIT: Just checked the disciplinary page myself and it says no-charge for either alleged head butt saying he didn't do so in either case.

Begs the question though who brought the alleged head buts up before the disciplinary? He wasn't on report for either so which Muppet decided he head butted someone when he didn't?

The disciplinary reads for one:

Incident:
Headbutt in the 52nd minute

Decision:
No charge

Charge Detail:
Player shrugs backwards to get opponent off. No contact with head of opponent.

A complete contradiction!

Same for the other

Incident:
Headbutt in the 79th minute

Decision:
No charge

Charge Detail:
Player is in a man to man confrontation with opponent. Footage does not show headbutt.
