Disciplinary

[josie andrews]

Hiku has appealed & won his appeal without any game bans he is free to play for NZ

Not heard anything yet on Thompson’s appeal

[fozzie58]

I really don’t think the sport as a whole can afford to let players back on if they’ve failed their HIA so while I really think he looked shook up I don’t doubt he passed the assessment.

And good news about Hiku

Thompson appeal unsuccessful. Misses first England match.

Fecking stinks yet Burgess gets nowt!!

[Wiganer Ted]

Ridiculous, just a push. The ref said an attempted tackle but late.
The whole disciplinary set up brings itself into disrepute.

[Wintergreen]

There really was nothing in the Luke Thompson challenge. Nothing.

RFL are a joke, but of course we knew that anyway.

Clowns.

[fozzie58]

Yes they really do like shooting the national team in the foot don’t they they really aren’t fit for purpose

[M6 Warrior]

The RFL really needs to take a serious look at this bunch of clowns. Panel decisions are often nonsensical and fans of all clubs are incensed on a regular basis. It’s a tough sport and big contacts happen but to ban a proper professional who plays hard but fair for a simple push, is completely ridiculous.

Burgess not even looked at for punching a player in the face as he’s lying on the ground and Luke gets a one game ban for a push. Heaven help us. When are they sending out the next fan satisfaction survey?

Nice and easy. The entire MRP needs to be shown the door. I sat in front of the incident on Saturday and still can't understand why the Hull KR player was even charged, let alone Burgess not charged for a cowardly 'David Hulme type third man in'.
Thompson of course is just the usual RL garbage for nothing more than a push - but it was a Wigan player.

In these sort of decisions is there any comeback - in other words 'Who checks the checker?'

Its even more Monty Python on Hiku, this was their own rule (the rule is correct in my view and they boxed themselves in with 3-5 games for it) that they have just trashed....then compound it by banning for a late push....will we see that every week now?
