Crikey, didn't know he was on the disciplinary panel.
A bit partisan me thinks :eusa16:
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
I look at the figures and the panel and they are all 'nice boys' IMO who will never make difficult decisions.
Today was Ikram Butt and Neil Turley
Turley as brother to a current match officials should not sit on a panel IMO. Here is the rota for the next few panels;
Tues 2nd Aug R Grant I Butt N Turley
Weds 3rd Aug (A) J Spencer J Wells G Hallas
Tues 9th Aug J Spencer J Wells I Butt
Weds 10th Aug (A) P Charlesworth R Bridge N McAvoy
Tues 16th Aug P Charlesworth R Bridge N McAvoy
Weds 17th Aug (A) R Grant J Hamer W George
Tues 23rd Aug R Grant J Hamer W George
Weds 24th Aug (A) L Hull N McAvoy G Hallas
Weds 31st Aug L Hull N McAvoy G Hallas

What does "NFA" mean?
When I first read this Josie I thought you were being cynical until I went on to the RFL website.
Not one Hull player cited eh?
Some of the charges make you wonder what sort of game we are playing - tiddly winks??
And, what about all the head injuries our lads copped. How did those happen? An act of God?

Now I'm fuming :devi:

Dangerous throw Grade A
NFA :conf:
Did I not tell you what the outcome would be? How on earth could they possibly ban him when in mitigation he probably told them that the opposing player dove head first into the turf in order to ensure that his mate who plays for Wigan would have an unfair advantage if they where to ban him from the semi's.Also that big bulging brown envelope sticking from his pocket probably helped them conclude that the other player did indeed dive into the turf in a desperate act to deny stains a play maker. The panel would have been seen as not to be doing justice to rugby league if it where to make an adverse decision. And that in conclusion the offending player was to receive a 5 match ban and fined £3000. And in conclusion James Roby is to be knighted forthwith.
The "NFA - 1" showing on the RFL disciplinary page against Roby's name is the "Range of Recommended Sanctions in relation to Charged Grade". I don't think he's been let off yet - that will happen later this evening when the committee will apologise to him for the inconvenience.
