Disciplinary from Vegas

[fozzie58]

It was accidental at the worst but let’s be fair this time last year Byrne would have Webb banned till October so common sense is prevailing it seems

Liam Byrne no charge

I just read he got a Grade A = 1 point.

Sorry, I should have put the complete listing.

Liam Byrne (Wigan Warriors) – Opposition: Warrington Wolves – Grade A Dangerous Contact – Not applicable – Penalty Points: 1 – Total Penalty Points: 1.

Why is everything so complicated

Maybe its one point for getting put on report, guilty or not!

The heading of the table stated "Fine or ban", and his entry is "Not applicable" because he's not over 5 points. I believe all carry over points were dropped after complaints by clubs. So everyone started on a clean sheet this season.

I’ve just read an article about the incident where Sam Burgess says that Firzgibbon couldn’t finish the game because of his "injury" from the "crusher tackle" from Byrne.

I’m going to watch the game again, a good excuse,

I’m sure he continued playing after that incident & I still say if he was so badly injured at the time why didn’t he go off the field for a HIA!

That sounds reasonable, Mike, I'd like to understand what it means - the system isn't transparent (yet).
To complicate things the points table has a column - "Total Penalty Points are Total Points in previous 12 months."

I think it will become clearer when the details of each case are published (should be soon, last weeks are here https://www.rugby-league.com/governance ... nary-cases)

Ah, apologies - the further details are published only if fines/bans are levied I think.

They’re, the Rugby League governing body, are terrible in updating the disciplinary details!

He did carry on playing for quite a while.

And when he went off he was having treatment for his thigh and was holding his ribs.

that'll be the force from the crusher tackle - Byrne crumpled him like a tin can, so his leg and ribs were buggered too
