He was banned for one match for the same offence in April so he will have got a bigger ban this time due to that so unless the other players are in the same boat you can't compare.
My comment was not about what Dudson got, but about others players doing the same on Wigan players and no punishment given by the same so called inconsistent committee.
It's not inconsistent and I would thought it obvious why other players got different tariffs.
Unlike Dudson they won't have committed the same offence previously so will get a lesser ban for a first offence or will have been able to take an early guilty plea as markill pointed out - an option not available to Dudson.
If Dudson does another shoulder charge expect the maximum ban to be imposed while at the same time other players will be given a couple of matches.

There have been many shoulder charges this season by many different players. Some players commiting more than 1 throughout the season that have been completely ignored, that is inconsistency!!

A big prop is Dudson but his work-rate and tackling have plenty to improve upon and I'm not sure going to Salford would ever see that happen. A career ender if this happens for Dudson. Lower leagues level for him when his (alleged) stint at Salford ends
Work rate may be an issue. 18 tackles per game is a little below what we get from likes of Flower and Mossop - only Pettybourne of our props is lower. 8 carries per game, only Sutton of props has had less. Fitness has seems a problem when he spends spells out of the side and in off-season so he doesn't maybe play the same minutes as others like Taylor and Flower.
His defence when he is playing is good though in terms of tackle success, 97% s far on the season. Thats in and around what we're getting from Taylor and Flower. Only 2 handling errors in 7 games is good too. I'm not ready to write him off but may suffer from younger guys coming up if we're trying to fit 6 first team props under the cap like we've needed to this year.
Stats are ok but if you look at his "lazy" tackles that cost penalties then I am sure he is one of the worst offenders for that

The bad news is he's just copped a three match ban.
His attitude is poor and he is a banker for a penalty give away in every game.
Some players need an edge to their game but with Dudson it is a step too far.
You could add MM's name to your last comment.The way Williams is playing I'd say MM should join the list of players going to Salford Williams would make a far better Dummy Half tham MM,[rehaps not a better 'Dummy' though TBW

Is Micky Mac too physical a booker for your liking jim or is it that he is not a clever or fast enough player at scooting from dummy half.
With Mac and George both fit I think you would be pushed to find a much better hooker pairing.
