I get where the RFL have gone with the head contact - like it or not, its here to stay.

Where I have issue is:

The Cooper sin bin - the player slipped, what could Cooper have done? Wasn't even a penalty imo
The Matt Dufty sin bin - Its a penalty, not a sin bin
The O Neil tackle - I cannot fathom this being a one match ban
The Matty Lees sin bin - not a sin bin at all for me
Havard head contact one - Its just accidental? Nothing malicious or reckless

I don't worry to much about disciplinary bias, not worth my energy.

Excellent summary Lucky 13, everything you highlighted was spot on. The punishment dished out is so inconsistent, it's infuriating at times.
From a Wigan point of view with what's gone on before you do wonder who is next and for what, are we really such an ill disciplined team?

The trouble with this system, of allowing the video ref to review an incident, is that it is still open to exploitation by the players, staying down to get a review.
The review system needs to be abandoned and just use it for try decisions, but I would rather not have it at all, just let the ref make the decisions and put up with errors, they happen even with the video ref.

Players make errors, coaches make errors, referees make errors it is all part of the human condition. Why are we always looking for perfection? It doesn't exist. Although I come pretty close .
