kylie could miss catalan game after being charged with grade b punching on peter fox in the 79 min and ablett got a caution also. kylie has the right to an early guilty plea and take a 1 match ban

Appeal - surely he has a good disciplinary record?

No need to appeal. No half decent player for a top club ever get's banned from a crucial knock out game.

Slap on the wrist and a bag of dolly mixture. I will personally oversee the matter.

Contest it, don't take the guilty plea.

I want to watch the Wigan fans on the VT combust when he gets off with a warning.

Agreed.

Didn't Paul Wood escape punishment for his punch on Carl Ablett in the Cup Final? if it's consistent, Kylie should also then...

Pete Smith on Twitter seems to think no-one who has contested a charge this year has been found not guilty. https://twitter.com/PeteSmithYEP/status ... 5116860416

FOOKING JOKE how many times does this happen every game RFL must be short of cash after propping the bull up !!

Can't see how he can possibly plead "not guilty' to the charge of punching, tbh. Probably better taking the one maych ban.

if you look at other incidents in the season, Radfords sending off, the Wigan/Saints fight, Mcilorums single punch on Elima ( that was red carded as well as banned due to early plea) then there should be no way he avoids a ban. If hes sensible he'll take the early plea, two good punches to the head against a player on the floor is no better than the late stiff arm that Mike Mc effectively got 4 games for. Will be tough going to France light in the forwards though.

Should get 2 games.

He assaulted a smaller bloke who was on the floor so he's only himself to blame.

He retaliated to a stray elbow off Fox, As been mentioned he has good record so should be OK, Would be more concerned had it been Ryan Bailey

a stray elbow is irrelevant. Fox certainly did nothing wrong and was on the floor defenceless and he hit him with 2 good ones. If he doesnt put the early plea in he'll be lucky not to get 2 games.

By the letter of the law, aka on field compliance guidelines, he deserves an appearance at red hall.

However, I think there's a case for mitigating circumstances.

Almost identical to the incident where radford smacked bailey(although no one would suggest fox actually deserves a slap every time he takes to the field) and radford paid the price

There aren't really any mitigating circumstances, otherwise you could go all Mike Tyson at any wriggly play-the-ball.

There's context & history: that he hasn't done it before in a long career, but he did do it and I can't see a not guilty plea working.

Personally don't think quick punch-ups are that big a deal compared to dangerous tackles, but the 2012 version of the RFL obviously do given that they've banned plenty for similar, and consistency would see Kylie banned too.

Technically, can't we recall Amor for the next few games?...

They'll combust regardless. If the RFL banned him for life they'd want his corpse banning too.

So now you get banned depending on the size of the player you are hitting?
Robbie will have a field day every week.
He could go round lamping anyone he wants but because he is small he should be let off with a caution.

Leuluai will be taken care of. I am personally overseeing the situation, there will be no mistakes this time.

If the default ban for an early plea is 1 match, presumably you can reject that approach, go there and still plead guilty but demonstrate an outstanding disciplinary record and various mitigating circumstances with the aim of getting no ban but just a fine?

He could still plead guilty and might not get a ban depending on his previous.
I would say 1 match ban considering.
What is the difference other than one extra punch to that incident at Wembley?

Peter Fox punched Kylie twice and Kylie retaliated. If Kylie deserves a ban then Fox does. Don't ban someone because they are bigger and have a better punch.

I don't really understand the RFL.
Mclorum cops a sending off and ban for a punch
Kyle gets haulled up for potential ban
Wood punches ablett to the chops and gets let off.

No one would worry if everyone got treated the same but it all seems typical RFL not very clear

What has the size of the bloke on the floor got to do with it?

According to Adam Hills (c4 last leg) its ok to hit a disabled person if he is being a nob!! so why not a bloke who is a couple of inches and a stone or 3 lighter???

Hand bags at ten paces,I'm from the old school when a biff was a biff .
At the end of the match both players had a laugh and a smile for each other.
The game was played in good spirit, end of story.

I hope Kylie escapes ban free. I'll know when I hear you beefing over the pennines.
