The RFL are trying all they can to avoid another Leeds v Saints final
They are desperate to show the outside RL fans that more than 2 sides exist.
Buderus - 1 game ban, Prescott & Tompkins - don't be naughty

Radford 4 punches and cuts Bailey - don't do it again - ban overturned
Webb appeals earlier in season - no chance 2 game ban for Wigan cup tie

It's a joke

If we win this year it'll be a miracle with all that's happened

They've helped you enough over the last three years. It's someone elses turn

Before last night I would have said dont be daft there is no such thing. But the decision to ban Buderus for one game is so shocking I can only suggested your right.

There was no malice in the tackle right?...I think everyone agree's that.
Its in the best interests in the sport if all the remaining team remain competitive, right?
Leeds have already lost 2 hugely influecencial players due to injury.
So why have the RFL pulled something so petty up, something we see week in week out in SL, and hand a one match ban to somebody who has a clean record? Add to that there was 2 incidents involving Wigan players that I believe we're much much worse. One of them is where a player DELIBERATELY kicks McGuire

Funny... and the worst post ever.

It's embarrassing when opposition fans have claimed stuff like this against Leeds over the past few years, lets not join them.

I reckon the RFl should release a charity single for Xmas.

They could do a version of 'Can I Kick It? (Yes, You Can)'.

As unfair as it seems you are dead right! come on peeps.

I think you should have stuck at point one, and left it at that, as that is all that is relevant. The rest should not come into the equation.

The tackle its self did not deserve a ban, not in comparison to the other in the same game from the Wigan players.

What we have now, I think and stand to be corrected, is that when Ablett was banned he was the first player to actually get banned to maximum that the grade given goes to. Now we have Buderus banned also to the maximum (although on a much smaller scale for charges).

I will be amazed if the ban is not overturned on appeal. That for me would give more of a case for questioning the integrity.

It's not a conspiracy. The RFL are not competent enough to organise a conspiracy.

It was one punch, read the RFL's report

Reported that Colin Clarke and Mc Innes were part of the panel. Hardly two impartial members of the panel linked with the team with most to game from a Buderus ban.

Am i right in saying Danny can has the choice to appeal before 11am today?????

Surely this silly decision after some silly incidents in the past few games we have seen that have gone un-punished. How ever lets not take it away from the rest of the team, I do think on our day we still have a strong enough squad to match anyone.

Completely agree another example of the inept and useless that are within the governing body of our beloved sport.

Just heard Leeds are appealing against the 1 match ban, I think it may get over turned.

Yorkshire Evening Post:
"The disciplinary panel is understood to have included former Wigan player and coach Colin Clarke, alongside another ex-Wigan team boss Alan McInnes" ????!!!!!????

Indeed - it's one thing the RFL dropping the "home town" rule for its referees, who are after all full time employees of the RFL.

Clearly it believes the volunteers on its disciplinary panels can be trusted to be similarly impartial.

If those 2 people had an integrity they would have stood down voluntarily

It was an almighty cock up by the RFL, or a joke.

We only had to see the wigan boards on here, or all other message boards, including twitter pages to Leeds players, to get an understanding of the feeling of Wigan fans on Monday morning.

To then put a player up from that very game from the winning oppossition in front of Wigan fans, is just ludicrous.

Correct me if I'm remembering this incorrectly but weren't Colin Clarke and Alan McInnes unceremoniously sacked and dumped as a Wigan coaching team? Replaced by Graeme Lowe who brought great success to the club.

it will be a joke if its not overturned, tomkins did far worse and the other spear tackle was worse than dannys so how can the same type of tackle result in a slap on the wrist and a 1 match ban.they do want a wigan saints final.and yet people think leeds get let off the hook by the disciplinary panel.

Just text my contact at rfl to tell them to be more subtle if they dont want leeds v saints game in final.

So do we know what time the hearing is and when we find out?
