This is the whole problem with the disciplinary. I'm not a saints fan, but I want to see Welsby play! He's a top class player, and I don't want him to be banned for mouthing off. There's certain indiscretions that would be far better with a larger fine, rather than a ban. As fans of the game, we all want to see the top players playing.

I thought exactly the same with Will Pryce's ban of 10 games. Utter madness! Yes, it was bad, but they're devaluing the competition due to some weird power trip they have.

Nothing for us this week. Nothing for Welsby either. It seems consistency isn't a thing that the panel concerns itself with.

I'd be interested to hear the panel justify how McShane's dangerous throw is less serious than Bodene's trip. Joke.

Well, McShane only [iused to[/iplay for Leeds.

Still enough to make him deserve a ban, but not as much as someone currently playing for us...

Seems like it’s pot luck as to how they’re felling on a Monday.

Mason Lino gets a call up, albeit no ban for questioning a decision, yet Welsby throws the call away and screams at the referee and nothing.

I also see there’s a meltdown over in Hull with them having three banned due to a conspiracy against them. What exactly did Ligi Sao do? I must have missed that one.

Seems not. Sky certainly are keen to anoint Welsby as the new messiah, see Tomkins, Samuel (Wigan 2010) and Brian (Nazareth A.D. 0)

Matty Lees ban overturned. Who would have thought it?

Steps back in amazement.

Anyone who saw the footage of a player getting banned for just standing there?

I genuinely have no idea what they were thinking with that initial ban, madness.

The Lees ban was an error, almost as big as just ignoring what Warmsley did.

Two cock ups like that from the review panel makes even those of us who defend them think something is wrong.

What are we saying on Sezer then for his yellow card?

2 matches? Penalty sufficient, but guarantee he’ll cop a ban

Lovely stuff - Matt Prior - two match suspension

How are these supposed late hits on the passer graded?
Prior gets two matches with a grade B, yet George Williams and the Broadie Croft get 0 matches for grade A. Is it a late hit or not?? The shambles rolls on

We need to bring a prop in ASAP.

We are also appealing the Appeal verdict on Newmans ban and trying to get him cleared for Saturday!

Honestly i cannot tell you how outraged i feel about this. What an absolute SHAMBLES the game is. What an effin joke !!!!

I don't even remember seeing it either live or on the TV!

What did he do? Something needs to happen about this. Everyone is being sold short by the RFL here. Clamp down heavily on foul play, but these mistimed or marginal tackles are just ruining it.

IIRC it wasn’t even penalised at the game and not brought up by SKY and given I think Clarkey was co-commentating (?) had he been guilty of foul play surely he would have been on his soap box about it given his hatred of all things Leeds

It’s beyond a joke now!

I assume it's at 24:05 on the Sky coverage as the RFL minutes talk about 25:15 OPTA timings. To most of us a 2 match ban seems harsh but it's now way past the point where the players just have to get it into their heads not to do this.

Fecking joke yet again.
Did I read somewhere that Hurrell has been pulled for 3 late hits recently and not received a ban?
Has Sezer copped anything or Richardson for the elbow to the face?

The Huddersfield half back (Russell?) got hit virtually every time he kicked out of hand.
So, presumably a load of Salford players have got bans?

Yeh, thought not....

I wouldn’t start moaning now. I pointed out what a joke it had become last season when Tet was banned for 4 games for marginal late hit vs Saints in CC.
Most on here were in favour, so it sounds bit daft being so ‘outraged’ now

I really do think Leeds and maybe other clubs should take this further.
It would be easy for a solicitor to put together various offences over the season and compare them to the bans received.
If and I know I am biased here.
But if it is proved there is a clear case of wrong doings then it should be up to the RFL to explain their logic.
