Taken in isolation I don't think Keith can really complain. But compared to Gilmour, who tried to smack a player who was being held by a team mate, it's harsh.

A week off really.

Fair punishments as far as I'm concerned but it still wont stop the conspiracy theorists from Ramraidsville I'm afraid.

I did not think Senior would get a ban, and it looks (reading between the lines) like they were unhappy at how he kept on mouthing after the punch rather than his initial reaction to Wilkin's off-the-ball face plant... so all in all I think they have got it correct.

James Graham, Thats who you should worship kids, cray like a baby when you lose!

what a joke!

I bet if softcock wilkin wouldnt have hit the deck nothing would have been said, Rob Burrow hit Thackray harder then that years back and got nothing!

Wilkin pushed Senior to the floor after he plays the ball, Keith doesnt like this and so has a word, and then whatever Wilkin says sends Keith off on one, and Wilkin onto his ar[is[/ie

Never got to see if Wilkin was mouthing back though did we.

All seem about fair to me, hopefully this will be the end of it and we can all move on to the rest of the season and stop the bickering about these incidents.

Got to agree with you 100% there! I do think the RFL should send him a letter... but suspect they won't. I would also expect the club to take some action... but they won't either!

I like this idea of sending letters!!

It's so pre-email isn't it??

You can imagine any self respecting RL player hiding in mortal fear behind the sofa when he hears the crunch of the postman's boot,and the sound of manilla dropping onto door mat first thing on a wednesday morning can't you?


No,really!!!

If you can agree FGB should have shaken hands then yes

I have already posted on here that I thought he should have, but also that I thought a lot of people were making a mountain out of a molehill about the issue.

Players deciding if they are going to appeal and inform the club tomorrow. I think they would be stupid to IMO.

I was only teasing!!

Agreed.



I think Senior copped a ban not for the slap ( it was hardly a punch) but for continuing the verbals and threats afterwards.

Looking forward to the rematch.



I suspect Rommel and his RedVee cronnies will be having an apoplexy though

You obviously didn't see the incident properly. Keith slapped Wilkin first, but followed that instantly with a smack in Wilkin's face.

One can only hope. I can see the flecks of foaming mouthed spittle flying now.

Wilkin got up under his own power. From Keith, that's a "slap".

I'll be paying the place a visit, it'll be hell on there tonight



Can you imagine just how victimsied (even for a scouser) they'll be feeling now ?

Six Leeds players get cited but only three at the discipline committee

Only a one match ban for what is virtually a meaningless fixture

And to cap it all Sinfields injury is no sort of season-finishing injury at all.

Jesus, even by Scouse-victim standards thats one hell of a body blow

Why don't you just rub it in McF

TBH i was expecting worse for Jjb after i'd read his tackle was worse than fatty-sat-on-the-loos who'd received a 1 game ban.
Kylies fine was expected and a suspension would of been ridiculous when you consider worse have gone unpunished.
As for seniors i can understand why he was suspended but seeing as peacock(twice)Gilmour(twice) have gone unpunished for similar and imo worse examples of punching someone it seems like double standards but ATEOD we move on to friday!

I'd appeal the ban based on that explanation alone.

Does this mean the panel did not bother watching the World Cup then?

Ok, I see what you are saying but it is more about getting it on his record and the press reporting that he has indded been formally warned by th RFL for being a t0sser!

wait a minute... Mr Postman!!!

Possibly not!

Kicking off on RedVee



although to be fair there are one or two reasoned comments.
