Correct.

Lisone was punished on the day and at most a 1 match ban will be sufficient.

Would love to get an explanation of how they reached these decisions as it is ridiculous! Donaldson jumps into thr tackle and swings the arm with direct contact to the head. If he got 3 matches there would be no complaints.
Lisone is instinctive attempt to stop a try across the shoulder and bounces upwards clearly no intent to put a hit on the opponent. Anybody whos pkayed the game knows the difference in those 2 tackles. Although a different type of tackle Lisone more in common with the Brierley on at Leeds. If Donno got 3 you could possibly accept 1 for Lisone but these decisions look like the MVP don't have a clue and are drawing the sanctions out of a hat!

Absolutely outrageous that ban for Lisone

I am rapidly, very rapidly losing interest in the game I'm afraid

Yep, same here. I’m becoming totally perplexed with it all. It’s simply laughable.

It seems the last few seasons have started off the same way for many fans. Anticipation and excitement for the season to commence, yet within weeks rule changes and new policies have made a growing number of fans despondent and created apathy.

I’ve never known a covering body so out of touch and pathetic as the RFL.

I actually agree with Matthew Shaw on this.
This is all in response to those suing the game.
Well done lads.

Going by the video, Lisone's doesn't look as bad as Donaldson's, it will be interesting to see the explanation. It may be they feel Lisone has enough time and space to make a lower tackle, or it could be the amount of force in the contact is higher than it appears on the video, but I think the club should have a good chance of getting it reduced

To be fair here, there were only 6 charges overall, and 3 suspensions this week, not exactly earth shattering.

3 match ban though…. Come on.. (not aimed at you mate)

The only thing I can think of is that Lisone comes in from the side/behind rather than front on… 3 matches seems way too excessive, that’s basically suggesting both he and Donno should have been red carded under these rules.

Common sense seems to have left the building and got a taxi.

Madness. 1 match ban end of. Honestly the game is going to the dogs at this rate

Appealing Lisone might get it reduced to 2 matches!

Or extended to 4 matches, knowing the RFL

I didn’t see conclusive proof of major force to the head from the video on the day - hopefully he’ll have it reduced but doubt it to be honest.

Don't be so frivolous. 6 match ban for you!

Appeal failed. Stays at 3 matches

So every single appeal last week, and every single one this week apart from Lisones was successful? Hmm

Beyond caring.

Have we ever successfully appealed a charge?

Macdonnell last year when Lomax claimed he was punched

I don't believe it's a conspiracy.
It can only be that we're rubbish at it.

What a farce. Best players getting suspended for minor infringements. Paying spectators are certainly getting bang for buck!

They'd probably be better just scrapping the MRP and just going with set punishments.

Something like:
Red card = 3 match ban, no fine.
1st yellow of the season = fine.
2nd = 1 match ban
3rd = 2 match ban and so on.

Give the clubs the opportunity to appeal any red cards, and perhaps leave the door open to extend bans for more serious foul play,but take as much subjectivity out of the process as possible.
