Quote ="bramleyrhino"Not sure on the EPG thing, but didn't the RFL upgrade a player's charge last year (John Boudebza?) based on the severity of the injury sustained by the player?'"
Yes first game of the season against Cas. Was a challenge you'll see plenty of times per game but because certain individuals made a big deal of it, the book was thrown. However, lots of similar challenges were brought before the RFL and not punished. This was confirmed by Jamie Peacock who sat with someone from the RFL to look at the Boudebza challenge after the ruling. He showed them other challenges (I think one by Brough iirc) and pointed out the similarities to the Boudebza challenge which they agreed with then asked them why one was punished and one wasn't. There answer was that they got it wrong. A bit late after the event. There is a fundamental issue with the Disciplinary process. There needs to be a strict policy and guidelines with no allowance for mitigating circumstances(injuries etc..)
