What on earth was Justin Carney doing when James Child approached him ? He seemed to put his fore-arm up to his face.

It was bizarre, but nowt in it.

You also have to wonder what on earth James Child was doing to basically just barge into Carney like that.

Carney banned for 2 games. Ridiculous.

RFL are a f*cking joke.

You can add this to the long list of over the top bans/fines we've been given over the past few seasons and a lot of Salford fans believe there really is an RFL vendetta against our club. Although if you ask a certain Hudds supporter this ban is nowhere near sufficient and I'm sure she'll be petitioning the government for his immediate deportation for human rights abuses!

If someone walks into you in a crowded are you dont put a forearm into their chest and push-
If you did that in a crowded barb you'd expect a smack in the mouth. If he'd put out the flat of his hands fair enough but his action was aggressive and deserves a ban.

I'm not defending the ban, a fine should be sufficient but....

A decision had been made, Carney was arguing and refusing to accept the decision and stood his ground. This was stopping the ref from getting on with his job and continuing the game. Carney should have been professional and accepted the decision and not blocked the ref from getting on with his job.

Add to that, that you knew Justin 'no neck' Carney has a certain attitude when Salford signed him.

As I started though, a fine should have been sufficient rather than a ban.

Consistency is all we ask for, Jamie Peacock back end of last season springs to mind as one example. Next I will get told it is different!

Some utter spouted on here. Can't stand Carney but Child walked into him, Carney did raise his arm which was bizarre but he didn't push and he wasn't aggressive.

Same rubbish being spouted by the usual suspects. He could have hugged Childs, given him a kiss on the cheek and he'd still have got a ban.

Total lack of consistency and someone (likely playing for one of the "big" clubs) will do far worse in the coming weeks and the RFL will do sweet FA.

I'd like to know if Child reported this as he did nothing at the time and it'll likely be some fat ar$ed, jobsworth desk monkey at the RFL who has probably flagged it.
