I hope he keeps speaking his mind and they keep fining him. Someone needs to speak up.

Not even a penalty last night in my opinion. Vaughan would have to bend in half, or disappear at that speed to avoid it

However that sending off changed the game and ruined the spectacle, imagine the outcry if he isn’t banned.
•Not a conspiracy theory just how I think it will play out. I hope I will be pleasantly surprised.

Cannot wait to see what those clowns come up with this afternoon. More than one dodgy call over the weekend, thought Hudds were hard done to yesterday even more than PV tbh. Watch them double down and hand out hefty bans though, probably more because Sam actually spoke out, and we play that shower on Saturday.

After watching the Saints game, Warrington will be able to beat them without PV, just let Warmsley run the ball in, guaranteed to get it back with the amount of knock ons he gives.

Three matches for Vaughan, as judged at 'higher end'. Total rubbish, but just what we have come to expect from these clowns: https://www.rugby-league.com/article/63 ... view-panel

Makes no odds really. Nice break for him before the play offs - hopefully Dufty back for then as well. Chance for Philbin to stake a claim.

Dearie me.

No comment..

Suspect an appeal against 3 matches

Becoming a liability.

A threat to Tom Lineham’s crown.

I’m a bitter duck because he is a class prop and his disappoints over and over again.

Sam’s rant doesn’t make it any less of a dumb tackle to me.
He’s constantly letting his team down, and letting me down as a fan, if not the forum members that shout me down every time I have to make another post on him and my so called agenda.

Under current rules did you think it warranted a red?

Watched the incident again & it looks more like Trout colliding with Vaughan's chest.

3 matches for Vaughan and also Huddersfield's Fenton Rogers are simply absurd. (I note that Rogers got an additional match for another incident). The red cards may be in line with current rules but we are in danger of over sanitising the game. To add suspensions just seems ludicrous to me.

In a State of Origin game Ashley Klein would be getting on with the game and telling the players, if indeed they needed telling, to do the same.

Another example of where we are light years behind!

Don`t watch any NRL games, but do their video ref interfere with the game as it`s progressing?

Liam Moore looked like he was going to play-on, in the incident where Paul Vaughan was sent-off, without even awarding penalty, then Ben Thaler got involved and the rest is history.

TBF I only watch the SoO games but based on those alone my answer would be no.



I agree, Moore did look set to play on but once the Leigh player stayed down (quite possibly encouraged by team mates to do so) that's when the interaction between ref and video ref commenced.

You can relax for the next 3 games Duckie, and there is no need to stress yourself out, until the play-off game, where barring any injury during training Vaughan will be our starting prop once again.

The best thing for us.
Wouldn’t want him getting 3 games vs London.

The Bunker (the NRL ref ) do intervene, probably more than in Super League. But it's far more professional (not hard admittedly) and smoothly done.

At least Musgrove isn’t at risk of getting a ban…

Well it may also be that he stayed down because he had just had a big shoulder to his head, which I’m sure you can appreciate would be quite an impact - the disciplinary seem to think so

Also, not read all of this thread but seen no mention of Thewlis, who “stayed down” a couple of times and it could be argued should have been green carded

Looks like we are going to appeal the Vaughan ban. Not sure that's a great idea, really. They will probably deem it frivolous and give him an extra game.

Stupid idea. When it comes to contesting bans we’re really a bit thick with which ones to pick.

Even if they leave it as it is I can’t see it being deemed frivilous.

Second guessing the RFL disciplinary is folly. Best case we get him back for London at home, worst case we lose him for first play off game. Just isn’t worth the risk at all. Last season was a free hit to get him back for potential play off games and we didn’t bother trying. Nonsensical.
