People keep bringing up past moments, the most common one being the Lee Briers v Leeds in 2006. But, the RFL shouldn't even consider that. They should take every case as something brand new. Forget about who the player is, what team they play for, just look at their previous history with the Commitee and the offense they are currently there for and punish according to the rules and guidelines.

Whilst i agree with the fact that it was wrong, I do not agree with this part. One of the most common complaints about the RFL is that they are not consistent enough.
And i don't like having to bring up incidents like the briers/lee smith one... but like i said in my earlier post, if they ban sam because there was a few more people than usual watching on the bbc then they are as good as saying that you can do it in superleague, we'll just give you a slap on the wrist...but do it on the bbc and your in trouble. Hardly fair is it? A dangerous tackle wouldn't be punished any more severly because it's on the bbc so why should this incident? The most important thing is treating cases consistently...
