didnt sims get a ban for standing on someone or is my mind playing tricks

1 match ban

Serves him right for wearing the wrong shirt.

Must be Agar's fault

As he challenged the ruling, rather than accepting with an EGP, does this mean if he would have submitted an EGP he would have escaped a ban?

It means he is sure he will be cleared and get to retain his EGP.
If found guilty he receives the band and forfeits the EGP.

He did plead guilty but not with intent to trip

Did Burgess get a ban for going into two tackles with his feet in the same match against Hull?.....

Did Liam Farrell get a ban last year for sliding in with his knees on Ratchford about 5 seconds after he'd grounded the ball?

Ratch should've been binned on Saturday, he got away with one, but i've never known a ban for a trip. Unless i missed one

Patton was found guilty of a trip earlier this year.

I'm getting old

Actually, we've had a number of players reviewed.for tripping this year. That's what contributed to my earlier rant

And to further answer your question; yes Farrell got a ban for that offence. Wasn't he also sin-binned?

Richie Myler has had at least 2 games this season where he has just got a caution for tripping

How come none or the round the neck tackles by Wigan were reported for disciplinary action & what about Marshall's shoulder charge that put Lineham in touch ?

Surely action around the neck & head is more serious than falling over someone's leg which is a professional foul at the most.

What puzzles me is....with only half a dozen games before doomsday....If Ratch has a EGP, why gamble it like he did taking a halfway penalty?
Shirley you play the percentages!?

Either he is a bad gambler or the conspiracy theory comes into play...he like Lineham wanted a ban?...they don't want to play for Agar?

In Rugby Union they have penalties, and potential for yellow and red cards for what they call neck roll tackles.

There appears to be far too much messing around with the neck & head in Rugby League.

Stef has an 11 year long clean disciplinary record

Sometimes it counts, sometimes it doesn't

No. A crime is a crime and sentence must fit. When guilty and caught on camera just hold your hands up....!
It was obvious he intentionally did it, so why deny it? Two wrong calls within 48 hours.

Yes but SOL clean record was spoke of by RFL last season and got away with similar 'crimes'

Chancing case ruling on prior cases is still a gamble and with half a dozen games left before we could face playing outside the elite league with bragging rights as the only team to do so....it is an unbelievable outrageous decision.
He could have pleaded guilty and walked!!!
I've had enough of this calamity coaching outfit.

Agar out
TS out.

I know he doesn't play for Wigan but surely the fact that he was born there could have been used in his defence.

He would still have been banned pleading guilty grade B is 1-2 isn't it?

But he loses it either way, right?

Yes, so may as well contest it. The only downside would have been if they gave him 2 games.

Yes would have got game either way so only hope was to contest. Worth it.
