www.rugby-league.com/the_rfl/disciplinary Ben Crooks up for 1-2 matches McMeekin for NFA - 1 match. So he'll get off. It looks like Stewart contributed to the head tackle, by 'dipping', much like Adam Higson contributed to almost being decapitated at Saints by 'changing direction'! As an aside, I see that Richie Myler received two 'caution' letters, for tripping in each of Catalans' Bank Holiday games. Interestingly, those were his FOURTH and FIFTH such citings in the last three seasons. How many does it take to constitute a punishable offence?!

Stewart was given a yellow card and a grade B charge, for virtually idenitical tackle against Warrington to McMeekin.

McMeekin also got off flattening Drinkwater, as a dummy runner. Drinkwater didn't receive a head injury. Fair enough. However, could his action have had the "potential for injury", (RFL's phrasing) like Jamie Acton's push on Flanagan last season? (a push that earned Acton 4 matches)

Just a hint of consistency would go some way to restoring my faith in the citing/disciplinary process!

Similar result but hardly identical, the Cas lad was 3rd man in - which in some way could make it worse and more intentional

So, it looks like McMeekin will get off, as he has an EGP to use, while Stewart misses at least one match, having failed the concussion assessment. What kind of justice is that?

Crooks, needless to say, doesn't have the benefit of an EGP. Back to having no centres against Leeds!

I just can't get my head round Richie Myler receiving two 'caution' letters for identical offences within four days. Perhaps they have made allowance for the first letter (from Friday) getting caught in the Bank Holiday post and arriving too late to stop him committing the identical offence on Monday?

Crookes has earned a ban, is there nothing mentioned for the headbutt

Fleming, Dawson, Brown, Patterson can play centre , plenty of options

Plenty of options Col, but I suspect Dawson, Brown & Paterson will be needed elsewhere!

Curtis Naughton deserves a game - done nothing wrong for me. Doesn't seem that the time in the sin bin counts? If in sin bin then man down - if not playing 13 men - only folk who suffer are the fans in the end.

Ultimately I couldn't care less wether McMeekin gets a ban or not , he won't be serving it against us ' so nothing for us to gain , in fact better that he does play against our rivals

Again though just another kick in the nuts from the officialdom against ' The most penalised team in SL ' , in fact if I was Jukesy , I'd have a sign on the door from now on with that written in big letters as motivation , much like Saints changing room video after their battering

I know Steve, but where is the justice when the guy who was fouled, misses the rest of the game, plus at least the next one, yet the guy committing the foul, basically escapes the punishment.

Crooks is being punished for his illegal tackle, AND he was punished with a yellow card. Justice would have been served, had McMeekin received a card of some colour. As it is, he's got off scot-free. Wish we had some current England internationals in our squad - they appear to be so, so disciplined!

Just like McShanes disgraceful spear tackle on Hock in the 1 minute of our season , a deliberate banned tackle , not even a yellow , then McShane gets a ban , we all know what the result would have been if the positions had been reversed

But as I said ' I'd use it as motivation , and I'd make sure everybody knew it as well

Watts of Hull 1 game for a blatant head high shot against Catalan,and they say the judgements are fair and unbiased.Will someone from the disciplinary board please come on here and explain why and how they came to this verdict.

That's easy, He doesn't play for Leigh.

Forgot all about that

Didn't he get a red card for that?

He did indeed,i thought he would have got at least 3 games

I've just seen McMeekins 'swinging arm' shot on Stewart, cleaned him out


This tackle is worse than Glen's shot on Brown as, that was a one-on-one, McMeekin was an additional tackler


Getting fed up of this, its time the club asked for a meeting to get to the bottom of these decisions!
How many players have we had concussed this season and they have missed subsequent games from failed head tests? Paterson,Higson,Brown,Acton and Hansen are just some I can remember

Exactly! Double Standards. And the repercussions are BIG for players, fans, clubs, finances. And this is why it was important Derek highlighted this disparity in the way he did. Radford has also publicly raised this issue over the weekend.

Any mention of Roberts being headlocked and choked by one of your players?

Nope. Didn't see that one through my cherry & white tinted specs, but if it happened, it re-enforces my belief that the 'Review Panel' are being somewhat selective in their reviews and maybe that's a big reason for the inconsistencies that I believe are rife in the process.

Didn`t Watts get sent off earlier in the season too?
Very odd that he gets one match for a blatant head high tackle gets sent off for about 5 minutes whilst Stevie Ward uses an EGP gets binned for ten minutes and banned for the 1 game after getting punched before retaliating.
No wonder we all moan.

Yes,it doesn't seem previous has been taken into account, does it!

3rd ban of the season for Liam Watts.....

think the disciplinary men should have to explain the decision to only give Watts one game.Thats if they have the nerve to.

It seems Clark the instigator of the fight has previous doesn`t use his egp and gets 1 game.
Ward on the other hand has no previous uses his egp and gets 1 game.
