Russ Bridge wasn't a dirty player?

Is it Neil or Norman?

When's the review for the player who dumped Taylor at Batley?

Tonight and Mennell is also up from the same game

OMG Graham Hallas is on the panel as well..........

2 match ban for Walton. Mennell got sending off sufficient.

Any idea if Steve Pickersgill got a ban for incident against Skolars?

Running in & punching - opponent off guard

Wayne Godwin gets two matches what an absolute farce .

not as farcical as your spelling attempt...

Do you not start a sentence with a capital letter in the colonies?

I have edited my error ,so would you now like to add a pertinent comment to my post ?



Had Mr Godwin been an amateur he would have been dealt with far more severley, he ran in and threw a punch with intent against a player with his back to him a cowardly act .
This being on the television and watched by thousands of young players sends out all the wrong messages .

When I write in sentences, I do indeed start with a capital letter. Your point is? (By the way, that is a rhetorical question, which means you are not required to answer it.)

I am not sure what relevance this had to the original thread or to Leigh RL in general, so I really could not be bothered commenting. But, if you really want to know, I totally agree with you!

Now now play nicely, spelling or syntax errors are made by most if not all of us at some time or another, pointing them out only leads to petty bickering.

I thought the initial thread was about the panel ,my point expands the initial post .The RFL sets guidlines for the community game but does not adhere to it at the proffessional game its double standards .

The RFL,s disciplinary panel should be leading by example .

I agree, when a SL player gets a fine and a letter for swearing at a ref and a local discipline panel is suppose to ban a player for 8 matches for the same offence thats where double standards comes in and another example of unfairness in Rugby League.
I can see the reason for this expanded main discipline panel is to allow more panels to sit more often and it doesn't do any harm to have a diversity of people on any sort of judicial panel.

You know where I am coming from Fred having been on panels yourself its frustrating when as you point out an amatuer player is treated different to a pro, when we are supposed to be working to the same Bible.
What is the saying " Do as I say not what I do " should be the new RFL motto.

The punishments handed out by the NCL are way over the top when compared to the Pro game.

That and a recent bout of ill health was one of the main reasons I couldn't continue on the NWC discipline panel anymore, it was crazy some of the 'punishments' we were supposed to 'award' when it appeared the pro's were getting away with lesser penalties, it also looks sometimes as if the semi-pro's are treated more harshly than the full timers.

Brett McDermott of Barrow has been suspended for 6 matches following 2 separate incidents in their game against York. 4 matches for stamping and 2 for punching.

And did he do the full 80 mins of the game?

He certainly lasted until at least the 70th min because that's when the stamping incident occurred

sorry Fred - bad day at the office yesterday so I was a little off colour!

no worries mate hope your better, no need to apologise it wasn't only aimed at you but thank you all the same.

Misses our game then, and all in his benefit season.

Think so as it was York who asked the RFL to have a look at the DVD of the game.
