Very nice Frank.Does Soward get up and go tackle Worthington from behind,after they scored a try?

He did

So why are the RFL review panel missing it?They see the high one from Worthington,they see the punching on the deck.How can they miss Soward getting up,running and taking Worthington out from behind?

Give up with these men me,Koukash was right,they do need to go.No wonder the game is on a downward slope.

It wasn't a high tackle.

Looks that way, and I've just been to Specsavers recently too!

Still find it a bit farcical though, when someone trollies you from behind its an instance reaction to defend yourself. These guys are pumped up with careers on the line so they are on the edge to start with.

Late tackle seems borderline to me, but there must have been half a dozen in the game similar or worse that went unpunished

And whilst I'm at it, digressing slightly, but without knowing the rules how did the London guy not get 10 mins for pulling McNally down when he was backing up in the 2nd half, that looked a certain try in the making

Especially as they had been on a 'team warning' - although it was a good bit after that warning, and I don't know how long that lasts.

That's funny, Officials are sponsored by specsavers.

Good point that Alan, we were discussing that at the time and nobody seemed to know. We just seem to agree it was just at the refs discretion, but is there a time limit? coz we just didn't know.

C,mon reffy - We need your expertise on this one.

It's only a charge maybe the rfl have not watched the video yet ? Just a thought like!

Agreed Col. Sometimes it seems apparent they are looking/finding wrong doings for us.Like i said in an earlier post,we were the top of the league for poor discipline,so maybe they are being over zealous. Anyroad,I hope the the incident when soward did greg like he did, is reviewed and dealt with accordingly.

That is a sign of extreme paranoia.

So why has Greg been given a Grade A for what I can see doesn't warrant,and coward gets nothing for he's actions. That's not paranoia, that's a fact. I will repeat myself, Greg was committed to that tackle,and there was nothing sinister in it. I also saw patto get a yellow for an high tackle which was more serious than Gregs tackle and he got no charge whereas Greg got NFA EGP.Now can you try and give me an answer to it?

I still can't believe that Soward hasn't been charged at all for the initial attack to Greg from behind, with the ball not even in play.

It is even more clear on the LCTV footage (same angle, just slightly more zoomed out). Soward takes exception to the tackle and after London score he chases after Greg and aggressively tackles him to the floor from behind when Greg isn't even looking.

A blatant case of taking the law into his own hands and the act that instigated the whole thing.

How can the panel have completely ignored that and simply charged him with a grade A punching once they are on the floor.

It is just bizzare!

Well said Nozzy.

That might explain why I saw something similar to the officials & review panel?

Next time I'd better try Vision Express!!

That's right. In Sowards case - saw nothing.

wouldn't mind a spell In jail to chin one of the idiots handing out these decisions to see if they would just stand there and let me hit them without retaliating


Joking of course NOT

"Greg Worthington (@LeighCenturions) pleads guilty to Grade C punching. Two match ban and a £200 fine."

Think he got NFA for the 1st charge so will miss the Salford and Fev games.

Soward uses his EGP and gets off the hook with NFA.

Amazing



Could you imagine the uproar if Gareth Hock chased somebody down when the ball wasn't even in play and rugby tackled them to the floor from behind before punching them.

He would be given a 10 match ban before being hung, drawn and quartered and then fined for good measure.

At least they show some consistency

Be careful Nozzy,You'll have reffy on yer back.

On your back, I would be more likely to suggest a psychiatrist for the posters that think the RFL have got it in for the upstart Leythers and will do anything in their power to keep us in the Championship.


Should we lose to Salford, the bulk of the blame will be pointed toward Campbell, Child, the TJs and timekeeper, the RFL will take what's left of the blame for deducting Salford's 6 points.

There are none so blind as those who will not see.
