He did there was a case of raising knees and of "undue pressure" that was posted in another thread that was worse than the one that Burrow has actually been cited for. Its because they know if they take Bailey to the disciplinary two weeks in a row someone may actually have to ban him for it. Whereas Burrow hasnt been recently so they can ban Coley and give Burrow a "good disciplinary record" slap on the wrists.

Why wasn't the player who deliberately took out Pat Richards off the ball appear before the disciplinary? I can't believe he got away with it. Players from other clubs will copy it.

Yes, but players from other clubs will also get banned.

Players.......not player. The RFL would never even cite Sinfield and Mcguire let alone ban both of them !!!

Anyone when Coley's hearing is? I assume it's tonight

Usually all done and dusted by now, but there's 6 up so could be a late one.

Burrow got a one game ban for his "tackle" on Hoffman.

Ferriol - 3 games
Burrow - 1 game
Cahill 1 game

No mention of Coley at all. Has he got off? Who knows.

Word has it Coley got one game.

Confirmed now on the Sportinglife website.

Coley gets a nice well earned mid week rest then

Which one?

It was the only tactic they could employ to stop him.

And they harp on about our players cheating...

so we will bring in crosby possible......making 2 props and a rookie

thanks Sam

Edited for accuracy.

Hock must play prop now.

Could have done without that.

I'd like to think Davies or Crosby will be brought in but I expect Hock and one of Hansen or Tuson will step up to prop.

Id be tempted to line up

1. Sam Tomkins
2. Josh Charnley
3. Joel Tomkins
4. George Carmont
5. Pat Richards
6. Brett Finch
7. Paul Deacon
8. Lee Mossop
9. Thomas Leuluai
10. Jeff Lima
11. Harrison Hansen
12. Ryan Hoffman
13. Sean O'Loughlin

14. Michael McIllorum
15. Gareth Hock
16. Chris Tuson
17. Dom Crosby

That's a bit harsh. Coley's a big boy and is responsible for himself.

How about bring Goulding/Marsh into the centres and put Joel back to 2nd row. 4 props of Mossop, Lima, Hock, Hansen? Not exactly lightweight or small are they?

Yet again the inconsistency of The RFL comes to the fore. Coley probably did deserve a ban, but Cooper and Emmitt have both been "let off" without a ban, even though they were found guilty of fighting and fined £500. What a surprise that Cooper is a Warrington player (with a tough match on Friday aginst Huddersfield) and any ban for Emmit would have ruled him out of tomorrow's clash against Wigan. I haven't seen the Cooper/Emmit incident, but the fact they were "fighting" surely means more than one punch was thrown. Remember that Fielden was suspended for defending himself and throwing a punch against Mason after he had been stamped on and also provoked by Griffin last year.

I honestly don't class Coley as a "dirty" player, hard yes, dirty no - but any instance of illegal play ( last year against Catalans, coincidentally the week before Wigan played Warrington) and now throwing one punch while defending his small teammate who was being manhandled by 3 Leeds players has again resulted in suspension. Contrast the several (3?) high tackles that Morley committed against Saints which went unpunished by the RFL, yet Tuson gets banned for tackling around the legs. Despite all these suspensions this year not one opposition player has actually been injured in any of the so-called illegal challenges - Lima's and Joel's earlier in the season included. Contrast Dureau who was hospitalised after an appalling late challenge by Carvell ( according to the commentators) who again escaped a ban.

Trolls may accuse some of us of paranoia, but there seems a blatant bias against Wigan and a definite favouritism towards Warrington ( and Leeds). Certainly the whole RFL Disciplinary system beggars belief.

I think it will be that in terms of props but leave Joel where he is and bring Farrell in the SR.

The one major gripe I have about consistency is regarding the Lee Smith incidents. Two pretty clear chicken wing tackles, or at least tackles which push the arm against the natural range of motion / place undue pressure on the joint. Jeff Lima received 1 match for each of his chicken wings against Saints. Lee Smith gets cited for one incident but let off because he lets go (despite already putting pressure on the joint) and the worst one doesn't even get cited. I fail to see where the consistency is. Both of Smith's challenges were as bad if not worse than Lima's yet he gets off scot free.
Was Lima banned just because of the Melbourne connection?

It depends if Cross's work permit comes through.

if it wasnt for sams moment of stupidy, the whole event wouldnt have happened.

im a masive fan of Sam.......but he was crazy for not leaving well alone and taking the 2.
its ended up costing us Coley for 1 game when we are already short of props.
lets hope he learns from it eh?

Rogues, are you implying his permit might come through in time for Wednesday's game - or Saturday's?
