The book thrown at him!

Not that i like saying this but i 100% agree with it all

i say fair play to the ref for having the guts to get the red card out,

now can we have some consistency please???????????????????

red card, 2 matches, and we just might stop the head shots...

It's a deserved 2 game ban imo but I agree the frustration comes from the fact that we know certain players would get away with it. If Cunningham, Peacock or Morley would have made that tackle then they wouldn't have been banned(or they would have got a ban over turned on appeal at least) and thats were the frustration really comes in.

In terms of whats good for the game though a 2 game ban seems about fair for Coley though but the same rules should apply for all players.

Was a shocking tackle and he deserves the two games.

Had it been Morley or Carvell or Graham or Peacock we'd be complaining 2 games isn't enough.

Bollox! He hardly touched him.

Fakir should be on a charge for feigning concussion.

We wouldnt as they dont get 2 matches, not after appeal anyway

It also was not intentional.

Peacocks on Tomkins at their place WAS intentional and prevented an almost certain try.

well he got the absolute max for a grade b, with a red card and a 2 match ban so yeah

Dont have a problem with a 2 match ban , it was a bad tackle . What i do have a problem with is if you play for England you can do what you want with the blessing of RFL .

What Morley and Peacock have got away with this season is no less than common asault with the blessing of the RF bloody L .You can add Keith Senior & KFC(Wales) to that list as well .

The world's against us I tell thee.

It's Coley's birthday today, i think he just wanted a whole 2 weeks to celebrate.

Have I missed something?Or is it just taken for granted we are not appealing?

I can't believe how many mard ar$e$ there are on here. The tackle really wasn’t that bad. Some on here are going way OTT about it.

Too right.

Had the tackle been the other way and Coley was on the receiving end, the very same people would be demanding a firing squad for Fakir.

It wasn't the other way around so your argument is null and void. You don't know how people would have reacted.

I’ll say it again people are just being incredibly soft on this whole incident but they will be the first to moan in a few seasons when we end up looking as pathetic as football.

Fair play to childs for sending hom off - most refs bottle it and put it on report.

2 match ban is fair enough too - swinging arm right round the chops, took him off his feet.

As mentioned earlier though it is the inconsistency with the rfl that is the problem. just one obvious example;

Peac*cock on sam - swinging arm, right round the chops, took him off his feet - pretty much identical. Result = penalty. How Coley's was a sending off and two match ban worse than that is impossible to know.

Plenty of other examples involving well known forwards with history..........

Trying to determine intent is pretty much impossible - you either hit someone around the face or you don't. No argument. End of Story.

Previous Record which included 2 from 09 season!!!

Ryan Bailey was also charged for an High shot and his record is awful! He was found guilty of hitting the neck - pen sufficient!!

They also state the referee got the decision right pretty sure Mr Bentham made the decision!!
I wouldnt mind if players had already got punished but Elima only got 1 game for an High shot against saints which caused injury!
Going off the back of being told from bentham that hitting the kicker late was a mandatory sin binning then it just being a pen sunday. The whole reffing and discipline set up needs looking and and making more black and white!!

No it's not. You only have to look at the bitching and whining about tackles such as Peacock's on here to see the double standards some people have.



Using your argument it's not football so your argument is null and void.

I know I’ve complained about the Peacock tackle as it shows the inconsistency in punishments for similar offences BUT I don’t think EITHER deserve any sort of ban for these tackles. I certainly wasn’t on here after the Leeds game screaming for Peacock to be banned for two games.

Maybe because Sam Tomkins took it like a man unlike Fakir.



I never said it was football I said it will end up like football.

the strange thing is a was drinking with a super league ref last night and his view was maybe 1 match although if it had been very early in the game sending off sufficient. very suprised at 2 matches and would think wigan would appeal.

but that is from a refs point of view not from the panel

Did Sam need to leave the field with concussion?



So still null and void then.

What does it matter if a player is injured or not?

Because no two incidents are the same and if Coley's high tackle was not as bad as you are making out, Fakir wouldn't have concussion.

So we base sendings off on if an injury has occurred?
