to be fair I have relooked at the DP details and the one he got send off for had NO BAN so fair enough

Still don't see grounds for appealing though - the 'he didn't make contact' doesn't wash with me.

He was banned for the sending off one but still he had no suspension for one of the incidents correct.

I noticed he got the 2 game ban for the leading with the forearm charge which explains the appeal. The case for the defence in that one, which was just Joel and Shaun Wane, was poorly argued compared to the charge of fighting. They were both heard at the same time so it appears they put more focus on getting him let off the fighting charge. A better argued case for the disputed charge should see a reduced ban.

It's different if we're appealing this one though. [urlhttp://www.therfl.co.uk/disciplinary/item?2403[/url

Presumably, the defence will be that if the initial contact is with the chest (as stated by the panel), then to give the 2 match ban is unreasonable.

Not out of the realms of possibility we'll get a match knocked off.

Sorry I have just ripped this off Wigan fans by CPWigan... OMG what a joke organisation the RFL are...

Bearing in mind Lima has never played in SL before and Radford was sent off last year!

Here is the page of Radfords charge from the RFL:
www.therfl.co.uk/disciplinary/item?2400

Here is Lima's for the Saints game:
www.therfl.co.uk/disciplinary/item?2320

Notice a part of that is almost word for word:

Radford's:
"The Panel believed that your opponent’s limb was moved in an abnormal direction and outside the usual ranges of movement. Of particular concern to the Panel was your action in grabbing your opponent’s arm and shoulder, then proceeding to put your opponent’s arm and shoulder in a vulnerable position behind his back, with your body weight maintaining the arm in a vulnerable position with the arm and shoulder joint rotated in an abnormal direction that involved an unacceptable risk of injury to that player. As a defender you have a special duty to avoid such contact. The Panel believed your actions were unnecessary and could have resulted in an injury to your opponent"

Lima's:
"The Panel believed that your opponent’s limb was moved in an abnormal direction and outside the usual ranges of movement. Of particular concern to the Panel was your action in grabbing your opponent’s arm and shoulder, then proceeding to put your opponent’s arm and shoulder in a vulnerable position, with the arm and shoulder joint rotated in an abnormal direction that involved an unacceptable risk of injury to that player. As a defender you have a special duty to avoid such contact. The Panel believed your actions were unnecessary and could have resulted in an injury to your opponent."

Result:
Lima - 2 matches.
Radford - 0 matches.


Oh and to add Lima pleaded guilty and apologised Radford pleaded not guilty and has so far not apologised for his actions.


LOL what a joke.... and other fans don't think the RFL have an agenda!!!

Lol they've copied that from my post on the "Undue Pressure on Joints" thread (except the part about the agenda) glad to see other people think I'm spot on
