That’s what I thought he’s never been that type of player as for Watts I’m surprised he didn’t plant him lol

What did he do? Was it a Vinnie Jones on Gazza job?

Yep

Definite absence of pitchforks and burning torches on the VT

St Helens winger Tommy Makinson could be banned for a minimum of eight games for a low grab on Castleford Tigers prop Liam Watts in Sunday's 10-0 win.

The 28-year-old has been handed a Grade F "other contrary behaviour" charge and will go before an independent panel.

Referee James Child placed the incident on report at the time.

Bradford hooker George Flanagan was banned for eight games for an "attack to the testicles" in last season's Championship match against Toronto.

Grade F is the most serious of the range of severities the Rugby Football League can apply to a disciplinary incident.

Grant Millington of Castleford will receive a one-game ban if he accepts a Grade A dangerous contact charge from the same game.

Elsewhere from the round nine fixtures, there were two-match bans handed to Catalans prop Sam Moa and Warrington back-rower Ben Murdoch-Masila for Grade C high tackle offences, while Wakefield centre Reece Lyne also has a two-match suspension for Grade C dangerous contact.

Sam Tomkins, who only returned from suspension for Catalans against Wakefield, has a one-game ban for a Grade A tripping charge.

A 'low grab'

Just so surprising that it was Makinson as he doesn’t seem the sort. Just seen some comments from Watts saying he was surprised it was Makinson and said when he grabbed him he thought it would be accidental but then he grabbed him some more and then a bit more. It’s one of the strangest things I’ve seen on a field and you can’t see how they can hand out any less than 8 games considering they’ve set the standard. This is the RFL mind you.

15 - 20 years ago this would have been dealt with a lot differently if someone did that to a prop!

I saw Sam T got a one game ban for Catalans and thought he’d miss our game with them, shame they’ve got challenge cup next week

Is the Red Vee Squirrel a protected species? We'll soon find out.

RedVee Makinson thread

Yeah but Ben Flower....

Why is it that certain ex Wigan players like Gelling, Mcllorum and the Tomkins Brothers always seemed to be regular targets for the disciplinary committee

Seen many incidents of foul play committed by other players which have been just as bad, if not worse but no action has been taken.

And it has got to be be a serious offence for a Leeds player to be cited and more so,suspended.

This forum really needs a fishing emoji

Well I waited in vain for the discussion of this controversy on The Superleague Show.

5 matches, downgraded to E

Not sure how you can down grade that.... unless They deemed it was only a slight squeeze

I bet George Flanagan and Bradford are ed off as he got 8 matches

Laughable..how much more proof did they need for him to produce fluid?

Bollo##s

It should be a minimum amount of games for certain offences like testicle twisting and gouging,if you have a minimum amount of games then you can increase it dependent on severity

Did anybody really think Saint Tommy would get 8 matches as per the precedent set on Halifax player. Didn't think so

Perhaps they decided he was just having a feel.

I wonder if he asked him to cough as well

didnt Leon price do the same ,maybe its what they teach them at Stains.

It's all a load of boll**cks if you ask me.
