I think Grade B offences don't have the option of EGP. He is injured anyway, so the two matches he might get will be irrelevant.

Hull KR's Travis Burns banned for two games for a Grade B high tackle

so if he deserved a two game ban, he deserved to be sent off!

Get over it, you will see far worse this season that will go unpunished, even some of yours will commit them (hope you take the same attitude then), it's just the way the game goes.

it was a malicious tackle with intent! regardless of who was playing!

Could have changed the result if he'd been sent, even for ten.

The game is about punching people in the head?

It was as good an example of a send off high tackle as you get.
Both heading same direction, started across the face down to the neck, the arm was swung and was a fair way out so a simple mid section tackle would have done the job.
Not sure what would class as a more straight forward red. Front on you can argue footwork, balance, timing off etc.
Of all refs to bottle it I wouldn't have thought Ganson

The thing I disagree with in this situation is the general unfairness!!
The ban suggests that it should have been a red card. This potentially changes the game, and the result, on Friday. Now he's been banned for 2 games and Hull FC see no benefit of this. In fact, Sts and Huddersfield reap the benefit of our misfortune!!

I know there really isn't a fair way to do it but surely he should be banned for 1 game and/or the next game vs us. Players should fulfill their bans against the team they offended against IMO!

Why should other teams benefit?

I suppose what goes around and we will benefit from a similar situation in the future.

What is really annoying is Ganson's record at sending our players off for lesser incidents.

Thats two Derby matches hes come up with costly decisions in their favour.

I remember Ganson couldn't get his red card out quick enough to send off Jason Smith.

A malicious tackle by a malicious player, who as I said the other day, has previous form for this sort of thing and no doubt will do it again. He should have received more.

Also Fletcher in the same season.

In the same game Halifax in the cup Our first game at the KC

Not just the same season- wasn't it the same match? 1st game at the KC?

You could be right there mate.

Got off lightly with 2 games.

and v bradford in front of 19k fans!

So, what offence did Horne commit for him to be sin binned?

I rest my case.

RL follower since 1977 by the way

Give it a rest

He got the maximum sanction for the grade of offence. Rather than reckless, it did seem to be intentional, it takes some doing for a 5' 9" tall player to slap a 6' 3" player around the chops without some degree of intent.

But reckless was the charge and although we gain no benefit from his suspension, that's the way it has always been and always will be. My only surprise is that Ganson didn't dismiss Burns. Think back to Moa's dismissal against London, the ref then was about to award a scrum with head & feed to us before he got a shout from the VR. It was only after the VR intervention that Moa even came close to a red card

Which is why Ganson is a joke IMO.

The Hollywood nickname is justified

I will not see far worse, i dont watch the dobbins !!

Glad he got his comeupence . Also Ryan Bailey 4 game ban . Hes the biggest tw@ in super league

I know he did. He got off lightly.

Always been the same its a farce that a player can come off such a lenghty ban from the NRL (for the same offence). Commit an awful tackle with intent and only recieve 2 matches makes a mockery of the system. if he had done this back in OZ he would of recieved a much harsher punishment. we follow everything the NRL does apart from there judicial system which is far better than ours.
