not the only one!

I think you're right, both were bad and we would have been crying foul, but I also think that they weren't deliberate. The game moves at a fast pace so the second tackle saw the player driven into the ground but I don't think there was any intent. JtP has it right I reckon:


I expect they'll be banned though.

Depends on whether the RFL want Bradford in the play-offs or not - in my opinion of course.

2 match ban each

Tansey/Tickle 2 games plus £300

FFS

Unbelievable.
You can bet your life if Cunningham had done it he would have no case to answer.

9's tournament counts as one of the games.

We've had so few disciplinaries this season, it's almost as if they're compensating to demonstrate some form of even-handedness in the end of year figures. Good that the Floodlit 9s counts as a round.

Do you think naming them in the nines was a ploy in case of a ban & the RFL saw through it and gave them a 2 match ban?

Or even for managing to get some injured players back we get penalised like this!

The most interesting bit for me was the last paragraph which stated

As Tansey and Tickle were named in Hull FC’s squad for the Carnegie Floodlit 9 prior to the disciplinary hearing, they will be unavailable for Wednesday’s tournament in Leeds and the engage Super League Round 26 fixture at Wigan Warriors on Friday September 4.

At least it shows we may have anticipated this eventuality and tried to minimise the fallout. First time for everything.

every cloud

No I think that the club probably knew the RFL disciplinary system would display blatant inconsistency. That and the fact that neither player is playing in the CC final or has a surname of Cunningham made us name them in the 9's squad to reduce the effect of the inevitable multi-game ban.

funny i cant recall seeing either of there names in it

Shocking decision.

Sadly entirely expected from the buffoons at Red Hall.

Whats shocking about it?

Absolute disgrace, we have nothing to play for so the rfl decide to "make an example". Cowardly.
Out of interest, how many players have recieved multiple game bans this season? Out of SL?

Facking hell, we are never goin to make the playoffs now!

Ive seen far worse incidents given less punishment. One match ...maybe , but two ?.

Have they actually said that? If they have, that's a shocking attitude to take.

Lets be right though, it only amounts to a one match ban

No it is 2 matches, it is just fortunate the 9s take place, which may I remind you is our Grand Final

It's one match really but they just want to fleece you of the fairplay 5 grand
