Utter garbage and the RFL agree with me.

I think consistancy between all refs is never going to happen unless we replace them with robots. Each individual ref is naturally going to have a different oppinion on things.

What annoys me is the same indivdual is often inconsistant from week to week and sometimes during a single game.

your right, and this just adds fuel to the fire that refs referee a game in a certain way depending on who there reffing.
All the refs get together before the season starts for a chat about things, they should be told what to give for different incidents, so they all either send you off for throwing a punch or they all sin bin you, but then i suppose by doing this you are effectively turning them into robots.

Well Buderus gets a 1 match ban! news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 994419.stm So the ref was wrong and he should have been sent off like Tansey??

Wow !! Buderus gets no red card and half the length of suspension for a spear tackle that was much worse than Tansey's !!





What a surprise !!

The RFL havent got the you know whats to give Buderus 2 games cos that would mean he will potentially miss the Grand Final.

How his tackle was different to Tanseys god only knows unless previous record came into play but then that should have been negated by the fact that Tansey was actually sent off!

Slightly OT, sorry but just looked at the RFL disciplinary page and how is Cockend still able to walk onto a RL field?

Off field activities apart he appears 9 times on the page already this season, he has played 23 games so almost every other game that he plays in there is an incident which requires scrutiny by the panel.

where do you get to see the disciplinary page,i would like to read it.cheers.yorkie.

... after the disciplinary panel watched the incident from a different angle.

Bent as a 9 bob note I'd say.

Not to mention the Joel Tomkins kick! Jon Wells on Boots n All has just highlighted that he did a very similar thing the week before against Bradford - end result a caution.

FFS. Disgraceful. Apparently the 'new angle' came from a DVD supplied by Leeds. Must have been one from Gary Hetherington's 'special collection' involving a Judge, as whippet and industrial quantities of lubricant

I have heard it all now, so a new angle showed Prescott not landing on his head did it



The whole thing stinks, the RFL are a complete joke.

with R.F.L headquarters being in leeds,it`s pretty obvious,that they will always go easy on rhinos.

You saying that the RFL have one rule for Leeds and one rule for everyone else?

Dont forget we got Radford off ...for punching someone over and over again while defenceless on the floor



Or do we not moan about that as he is one of ours?

Look at it like for like.

Tansey spear tackle - red card and two games. Buderus gets nothing!

Radford foul play - red card. Tomkins gets nothing.
