Quote Marty Grrrrrrrrrr!="Marty Grrrrrrrrrr!"Ive no issue with either player being banned but the severity of them seems too much in my opinion. If both players still played for Wigan would they have got the same length of ban i wonder?
As for Kendall getting a game this week i will tell you exactly why from experience. If you get all the full time refs on a track and tell them to run Kendall will outrun all of them by a long long way. Doesnt matter he cant read or understand the game. Its all based on fitness and Kendall will outrun Thaler, Hicks, Moore and the rest by a distance everyday of the week and that is what refereeing appointments are based on.'"

Come on Marty, being fit is one thing, turning a blind eye to what went on is another. I would not trust this ref with a kids game, he must have shocking eyesight to miss what happened. the video ref who had time to re run both incidents, he must have been watching other things because between both refs they did not have a clue. I don't think it even went on report.
The disciplinary team had no hesitation in handing out bans of 6 and 8 matches, so they thought it was serious. So did the Sky team both during the game and after the game. if we accept behavior on the field like these two idiots the game is no longer fit for purpose. I am glad the season is over for Leeds, we have won the CC, but if these two would have received their marching orders during the game, then playing with 13 men against 11 the score would have been a lot closer. The disciplinary team are all from over the border in Lancashire, they got no favoritism from the disciplinary team and rightly so.
Their coach comes in for criticism, nothing between his ears, a thug of a player when he played and he hasn't changed.
If this is what rugby league is coming to then the game is never going to expand. This is the game I love, I do not enjoy Union, however we need to take a leaf out of their book and start to make the game safer and cleaner. If these two were in Union, both would have been sent off and given their bans respectively.
