The whole RFL Disciplianary system is a joke.



I was worried about Hock getting a ban as he did sort of punch a Bradford player in the 58th minute. Didn't Hauraki punch a Harlequins player on Saturday as well?



It will be a total injustice if Hansen is banned - but the influence that Hetherington and a certain Tony Smith allegedly seem to wield with the RFL should not be underestimated ( how many times have Leeds and Warrington players escaped bans despite seemingly more serious offences?). It wouldn't surprise me if H. gets a 2 game ban to keep him out of the Warrington game as well!



Will H.'s "previous good disciplinary record" be taken into consideration as was the case with Ryan Bailey and Lee Radford?!! This didn't prevent Tuson being banned for an equally innocuous tackle.

Don't forget the judiciary banned Chris Tuson for absolutely nothing earlier in the season so nothing is beyond them. If he does get one match I fear for Leeds as it will fire the rest of the lads up good and proper.

Nothing on the RFL website yet but if McGoldrick does not get called up or Lynch or Sykes or Hock then it will be a disgrace.

The really worrying aspect is doesn't Lenegan expect our players to plead guilty or is it that he never lets them appeal i'm sure there's something Lenegan prevents or expects something regarding disciplinary.

Think Joel appealed for his ban from the Hull game.

don't worry. No one gets banned for the CC Final (hardly ever)



in other news though, just to help keep the score down and to keep the casual BBC armchair RL fans interested throughout, the RFL have instructed Bentham to award the first 6 penalties to Leeds and for Childs and Hicks to disallow your first 5 trys for imaginary forward passes

Many a true thing said in jest.

Just watched it he went to grip round the head but didn't, He then gripped round his shoulders and body goes forward as Lynch goes down nothing in it at all

"RFL(eeds) in citing Wigan player before Cup Final against Leeds" shocker...!!!!





Bent as fook.

That statement is as far fetched as someone saying Hansen will get cited for a tackle in the 25th minute of the Bradford game, oh wait a minute??

Hansen will miss the final. There are dark forces at work here and the fact they have found something to charge a Wigan player for means he is certain to be banned on a technicality.

That's another thing - I'm more worried about Bentham and Ganson than I am the Leeds team. Some may accuse me of paranoia, but nothing would surprise me - a string of penalties to give Leeds all the possession and territory and I will not be at all surprised if a Wigan try gets disallowed by Ganson for "obstruction", whereas any Leeds "try" is allowed to stand.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Hauraki was fighting with a Harlequins player on Saturday. Presume this has just been ignored (on the advice of match adjudicator Hary Getherington)...
