£500 fine for free speech. Pfft!

Worth every penny.

anyone checked ebay as yet?

Keith has got 3 items on ebay actually!

A polo shirt from WCC

A signed program from WCC

And his "Squad Access" pass from the WCC

Come on leeds fans poor little keith needs help with this mammoth fine!

Should start a collection to help pay it off. Think many supporters will be thinking its worth every penny to be honest!

If I were the Leeds captain I would issue a press statement supporting the RFL's decision, supporting Richard Silverwood but stating that all the players were clubbing together to pay Keith's fine and NO players would be available to speak to the media in the aftermath of any game from this point forward.

Time to get a siege mentality going.

Agree, not sure the RFL would be be too kind about it tho, but what can they do i suppose? Plus it would be the fans that suffer, unless they only put the coaches comments and player interviews on the Rhino official website.

I dont know why Leeds speak to the media anyway, all they do is get written off every year. It seems all Leeds do year after year is aim to prove the media and the so called 'experts' [iAHEM Schofield [/i wrong.

Not sure about not speaking to the media but the other part - making it clear that the club implicitly supported Senior's statement - would be fun.

Didn't Graham Murray cop a similar fine about 10 years ago, when he said something about a ref ?

So much for inflation, eh ?

Like the terms 'pony' and 'Monkey', I guess we're now going to have a 'Keef'.

And how much is a Keef ? About five hundred quid ....

Which club is going to supply the first poster to suggest the RFL favour us and had it been one of their players they would have got a 3 match ban/life imprisonment/execution etc? I'm going for Wakey!

should pay for Stuart's next few trips to France, unfortunately one of them will be our game over there

I'd simply issue the same press statement every week, "We're happy with our performance but have highlighted several areas for focussed improvement which we'll be working on during the week, thank you gentlemen".

I think thats what they do now actually.

I'll go Cas

Give over. Cas have hardly been on here. Only Wakey really have the "know nowtness" to come on and get paranoid over it.

We already do that in Phil Dalys write ups in the YEP, same thing everytime just the players name, opposition and places change to suit.

Well wakey have been my favourites, I considered Wigan as they seem to troll our boards a fair amount, but don't have the small club inferiority complex that Cas do

The fine has been paid by Senior.

It came directly out of his e-bay account.

Indeed.

It was actually quite refreshing to get an honest opinion in the immediate aftermath of a game.

What is need is a code-word or phrase.
So that when a player says something like "Mr Ganson gave his usual exemplary performance and I am certain that the lop-sided penalty count was no-one's fault but our own, let no-one think otherwise" ... we know it means he was totally gash.

I would be happy with a couple of jokes and a few Mr T or Chuck Norris facts from Bluey, why do they always have to talk about rugby.

In a DoubleAone styleee -



We can just refer them to the operational rules of the RFL, which clearly guide the misconduct board towards a fine, rather than suspension. They can't even really argue about the level of fine, because there apparently is (although not a public document on the web) a 'level of fines guide' laid down that the RFL follow!

It depends whether they have rules to cover representatives, coaches and/or players being required to attend post match press conferences or not.

Some sports, I believe, have such rules but I've no idea if the RFL have.
