I would suggest that like all people, and systems on this planet they are consistantly inconsistant which is why there is change and development in so many things.

Sorry if that's a concept beyond some but that is how life, systems, culture etc., has developed on this planet.

Did chase run in and throw the punch?

They seem to frown on that alot more than standing face to face and having a bit of biff.

Dirty LMS

The OP has a fair point, it is Chases first time up before the disciplinary. There is absolutely no consistency, especially when you see punches thrown week in week out with a penatly being the normal result.

If i was Chase i would feel very hard done by, it does beg the question one rule for one and one for another.

No he didn't, he reacted to something in the tackle (which Cas got a penalty for)

But the worst thing from that match is Diskin leaving Richard Owen down injured after a malicious and thuggish attack with the knees (penalised)...which the RFL let him off with today, and Diskin has previous!

You got a good libel defence lawyer?

What would you call attacking a prone player with the knees then (which also injures the target)?

Bent, this is just one example of it, and it isn't just against Cas, everyone outside a few "top" clubs has to suffer this idiots

Only when the disciplinary panel isn't made up of Phil Clarke's relatives.

It will get reduced to one match on appeal. Chase will miss the crusaders game that cas will win anyway and will be nicely rested for the cuptie the week after. Works out well for them.

reduced to 1 game after appeal with a different panel,

just goes to show how different people view things.

Yep, probably no former Huddersfield player on the panel today (but an ex-Cas player was)

Typical of the RFL in the pocket of Castleford

Best post EVER!!!

Bent

Yeah bias to cas - letting them into super league with their imaginery stadium!!

Although they did boot cas out of super league cos super eague needs a wigan team. We all learning from this yet? No agenda eh?

LMS got 5 games for running in when playing for Quins v the French

Wasn't Radford banned for one game (the play-off game)?
Was Chase sent off as well? Sending off is part of the punishment apparently.

Neither inconsistent or bent.



Just incompetent.

Once a suspension has been given it shouldn't be reversed.

Either the original committee are too strict or the appeal committee are too weak or maybe both

I go for 'both', as it's obvious he should have got 1 and a half games

Tomkins-esque? See WCC for details.

What are the grounds for an appeal? Do you have to have new evidence?

If not I don't see the point of allowing it. It just becomes a way of allowing Warrington to field their banned players for an important upcoming match.

Not sure if I'm honest. I've just had a look on the RFL site and it doesn't mention if there are any grounds for appeal.

From an earlier news article I've just read I think you can appeal whether you have new evidence or not
