How can Joel Tomkins get away with kicking out in 38th minute on McGuire.

I'll be sulking for years if we get through and Saints don't choose us irrespective of Leeds' woes.

your joking...he got away with that???seems to me the rl want wigan at old trafford....it stinks

Just shows the inconsistencies of the RFL disciplinary panel

They'll appeal it.


Silly. He plays for Wigan.

Ridiculous decision.

Buderus' spear tackle was accidental, caused by momentum

Yet a kick to the body is deemed to be nothing

I'm sure i heard Alibert clear that one up when we heard his mic during the commentary, i think he said something like this "Push, push, he just push him away with his knee".

Its like the week before, Lee Radford was just pushing Ryan Bailey away with his fist. No wonder the RFL took no further action, if people watched the games closer you would see these little things.

Oh dear same offence, as Buderus, hang on though he plays for Wigan so we can't ban him....... should be inserted into the decision

Seems if you play for Wigan you get away with anything, as said in previous post the RFL must really want Wigan at Old Trafford.
Added to the fact the Tomkins brothers have taken cheating to a new level, McGuire must coach them that if you can't beat them with rugby win by cheating to get penalties so Richards can kick the goal, he imported this culture from his previous club.

Ok rant over Come on the Wire on Saturday.

The Luaki one for Hull on Saturday night was far worse. He simply lifted the player up, turned him upside down and dropped him on the floor. Far worse than anything Buderus did. They'll appeal it.

Have a look at this article from the Yorkshire evening post and look around the 4th paragraph, where it says who the panel was made up of. www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/r ... 6532294.jp

no surprise there then, cheating toe rags

And ofc there was no bias there

Tansey got sent off and a 2 game ban for Hull the other week for the same offence. No consistency.

What happened to that woman that was supposedly head of the disciplinary?

The Tansey one was far worse, deserved more than 2 matches. Budeerus realised what was happening, pulled out of the tackle and immediately apologised.

Not a very appropriate appointment however you look at it. Mind you if Hull KR turn Wigan over, which to me is not beyond the realms of possibility, this ban may well do us a favour.

I sincerely hope the leniency shown towards Wigan players has no connection to who is on that panel. Outrageous.

The way Rovers played on Saturday I wouldn't be surprised to see them visit the Piedome and leave with the right result.

The problem with Buderus' tackle was as the mentioned on Sky on Saturday was that Leuluai let go of Prescott's upper body leaving Buderus who was obviously trying to lift him, on his own. When Leuluai dropped off the result was almost inevitable. Fine yes, ban no.

Buderus also made sure he landed with his forearm on Prescott's head.

In one way the panel have always been highly consistent...if you play for Wigan, you are much more likely to get away with it. Been that way as long as I can remember.

It's just a shame that, try as they might, they could not help Hock.

what is the point of banning players if they're gonna lift it virtually every time buderus is now cleared to play

I agree in principle, but this the right outcome. Buderus didn't deserve a ban.

Now I'm off into town to push someone in the head with my knee

Make sure its only minimal contact
