I couldn't confidently say either way. Personally I hope both are there against Wigan for a better match, and taking it case by case like children ("well such and such did this!"icon_wink.gif doesn't really work as the RFL don't understand the meaning of precedent, and saying it's rugby not wendyball isn't really poinient either as that is just a promotion of thuggery which puts people off the game, and also tends to be incredably hypocritical. Interesting to see how it goes, but overall like I said I wouldn't be suprised to see nothing done, and equally if they both got 2+ match bans.

If the RFL go through every game and can instigate fines, bans that just undermines the work of the ref and linesmen what it the point in giving the ref the choice of putting the players on report or not if they are going to review games anyway plain stupid



Gaz and Mozz will play next week

Equally we could say the refs are only human, and nobody can hide from the camera, and justice can be served. Its like not arresting someone because the Police Officer hadn't seen it.

Really can't believe the fuss about the Morley tackle. He flew out of the line and was comitted to the tackle. His arm wasn't high at all and Sherwin was at a wierd angle as he'd passed it that second.

I think that if Morley had intended to take him out then Sherwin wouldn't have gotten up.

When does the panel who decide whether a player should be sited or not sit?
My neighbour seems to think it is today so if we don't hear nothing by the end of today does this mean both are in the clear?

Morley shouldn't get a ban, Jason Hooper got away with the same thing for years. As for Carvell, i don't think there was any malice, he looked like he was just trying to bump him off, it looked worse than it was, when slowed down on the replays.

If one of them did get banned though, i'd rather it was Carvell, as Moz always seems up for it against Wigan, and he always hammers Fielden with a big hit.

And then had to retire because of a shoulder injury.

Have they both been cited? How does it work these days?.. I thought we get to know prior to the hearing if they have a case to answer or not?

I thought so too but on the website its just got it after they have reviewed it.

Agreed, if Moz does get a ban, the happiest person in Wigan will be S Fielden! if Morley isn't playing, i can see it lifting Fielden and him having a decent game.

oh well, Moz'll have to have a word with Harrison and tell him to keep big Stu in check!! (or mabe even 'The Axe'!!)

They usually give it out sometime on the monday when people are in front of the panel on a tuesday, should find out sometime today who is up. Just been reading the definitions of each incident and from what I saw Morley would be looking at either a reckless or malicious strike to the head Grade C, which carries a ban of 1-4 matches and Carvell would be looking at reckless or malicious striking to the head with forearm or elbow whilst in possession of the ball, also a grade C so also a ban of 1-4 matches. 1 or 2 games for each of them would be deserved in my opinion.

that would be a first.

Both will probably be banned imo. For me Mozzers was a nothing challenge but Carv's was pretty poor use of the forearm. He approached Jackson with his arm in the correct position then moved it to a 90 degree angle and used it to clobber him.
If Moz gets a ban it will be for one of two reasons. 1. It's Morley 2. We play the Pie munchers on Saturday. It'll be even better to beat them at the HJ (again) with them missing.

I'd rather someone jabbed me with their ball carrying arm whilst lying on the floor than take a 10 metre run up and swinging arm me in the side of the head after the ball has gone.

Maybe it's just me.

On the other hand I imagine Mr Sherwin is reasonably happy not to have to sit on the sidelines for several weeks suffering from a fractured eye socket............or maybe its just me?

You mean like Stosic who played the next week without a fractured eye socket? So yes, it's just you.

Anyway, suppose we'll see. I like Moz and his biff, but that struck me as a bad one. Believe me, I want him to play against Wigan but I can't see how that can't be a ban - he followed through with a stiff arm.

Or 3. it was a deliberately malicious, head high attack on a player off the ball

That was also my opinion regarding Carvell although one of your fellow posters on here accused me of talking garbage.
I don't think there was much wrong with the Morley tackle, a little late, certainly a penalty, maybe a sin bin but not worthy of a ban.

Spot on mate. Can't speak for other Wire fans though.

Carvell is looking at 2-3 games and Moz 1-2 games, Called this afternoon to RFL

If that's true thats hampered our best start to the season in a decade.

With Wigan and then Huddersfield next up, that will be two losses and then we have Crusaders which should be a win. That would give us 6 out of a possible 10 points. Which i would suspect would be the same as Leeds point total after 5 games.

That is the bans that they get from the grading if found guilty

So you rang the RFL and they told you what bans the players were getting before the players themselves were told.
