Previous Record which included 2 from 09 season!!!

Ryan Bailey was also charged for an High shot and his record is awful! He was found guilty of hitting the neck - pen sufficient!!

They also state the referee got the decision right pretty sure Mr Bentham made the decision!!
I wouldnt mind if players had already got punished but Elima only got 1 game for an High shot against saints which caused injury!
Going off the back of being told from bentham that hitting the kicker late was a mandatory sin binning then it just being a pen sunday. The whole reffing and discipline set up needs looking and and making more black and white!!

No it's not. You only have to look at the bitching and whining about tackles such as Peacock's on here to see the double standards some people have.



Using your argument it's not football so your argument is null and void.

I know I’ve complained about the Peacock tackle as it shows the inconsistency in punishments for similar offences BUT I don’t think EITHER deserve any sort of ban for these tackles. I certainly wasn’t on here after the Leeds game screaming for Peacock to be banned for two games.

Maybe because Sam Tomkins took it like a man unlike Fakir.



I never said it was football I said it will end up like football.

the strange thing is a was drinking with a super league ref last night and his view was maybe 1 match although if it had been very early in the game sending off sufficient. very suprised at 2 matches and would think wigan would appeal.

but that is from a refs point of view not from the panel

Did Sam need to leave the field with concussion?



So still null and void then.

What does it matter if a player is injured or not?

Because no two incidents are the same and if Coley's high tackle was not as bad as you are making out, Fakir wouldn't have concussion.

So we base sendings off on if an injury has occurred?

Where did I say that?

Coley's was a reckless attack to the head, hence why he got sent off, hence why Fakir got concussion. You don't get concussion unless you get a heavy blow to the head.

Both Coley's and Peacocks tackles made contact with the head which by Child's definition of the rules is a straight red. If one was a tap to the head and the other was a fully fledged blow to it it would make little difference.

Anyway this thread has died a really slow death.

For me it’s a pathetic decision made by an incompetent ref and there is a real worry on my part that the game is going soft. Your opinion seems to be that it’s the worse tackle that’s ever been committed on an RL pitch.

I can’t be ar$ed arguing anymore.

You really are scrapping the bottom of the barrel there.



So where have I implied it was "the worse tackle that's ever been committed on an RL pitch"? Like everyone else who didn't watch the game with their head up their backside I saw it was deserving of a red and given his previous Coley was going to get a ban of some sort. No more, no less.

It never ceases to amaze me how some people seem to be blinded by the cherry and white specs. Even Coley admitted guilt knowing he would get a ban. Obviously he's just being soft as well.

Like i said i really don't care anymore

Obviously.

A positive out of all this is that Coley should be remarkably fresh going into the final rounds of the season plus playoffs, due to missing 4 rounds (3 due to suspension and 1 due to his baby being born).

Hopefully he will put in a strong finish!!

coleys tackle is nothing compared to what happened in the state of origin, i know different rules n all but if coleys tackle is a 2 match ban barrett should never play again its laughable

I'm just watching the SOO match now!

How RL should be played. Some mard $ on here must have had an heart attack watching that.

Far 2 much contact

exactly our refs would have a field day in that game, the penalty count could hit 60 haha, quality game though, shows how far we are behind really

sorry mate but he made direct contact to the head. Intentional or not he hit him high.

then half the teams in the league would be missing a player the week after they play us. how many times does that happen to sam. the obvious one most fans will have seen was peacock, who didnt even get a sin-binning.

Agreed. Read my post again.

Just watched SOO, as a previous post said, great game, ref let them play, our game is still way behind.
Still think 2 games harsh.

Honestly that's exactly how I want to see a game be refereed!!

There were plenty of instances such as offsides, not standing square and headshots that the ref let go and it gave us a free flowing game. I can't remember the last time I saw a SL game that flow like that

Exactly, would be interesting to get Stuart Cummins view on how they ref the game in Oz.

It would be interesting 2 do a ref swap for a month.

Or let's go the whole hog and replace Cummings with the top NRL ref

Replace Cummings with anyone, our ref situation is dire, no competition for places, refs not being able to make decisions without a video ref etc, anyway going off thread a bit
