The ref Chris Kendall, who has a habit of hearing things no one else does, clearly stated “I don’t know what I heard” The match replay doesn’t hear anything over his mic. It’s down to another player yards away who gets involved. The player involved doesn’t react. Let’s wait and see before you put him in the pillory. Another Dobbins troll posting from afar MEH.

In a court of law, typically, he said she said doesn't result in a conviction? Can't see why it would be different in this case, unless a London player was wearing a hidden mic

Play acting in a game, however much a despise it, is way different to randomly making up an opposition player said something discriminatory and went to the effort of their club giving evidence to get them banned.

Yer did you notice EseEse rolling around early doors against London trying to milk a hip drop, clutching his ankle, then carried on as normal when the penalty didn't come.


Sad times now all clubs have players trying their luck.

Not guilty, Meadows or whoever accused him should face some punishment, could ruin a players career that kind of false allegation.

As I was saying, Herman is due an apology by London & our fans that automatically had him as guilty. Turns out players do make things like this up.

Here is one who owes him an apology.

Maybe not believing victims is the way? Or at least waiting until the case is heard? Turns out he did make it up.

The accusing player should face a hearing , Preferably for his ears and then on to the disciplinary for trying to get Ese Ese sent off . Dirty tactic .

But it does happen sometimes doesn’t it?

On about play acting or similar things…did anyone notice the wire player who put his hands in the air to indicate to the ref 10 mins for Davies after he held Thewlis down..I’d have binned him as well.

As for the London player….he should be banned and the club fined as they was supporting his claim..out of interest…who did the enhanced recording…us or the rl?

It just says a specialist sound engineer so I'd have though somebody independent from both parties .

Good that this new evidence has come out. Not nice that he has had to go through it. I'd like to think the London played misheard rather that doing it maliciously but you never know

Great news about Herman. Our best player this year by a long way and couldn't imagine how bad our pack would have been without him leading it.
This guy in a Wigan shirt surrounded by the players have have would be absolutely unspottable.

Am I mistaken but wasn’t it the London player Meadows, that made the accusation.
He didn’t play against the dobbins , i did wonder if he was injured.
We don’t know what was picked up by the engineers recording but whoever it was needs to be held accountable
“ if it contradicts “ the allegation.
Rugby players are becoming more like footballers.
Play acting , feigning injury .
Kr players constantly throwing their arms up in the air every tackle. Now this false accusation.
We’ve even got fc players pretending to be rugby league players.
Crazy times.

Let's hope Herman receives a full apology from the media, Sky sports, London and especially that prat Jon Wells, throwing around unfounded accusations without a shred of evidence. Won't hold my breath though.

It's not even made the super league socials, but had he got a ban it would have been straight on there. Seems people are trying to brush it under the carpet now he's been found not guilty.

London now released a statement stating they will seek legal advice.

London now doubling down and saying they're seeking legal advice and that they're still back their player.
The evidence in support of Ese'ese must be pretty concrete if the RFL have fully dropped all charges.

Wonder if they’ll ask Hudgell?

Legal advice about what? It's the operational rules of a sport

Legal advice for what? They seem a little desperate to have one of our best players banned.

Yep on waiting until the case is heard. Glad justice has prevailed and it was taken seriously by going to a hearing.

Still don’t believe he made it up, though. He’s obviously misheard something, but is adamant he has heard something, because London are taking it to court. Doubt they would go to such lengths on a player making up something just to get an opposing player banned.

Hopefully the clear evidence clears it up for him and London and Herman gets the apology he deserves.

Very rarely.

The player must truly believe he heard something is obviously mistaken. Doesn’t mean he made it up, just means he’s wrong.

Right decision to take it to a hearing, but now Herman deserves a full apology. Looks like it’s going to drag on a bit, though.

Another page in the calamity of a story this season already is.

If the player concerned misheard Herman then that's, I guess, understandable for it can happen in the heat off the game but then for him to be backed up by several of his team mates who said they heard it as well is pretty despicable for me. As for going to a lawyer it's a ruling of a proffesional sporting organisation who have completely exonerated our player. Very very poor by London talk about acting in the spirit of the game they should as a club be censored. We get more like football every week. So saddening.
