Trouble is the top four teams supporters wont agree as the game on the whole always sides with their teams

Who's up for a site wide petition to the RFL/Cummings?

count me in but its the whole rfl sadly not just the men in the middle but the men in the shadows

Been saying the same about Cummings for a long time. He's had a big budget and delivered absolutely nothing in terms of improvement in refereeing standard. What an nice cushy number he is on. I am seriously disillusioned from what I have seen this season from officials not just in our games but in others too where I've been neutral.

As for the disciplinary procedure it ought to have improved with the introduction of grading of offences but unfortunately there's still plenty of leeway built in for decisions to be questioned in terms of consistency and bias. I have little doubt that players of some clubs are treated more leniently than others and frankly it stinks.

Which part did he get wrong?

a) ignore the idiot,
b) the hearing isn't until tomorrow
c) it's a Grade A offence

3 out of 3 for my reckoning!!!

There's some overreaction and melodrama on here. If compared to Moa's hit on Rinaldi or Ablett's attempted gouge on Manu, then I can't see what the problem is. Did McGoldrick move the referee or not? The answer is yes. It is a clear offence, clearly stated and has been for years, it's not as if it was only recently introduced.

All the pis[is[/iing and moaning on here or getting a petition up isn't going to do anything. A far better solution would be to construct an intelligent and insightful letter to our Chairman. He and his colleagues ARE in positions of influence and if suggestions for making clear and tangible improvements to the way the game is operated can be made, they'll listen and take the points forward. Especially if there is a perceived danger of losing revenue.

If McGoldrick wanted a ban, he could've done what Rich Codd did to Tommy Senior, now that really was worthy of a ban

Indeed it has. Unfortunately the way it is dealt with, even in the same season, is inconsistent at best and outright biased at worst.

[url=http://therfl.co.uk/disciplinary/item?3406This is why I'm "pis[is[/iing and moaning" - some don't even get banned when charged for the same offence at Grade C level[/url

Hull should appeal without fail - the same arguments used in the Webb grade C case could equally well be applied to McGoldrick.

Standee was berating my initial point that 'Goldie'

would get a one match ban. Hence the response.

Nothing to see here. If you don't push the ref, you don't get banned.

All of the melodrama is a reflection on how the Gentle revolution has flopped, it's got nothing to do with a top four conspiracy. The funny thing is that 'the top four conspiracy' has had such a grip on the game over the last few years that there has actually been a change in the clubs involved. Even Hull were in it for a bit.

Heads up though, 'Goldie' will be fresh when he comes back.

Just Browny

how refreshing

Just wondering....why do you care?

Whats happening at your own club? I wouldnt know cos i dont stalk your board.

Freddy Lee

These are FORUMS and are not exclusive to the team you support, so there is no question of stalking.



You would be more than welcome to comment on 'my' board.

I just thought it was refresshing for Browny to look at the situation through glasses other than those tinted Black and White.

You realise he's not a Hull fan right?

maybe if you brought something constructive to the table instead of little petty jibes you would look less obsessed?

Sorry. I assumed he was a Hull fan as according to Freddy Lee thats what is needed to post on here

Unless you can time travel that's not the assumption you made.

Well spotted Robbo 4.

I meant to say and not as.

Ryan McGoldrick has won his appeal against yesterday's 1 match ban. His suspension has been lifted.

And I should think so too.

Good news, let's hope he makes a difference at the weekend.

At last , Some sense at redhall.

wow at last abit of common sense shown from the powers that be..

Will certainly give us another option for catalans,which is well needed by the sounds of things.
