It's a case of the disiplinary commitee having to justify their exsistence me thinks.



Opps no one cited by the ref,s quick charge some one with something before we are reduced in numbers.



Moore ban a joke

Tuson ban a joke

This will be a joke too.

I've not kept track on them all but there have been a fair few call ups for incidents that have been much ado about nothing this year.







Will be interesting to see this years discipline record SL wide compared to last year. and how that has lead to more minor incidents leading to bans.





If we banned everyone for high shots, then we'd have no matches next weekend.

The frustrating aspect is that they don't pick up on the more serious incidents. It'll be interesting to see how Saints defend this charge. I'd be tempted (By a shotgun

) to go in with as many counter claims as possible and show how each of them are comparable and demand sense. Grade B is an automatic ban, given its a Saints player so why not? Or prepare fully and come up with a whole catalogue of inconsistencies, like Perry being banned for an air punch and Joel Tomkins being allowed to wade in throwing punches everytime someone tries to 'do' his brother. He's done that several times this season.



One does wonder though if he's been cited by Warrington. Smith's comments about Graham controlling the game and intimidating his side were classic mind control comments and no doubt he'll get sent off next time he questions a decision as well.

We'll do what we want.

Maybe it's the one where Mozz got poked in the eye, which was the reason he never came back on .

I have some sympathy for you on the LMS thing, I'll have a look at it later and maybe it does merit the charge, but there's certainly scope for more than he to have been called before the RFL, so from a pure consistancy prospective I see why you're up in arms.



Just on the Graham thing, I'd like to see him sin binned every time he does that. (the screaming at the ref). I felt Smith was right to highlight it. We get a lot of praise from non RL followers for our respect of officials, more respect than the sort of 'actual game' gets, and to my knowledge there is only he in SL who consistantly and with such aggression reacts like that to referees, I would sin bin him for it, no doubt. I think all SL referees are extremely leniant towards him.

This.



Smith came across as a righty whiny weesel in that interview. Andy Wilson does a good piece on it in League Weekly. Bless, his poor little boys lost control of the game thanks to that Real Man who is James Graham, who intimidated the ref into giving all those penalties to Saints!

Going in like that with a name like Louis McCarthy-Scarsbrook, he's more likely to get the hunting ban overturned.

In terms of sounding like a whiny weasel, you have that nailed.

your muppetry knows no bounds.

All what penalties???





It was 13 - 12 to warrington. That's about as even a penalty count as you can get.



An to be fair Royce was not altogether happy with the decisions either although he did not go as far as Tony in basically implying something improper from the other side.



If it gets to it that clubs are going to cite other clubs or try to get players banned, it will become a tit for tat venture that will lead the SL into a place it really should not go. Next time we play wire. More than likely in a playoff, maybe Royce will try a similar tactic at the end and get a few wire names off the next game in the playoffs, which would just so happen to be a knock out game if we play each other in the 1st round.



I'm sure we could get a few 1 match bans if we cite every opposing player, simply by the law of averages.

All well & good, apart from the fact that you'll be out of the playoffs before you get the opportunity to play us or any of the top 4.

Stains fans complaining that somebody from the opposition got their player banned? I think they seem to forget Wilkin complaining to the Ref against W*gan at Millennium and getting Lima banned...
