Sammut got 2 games for something the ref didn't even put on report.

Connor needs to learn to keep his mouth shut to the officials.
If he swore at the Ref , then he deserves a ban imo .

Take your black and white specs off. It has nothing to do with what the RFL want but upholding the relationship between officials and players. Disciplinary punishments are often different to instant on pitch decisions.

Excellent player that Connor is he always has to niggle and try to provoke the opposition as well as continually mouth off at officials. He really should stick to what he is really good at. He should leave the backbiting to players of lesser skills who are desperate to make their mark.

Agreed!

i don't see a problem winding players up, but hes got to learn about talking back to refs, my gripe is others get away with chirping at the ref all the time , Tompkins etc

Think its telling him to F off got him the ban. Agree on the niggling players always in the ear though

Needs to be cut out of the game,

It’s what and how it is said that can get players into trouble.

Can't see the club appealing the ban ,if that's what he said to the ref.

They already have,appeal to be dealt with tomorrow night

Interesting comment by Radford on the subject tonight...Basically saying he shouldnt miss the first Derby due to being a big game, but if he doe's its his own fault.

Was it Radford that said it would be his own fault or is that you saying that?

I don't know what he said to the ref but if it's true that he told him to F off then I have no issue at all with a 1 match ban and feel we have some cheek appealing it tbh. Disrespect of referees needs to be stamped out. The abuse they get on the terraces (mostly from people who couldn't tell their a*** from their elbow) is terrible, and what chance do we have if the players and coaches can't even set an example?

As big a fan as I am of Connor he needs to just take this on the chin and be smarter in the future.
