Lunt - Grade A for the tackle on Watts
Allgood - Grade B Deliberate contact with referee
Carney - Grade B - Lifting and dropping player
Jullien - Grade A - Same as Lunt but on Gadwin Springer

No charges for Washbrook or Taylor

How the hell is Lunt's tackle counted as the same severity as Watts' so-called 'dangerous contact' incident last week?

Ludicrous.

Good that that allgood one is in there, any touching of the ref should be a ban, its disrespectful and undermines their authority by violating their space. I think it was said in commentary at the time that in the nrl that would be an immediate sending off and ban so we will see.

Or for Carlos.

Cant believe Lunt is only on a NFA-1 Grade A charge though just shows what a farce the Disciplinary is when Allgood is on a 1-2 Grade B for touching the ref. Yes I know a player should never touch an official and rightly should cop a ban but it wasn't a vicious attack or any chance of causing injury more just stupidity but Lunt could have seriously injured Watts, and he certainly showed intent by having 2 goes at doing it.

Surprised on the Lunt one, thought it would be a B and feared a C. I don't go with the causing an injury means more, thats just luck. If it had been the other way round I'd have been calling for more.

Taylor's was never a ban, penalty for contact with the head (as seems the norm now) and nothing more.

Allgood touched the ref but I've seen that go unmentioned plenty of times before but now its been brought up that'll be a ban

Pity Campese wasnt charged for 80 mins of continual wittering on like an old woman.

It does seem a bit wrong that Allgood gets B and Lunt gets A. I understand the importance of respecting the referee, but it wasn't like he assaulted him in any way. He put his hand on his shoulder, personally I would be more bothered about the way he was shouting at him than the fact he touched him.

agree with most of that but contact with the ref needs nipping in the bud before it becomes a problem, regardless of which club's players are involved. in general a minimum 2 game ban would help in this area with no exemptions for EGP (its more of a conduct/dissent issue than foul play). but i agree with you that it needs to be applied consistently.

Indeed. Worth mentioning that it can be a sending off in the UK as well, so he was lucky in that respect.
