grade c charge-pleaded guilty 1 game!

whilst i predicted this its still a farce and shows how the disciplinary panel is bent as a 9 bob note

Ah Van got 5 games for a tackle that was not as bad and not as intentional.
Pretty typical tbh, it was this type of head strike that the RFL banned shoulder charges for, it's ridiculous that the severe end of the scale like this is punished in such a fashion

Entirely predictable. Ben Flower's reduction in tariff sets the Wigan precedent.

Justice has been served

Not worth even arguing about as

It's not going to change and the inconsistency of the RFL is one of the factors that are ruining the game

And

This type of thread will just attact knobs like Gareth.

How very rude!

Of course the exlempary record exists largely as a result of his and his club's inflated status which prevents on and off field officials penalising or citing him for his many misdemeanours , notably high shots , which other players are done for as a matter of course. It stinks and is laughable. It was a bad tackle and his status in fact warrants him being made an example of to ensure the right message is put out to "lesser" players and the process is seen to be fair.

Make your mind up......

on the Wakefield forum.

Justice has been served in him only getting a 1 game ban.......
