You put your arm where Atkins was and then think that there is someone twisting it - normal range of motion or not it could injure you. It was a clear bit of fowl play that nobody seem to question when given a ban. well apart from Saints that is. The way it has subsequently been handled by the RFL is an absolute farce. For example there's no actual ruling, what happened did it get downgraded to a grade A, did the whole thing get thrown out because the appeal was flawed, I don't know why Saints fans are getting al uppity people are having a go at the RFL not Saints.

So a 2 match ban just got wiped out to 0 because a third opinion ruled that the opinion of the ref, video ref, MRP and another appeal panel was all incorrect.

You don't think that's incompetence by the RFL?
Actually, it was the first appeal panel that ruled that the evidence saints presented was correct. They just decided to uphold the ban anyway for some reason. The second appeal panel was like actually if you accept the evidence then you can't uphold the ban.
I don't give a toss about the opinion of the original MRP, they've been getting everything wrong all season. They're poop
The only reason they look up to you is because they chose to kneel.
