Im sure Hock got less matchs when he pushed the ref, think the RFL should release the transcript, if it's that bad fair enough, but I can't imagine anything he said warrants that kind of ban, unless he used discrimination language in any way.

The only time you hear anything is when Carlos goes to speak to Kendal and you can just hear Kendal say 'dissent' and that's about it. It's to be hoped the any recordings / transcripts are available to club which show a grade F is justifiable, as unless Griffin used derogatory terms or some extreme language F seems excessive. Would calling Kendal a joke be classed a Grade F in all seriousness?
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
Questioning the integrity - I read as accused him of being a cheat ? That’s all he had to say, don’t need to swear at him to question his integrity. Hopefully plead guilty, learn from it and move on.

Seeing as Kaide Ellis' offence has been graded as D then perhaps Griffin would have been better advised to have stuck the nut on Kendal rather than question his integrity............ just saying
It just shows the disparity in grading for offences when a head butt is considerably less of a grading all things considered. I just hope that whatever was actually said by Griffin and the whole process of the tribunal there is total transparency.

If the club thought there was any mileage in appealing i think they would but they know the facts he has no defence

If that is what was actually said then I'm sorry but that does not warrant a grade F charge.
If this is the situation then it just sums up how out of touch Kendal is with the game and lacks any ability to effectively communicate with players in game situation when tempers, adrenaline and occasions are high. All he had to do to calm the situation down was talk to the player instead of being unapproachable like he was as though he is above everyone.

My mate around the club has said that as far as he’s aware griffin said he felt that that saint fans were influencing Kendall too much and when he got yellow he said something around “loving joke”
