The MRP are a joke really
Grade E is preposterous considering there was clearly no intent in it. Also 2 games for an accidental head clash? Ridiculous. 1 game for the elbow is fair (although did someone say it’s not even for that?)
It’s just dumb, and it’s crazy how conditioned to players getting banned we have become that people are just accepting bans in general. Realistically the only ban we should see from this game is Byrne, only as an automatic ban for a straight red and not even because I think it deserves a ban in isolation
I’d much rather just scrap the MRP entirely and use a similar system to football with cards triggering an automatic ban rather than this nonsense every week. I’m not sure what it’s supposed to be achieving? Have high tackles reduced since the MRP started banning people for it last year? Certainly doesn’t seem so to me, so not exactly the deterrent they’re saying it is. All it’s doing is killing the sport and effecting match results needlessly. RL is a tough sport and teams have loads of injuries to deal with in a season without all these suspensions as well
The only reason they look up to you is because they chose to kneel.
