The Virtual Terrace • Easter disciplinary
What’s the point?
The match review panel have reviewed and banned players- Players wont actually be banned until next week and will be free to play on Monday so as to give them chance to appeal. Those who are to go to tribunal can also play. Ok fair enough I understand the necessity to allow an appeal….. So why bother doing it now?
Why not just review all the matches after the Easter period.
It’s just yet another example of amateur behaviour from the RFL.
It p*sses off fans when players who “should” be banned are actually playing against their side, potentially playing a part in a match winning try. Instead of penalising teams it gives them an unfair advantage and a bit of a heads up in a congested fixture period where they know a player isn’t going to be playing next week so will play them this week and give a different player a rest in their place on Monday.
Stupid idea.
