It will because he should just take it on the chin and learn. The club are reinforcing poor behaviour by appealing. His is actually the only ban I agree with from latest round!

And so it passed

By all accounts he was way over the top with Grant ......any talk of union is bollox.....he'd get the same or more in the RU Prem

Can't agree with that, although I tend to agree with most things you say. What Harry needs to do is get his head down, stay fit and improve his game in all aspects. He's played less than 30 games in three years. He certainly doesn't need anybody in his ear about the NRL or RU. It would be a terrible shame if he started to buy into the hype before he begins to achieve his potential. He needs some discipline not indulgence.

Good points well made

I wonder where he gets his seeming inability to accept responsibiity for his actions from. Nice one dad.

If he thinks his son's performance wouldn't have led to a ban in Union or the NRL he is deluded. Genuinely, I haven't seen a player be so constantly OTT with a ref throughout a game for a long time - there are degrees of protesting with a ref and Newman was right at the wrong end of the scale IMO.

I genuinely couldn't believe it when Leeds appealed - it seemed a slam dunk extra match ban to me.

Must admit i thought he might regret saying that his Dad, probably a heat of the moment thing but it's not helpful.

I don't have an issue with a ban. My issue is with a judiciary that generally reacts to being questioned by increasing a ban. Courts don't do that - if you've got grounds for an appeal they listen. They may reject the appeal but you don't get an increased penalty for questioning the decision. That is definitely kangaroo court territory.

I do have issues with the number and duration of bans generally. A red card is a big punishment early in the game, and sin bins generally hurt teams as well. The number and duration of bans being handed out this year suggests its world war three and yet the game has never been cleaner. Bizarrely I would argue Tetevano's ban is too short - I thought his tackle was awful and deliberate.

Agree with that.
Newman 1 game and the club doesn`t appeal.
Tetevano at least 8 games considering his previous bans.
3 games for Newman for a first offence is ridiculous imo.
Has the ref been demoted yet for this weeks games?

I thought the ref was poor on the night. I often think that when I am at games, but then my opinion changes when I watch a replay. What, in your opinion, did he specifically wrong?

Tom Grant no game this weekend!

He should not get one for a few more weeks for the no try video ref decision at H.K.R that he gave

Actually fair enough. I was toying with watching some of the game back. What was I thinking?
