The lack of consistency from the RFL is beyond a joke now. Wigan player before a semi final does it = no charge and no ban. Catalans player with time to go before the play offs does it = Grade C charge.

I honestly don't know what else you expected. Leeds and Wigan are always given special dispensation by the disciplinary panel.

Actually just seen the punch up again and ok LMS waded in to sort it out, but Simon threw the first punch as he did not like the tackle and losing the ball. So I would say evens for both players.

Watch it again, my Girlfriend who hates rugby league noticed it. Its actually Stuart Howarth who throws the first punch, he punched the catalans player in the tackle who gets up thinking its Walmsley who did it.

I noticed this. Howarth, so excited at forcing the turnover, gets carried away. It looks like he gets caught in two minds between punching the air and rubbing the guys head and ends up giving him a tap, which he took exception to.

Wouldn't say it's a punch, more of a shove that Simon shouldn't have reacted to.

Simon and LMS both submitted EGP and got no ban, no word on Taia as of yet.

BONUS.

With that kind of positive outcome things must be starting to go for us.

Shade of 2008 when LMS had a right old tear up in Perpignan. 'Ave it son!
