How is it that Michael McIlorum gets sent off for punching Elima in the face (surely an attack to the head?), has had previous sendings off on his record and gets away without a ban for an early guilty plea, yet TP with no prior red cards on his record hits somebody with his shoulder and will still get a match ban (even with a guilty plea)?

Not sure how it works but surely that is wrong?? What message does that send out, punch people and its OK but get a shoulder charge wrong and we ban you for 2 games??

Ridiculous and once again shows a lack of consistency by the RFL!!

1) When were these sending offs?

2) Then your post is self explanatory.

He got sent off against Saints a few years ago.

He did in 2008.
Hence he was allowed the early guilty plea in 2012.

If it had happened in the last twelve months he would not have been allowed it.

As I said on page 2 of this thread, let the disciplinary sort it out, they are neutral.

It wasn't even a shoulder charge. It was a block. Mounis ran at TP. TP was still.

It's also ok to knock someone out with a swinging arm, as Sinfield did to Makinson when we played them at Leeds, causing Makinson to be carried off. That was just a penalty.

All this inconsistency is making the game look corrupt, when you compare the shoulder charge tackle of Ryan Bailey who is 3rd man in jumping 2 feet off the ground into Big Mauries head.
TP who stands his ground and leads with the shoulder on impact, if the club feels there is no case to answer then they should plead not guilty and take the video of the Ryan Bailey flying shoulder charge as a comparitive standard.

Typical RL , Turner gets smacked in the mouth has to leave the field and the ref doesnt even give a penalty . Contact with the face????

I thought same thing.

Sky make me laugh, they basically just said its fine to hit around the head with a fist but not off a shoulder charge.

Re: Puletua sending Off : Mon Jul 23, 2012 7:55 pm  

I thought that as well.

Only Clarke pointed out the inconsistency.

Re: Puletua sending Off : Mon Jul 23, 2012 8:59 pm  

Mind you Clarke can't really harp on about consistancy, start of this game he says the hull derby at Manchester was his favourite this season. Start of the Catalan's match he says the Saints Catalan game at LP was his favourite this season.

Funny thing is it was the video ref that sent off TP on Friday, yet today the same Video ref did not get a say.
