Grade A offence along with Dragons Simon. Taia charged with Grade C offence, all 3 have EGP available. Thoughts?

When you land one as flush as that you're always going to end up with some sort of punishment. EGP is the way forward, I'd say.

Early guilty and he'll get sin bin sufficient or at worst one match and miss the Broncos game.

Taia should get 4 games.

Simon nothing.

About to see it on Super League Fulltime. I'm glad Louie's standing up, as mentioned above, and his form's really picking up too.

Copped him well! Walmsley wasn't shying away either, good to see a bit of fire.

Should he not just save his EGP and just take the one match ban? Might need it for the playoffs!

He can't do that though.

Early Guilty Plea

A Player who has:

 been charged with an Offence of Grade A-C; and
 who has not been found guilty of any other charge of on field misconduct before the Tribunal, or by submitting a previous Early Guilty Plea, in the 12 months preceding the date of the Match in which the alleged Offence took place; and
 who has not been permanently sent from the field in a Match in the 12 months preceding the date of the Match (unless subsequently found not guilty of such an offence).


So if he goes to tribunal and gets guilty he loses the EGP.

Fair enough!

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.
