You are quite correct however I do feel there is some inconsistency being applied. I've seen similar types of late hits in the televised games not being punished. There's other players hitting late.

The stat I saw the other week was there had been 8 players banned and 4 were from Saints.

Be interesting to see how Saints go tonight, if they don't put 40+ on Wakey at home the pitchforks will be out over the lump

It's a conspiracy.

Clearly you're being a bit daft here but I can give you two recent examples of poor decisions.

Lees gets sinbinned during the Leigh game (during which time Leigh score 2 tries) and then the MRP don't even reference that in their minutes, effectively saying there was nothing wrong with it. He actually gets charged with a separate offence, of which there was no further action on the field.

During the Hudds game, Lomax is taken late by Ashworth and is given a green card for it. Ashworth stays on the field however is then retrospectively charged after the game, again showing that the ref got it wrong at the time. Had Lomax not been a tough bugger and if he stayed down like Myler does then Ashworth would've been sinbinned no question. Instead we are penalised for this.

These examples don't even include the last minute shoulder charge against Leeds of which Walters was also retrospectively charged.

Now I don't for one minute think that there is a conspiracy or that the RFL are trying to stop us winning 5 in a row, thats silly talk.

However that doesn't mean I can't be frustrated with the above.

I don't recall anyone saying there was inconsistency going on a couple of seasons ago when Smithies got 6 (IIRC) games for a crusher tackle that was practically nothing whilst another player didn't even get a ban for one that appeared worse and led to an injury. That was down to Wigan being thugs.

Just like us, you play the game on the borderline of the rules in terms of physicality and this year you're paying the price with bans. There's a simple fix.
