O’Neill semi successful in his appeal, managing to get it down to one game.

Better than nothing I suppose but I do think that's a nonsense decision. He's either done it deliberately or not - and to me it's fairly obvious he didn't.

Genuinely don't know the answer to this

Did the Leeds player (Rhys Martyn?) Get cited/suspended for making contact with the in goal touch judge celebrating the match winning try at catalans?

It was reckless to say the least.

They need to stop being so precious the officials. As if there will be zero accidental contact when you’re playing a contact sport, at that pace and incidents like O’Neill’s or Martin’s look accidental to me. I’ve never seen the Foster incident and it sounds like a ban was warranted in that case but it was described as an assault. Now that’s a pretty serious term to throw about, that could live with the lad for the rest of his life. It didn’t sound like an assault from what I read but if a future employer, partner or whoever Googles his name, it will show up that he once assaulted a referee.

So Rhys Martin didn't get cited (haven't seen the LMS one)?
So after scoring a player can run around wildly/recklessly and jump around and barge into an official, but while defending your line and a referee backs into you you'll get banned.

Right OK

That's an absolute joke.

Is it any wonder why people like myself have no respect for refs? How can the above gets classed as assault? Another case of them protecting their own and milking anything they can.

Wow!

It’s a ban, he shouldn’t have done it but assault? Absolutely disgraceful wording and 8 games is farcical as well.
