Sammut got 2 games for something the ref didn't even put on report.

Connor needs to learn to keep his mouth shut to the officials.
If he swore at the Ref , then he deserves a ban imo .

Take your black and white specs off. It has nothing to do with what the RFL want but upholding the relationship between officials and players. Disciplinary punishments are often different to instant on pitch decisions.

Excellent player that Connor is he always has to niggle and try to provoke the opposition as well as continually mouth off at officials. He really should stick to what he is really good at. He should leave the backbiting to players of lesser skills who are desperate to make their mark.
