Not sure with Watts getting a 4 game ban which I think is harsh.

Still think the RFL have a major problem on their hands with the ineptitude of the MRP with Cullen as the Head/Chsir of the panel and needs resolving starting with Cullen being shown the door with immediate affect.

Got to be his previous record. Must have the record for most bans.

He's totally out of touch with the modern game , and proves everyone at the RFL / MRP and even the Referees are not singing from the same hymn sheet .
I feel a little for Watts also .

Pele got to be happy with that. Sao common sense prevailed, Ese'ese tough one probably right unfortunately, Watts previous suspensions probably not helped.

Though Ese'ese was lucky not to see red at the game so expected a few games. Pele has got off lightly, good job he didn't properly connect with Minchella

As Meatloaf once sang 'Two out of Three ain't bad'. Got to be happy with Pele only getting 3 and then Sao reduced to 1.

Still feel Ese'ese was more than worth an appeal given the match officials are deemed as two of the best we have. Moore was very clear it was low force so only a yellow, its the gap between what both Moore & Kendal ajudged and then what the MRP/Cullen ajudged, as the disparity between the two is poles apart. This for me shows a concerning lack of being on the same page between the officials and MRP panel which can not be good.

Think Pele was on for six+ weeks until the RFL got a sense of the media, public, and player reaction to round 1. For once the pre-season marketing seemed to be decent and they decided to torpedo the on field product at the first showing.

When you have a panel that have backtracked on several appeals including a no charge for Brierley it clearly shows it is not fit for purpose.
Thats a large percentage they have got wrong and surely the RFL must look into its future performance or bring in a new panel.
If i were in the RFL i would be on the phone to Gaz Ellis and form a new panel around him

A reminder of the panel and the process. They even point out that only one of the six is from Yorkshire. https://www.rugby-league.com/match-review-panel
