I was surprised it even went to the panel, if this is the standard to be set there SHOULD be a lot of bans coming up, but I doubt it. What happened to the 1-2 they said was the range anyway, are they allowed to double it because he plays for us or maybe because he is French. I hope Hudgell keeps a close eye on things and shouts very loud if this precedent is not followed up in other case.

The rfl are pretty poor and inconsistent but I wouldn't imagine them being racist

We're discussing the rfl disciplinary process. He's an ideal example of what is wrong.
Boudebza appears involved by most onlookers in an accident. Gets 4 games.
Hewitt spends every game assaulting players....nothing.
How sick his children are are an irrelevance. The blokes a thug and Powell condones him making Powell a raving hypocrite on this issue.

Interesting. I have mostly seen him play for Cas, during which time he hasn't stood out as particularly dirty (as evidenced by the fact he hasn't been charged for anything during his time at Cas). Nor did I really notice him playing against us for Salford.
My point about his absence wasn't really to do with his children, but to point out that despite your claims Powell sends him out to injure players every week, this can't be true as he hasn't actually played that many games for us.
Perhaps you need to sit on the disciplinary panel if you are spotting foul play that is completely missed by everyone else?

dirty sod, should have got longer than a 4 game ban ! end a players season, then get 4 games !!!!

Irrespective of whether or not it was malicious or accidental, the fact is that french john has caused a serious injury with a tackle which has put pressure against shenton's knee joint. I'd be surprised if he's done it on purpose which is why he's probably got away relatively lightly as one deemed to be malicious would have been at least twice as long.

I'd also presume that cas would have been videoing the game themselves so this would likely have given a 2nd viewpoint from a different angle?

Club bias aside, these kind of techniques need stopping or more of these types of injuries will occur

It's simple. The third man to engage in the tackle must make contact above the knee only.

The same Jewitt that has been posted on the Cas forum site carrying out a cannon ball tackle in the same match.

Not quite, no. A cannonball is a tackle that directly impacts the side or front of the knee, forcing the knee to bend in an unnatural sideways or backwards direction. This is extremely dangerous and illegal. Although I personally don't like any player making contact below the knee when the tackle is almost complete, Jewitt's tackle is not illegal as it doesn't put unnatural pressure on the joint. Rather, it bends the knee in a natural direction and not extending the joint. Having said that, I would still change the rules to make this kind of tackle illegal. It just isn't at the moment.
It was looked at formally by the panel who decided it wasn't illegal.

I've looked at the You Tube footage about seven of eight times and all bias aside, Boudebza appears to hit Shenton in a classical, as you were taught to tackle, back into the day hip area.

Boudebza's tackling style is one of tacking players around the hip and sliding down the legs, as used to be the norm, before ball and all techniques.

He retreats from the tackle without any appearance of malice.

Shenton is then clearly in distress.

I'm not saying that Boudebza doesn't deserve his ban, but quite clearly, the RFL have access to different footage than that shot by Rovers.
