And if he moved to another club they'd be penalised too





Can't imagine why RL has never taken off

Will you please stop calling the pitch an island.

They are not usually surrounded by water.

Must we follow the aussies in everything related to our game.

Big unit, the island the sheds

Wouldn't say no to a few aussie cheerleaders at Hull though

well ablett lost his appeal .......

Imo Bailey is one of the dirtiest players I have seen.. he's the type of player that people who don't like RL say "its a game played by thugs" fulfills the stereotype.

Abletts challenge to me could've been avoided and well done to tomkins for shaking it off but this rule change would be ridiculous.

the problem is Ablett lost his appeal, but it cost him £200, he should have had the ban doubled because of a frivolous appeal, that might make cheats like him think twice.

completely agree, wasting time so should have had his fine doubled at least imo.

Couldn't agree more, he should have had at the very least one extra game as a penalty and an extra £500 fine.

A reckless challenge yes & deserving of the extra fine & possibly a game added on for good measure, but a cheat what is that in relation to?

Justice done !!

Haven't they started doing that in Football, not doubling the ban but adding a game if the appeal is deemed as frivolous. Sure Rio Ferdinand had that happen at the end of last season.

Agree this could be a problem but have always thought that if the player is put on report and banned at a later date then there should be some sort of benefit for the sinned against club. After all, Saints are going to benefit form Ablett being out when in reality he should have been sent off which would have seen Wigan have the advantage. Think there are pro's and con's which could make this difficult to implement.
