Hull KR chairman having a pretty big issue with the match review panel;

Well he doesn't 'pull any punches', does he?

He has a very fair point. In particular this season, the Bowen and Soliola incidents were worthy of straight red cards yet both received no punishment from the review board.

He's not wrong

He is spot on. I note "The RFL" have issued a counter statement but not going to read it. Backslapping, self effacing bunch of cronies (IMO). www.therfl.co.uk/the-rfl/about_t ... _directors Read Paragraph Two. Strongly suspect the players union and most chairmen want massive changes. Lard Arse of Halifax only became CEO by waiting for the better man to leave (IMO) No accumen, no charisma, no idea

Makes for boring reading, with a hint of an apology in the last paragraph

The bloke is spot on, regarding the match review panel, however I expect a charge sheet to be in the post to him as I type for bringing the game into disrepute!

I disagree that he is spot on. I agree that there can appear to be inconsistencies and if those affect his club then I can understand him being fscked off but there are a number of issues here.



First the very fact that we HAVE a MRP is good, it means there is a system to look at things which might otherwise be let go.



Second the fact that the MRP looks at and deals with thousands of incidents in a season and in the overwhelming majority, there isn't a fuss made, and so they must be doing, in the main, a passably decent job.



Like VR decisions, all you can do is appoint people to do the review job, and hope and trust that they are good enough to do it properly, but accepting that occasionally errors are certain to be made. That is not a case for throwing the baby out with the bathwater.



And the difficulty of ANY individual disciplinary decision is more than amply demonstrated - at least, to anyone with a brain - by the hugely disparate views that ANY given offence will garner on this forum. That proves that if the members on here took turns to sit on the panel, there would clearly be no more "consistency" then than there is now, as to prove "inconsistency" you have to first of all agree on differing cases "being identical" and as so many threads indisputably show, unanimity on any given case is just pie in the sky, it will never exist.

Missing vital evidence on several occasions when viewing a match DVD is not inconsistency it's incompetence

Maybe the job could be handed over, lock stock and barrel, to Wakefield fans? They are the only ones who know about level playing fields and fairness.



Apparently.

It could be, but we haven't heard the side of those alleged to have been incompetent though.

That said, as the evidence was clearly there for those who wished to find it, they could only tell us the reason [iwhy[/i they missed it and I'm not sure that would be sufficient to escape the charge..
