@farnworth-viking isn't that strange because it doesn't make any sense at all

@vikingfox71 I asked the same thing earlier in the week on a post on X , but didn’t get a answer.

So if he didn't put in his match report how did they give a 3 game ban ? On what evidence? Because if it's just video evidence then you don't need the report ?

if it's off the report it couldn't have been late

or am I missing something?? ( usually am)

@pauliewalnuts love that painting, though I like his 1920s work a little more - Automat and Chop Suey.

@widiot

I take it no disciplinary action was - or will be - taken against the referee?

What a co-incidence that the first time this sort of balls-up occurs just happens to benefit London.

Yes, London quickly getting to terms with the money = influence idea.

I thought it was a wind up, but apparently the ref forgot to submit his match report, so the whole ban is null and void.

This sport never, ever ceases to amaze me.

No report ..no match fee.....who's to say he actually reffed the game !!!!!

Surely the report went .missing in the web ether...he must have written and submitted it or thought he had......or do the RFL rely on pigeons to communicate and a hawk got it

I will ask my feathered friends but unlikely to see hawks and pigeons as I sleep in the day and come out at night
