Just seen this, I think you find that I thought Sneyd was guilty and deserved a ban (I said 3 matches compared to previous incidents), what I didn't agree with was the 8-10 matches that people were talking about, this is a similar tackle although not as bad and deserves as least looking at, it seems the people that matter agree with me.

I'm no Leeds or Saints fan but:

Sneyd should've got longer. There was intent to commit the tackle even IF he'd didn't intend to injure - the recklessness shoudlve warranted at least 4 games more than he got.

Greenwood, at best, should've got a slap on the wrist. There was nothing in it whatsoever.

I think it's common knowledge on here that the disciplinary panel (and the RFL as a whole) are a bunch of moronic c**ks. There should be a complete restructure of the panel, but best to be done at the end of the season.

All in a complete, neutral viewpoint of course.

Even tough I started this, I think that it a bit harsh, I would expect him to get a one match ban, there was certainly something in the tackle, just some fans can't see it against their own players, but were quick to jump onto Sneyd last week.

I wouldn't have said that was anything like the same severity or level of potential for injury that the Sneyd challenge had to it. For them to be graded the same is daft IMO. If Greenwood gets the same ban that Sneyd got then the game really has gone mad.

They've painted themselves in to a corner by not dealing with a bad incident appropriately. Now they can't plausibly punish Greenwood even if they find him guilty (not that I think they should find him guilty necessarily) because it wasn't even in the same postcode as Sneyd's

I pretty much agree, he should get a maximum of one match, but I'd be tempted to fine and warn him, but like last week with fans going over the top about Sneyd, the bias is showing in some fans to say he did nothing wrong, it could have been dangerous and Brown clearly thought they was something wrong with it.

For me, Greenwood being charged was in response to the Sneyd incident last week. If the Sneyd incident hadn't happened, does anybody really think Greenwood would have even been charged?

I'm all for protecting players but this is just getting ridiculous if Greenwood is banned.

Common sense must prevail.

Your original fore was this.

Be interesting to see if a saints no 21 (Greenwood?) gets a ban and there are people calling for a ten game ban for his leg twisting on Brown.

Still narked that some hardliners were baying for no absolution .

But I still think you have your “Black & White” glasses on when comparing the two incidents .

People aren't bias because they're saying their's nothing wrong with it.....because their was nothing wrong with it.

The only bias seems to be coming from Hull fans highlighting it and trying to make some comparision to poor little Marc who was picked on by everyone on here who rightfully thought his was bad. Just like they tried to shift the spotlight/blame onto McGuire and McDermott last week, they now are trying to shift some onto the RFL if they don't ban Greenwood like they banned poor little Marc even though everyone non-Hull doesn't think their's anything wrong with the tackle.

It was a little bit sarcastic my first post, I never thought he should get 10 games, as I have repeated Sneyd is much worst and deserved a ban, but I was also right in saying that there is something wrong with Greenwoods tackle and should be looked at.

He might get not guilty and I wouldn't be bothered but the RFL have done the right thing in calling him up (Although the grading is maybe a little harsh).
