Quote Ste100Centurions="Ste100Centurions"Using this thought process as a premise for not appealing appears somewhat flawed IMHO.
Looking at 'criminal law' cases where a for example a person or persons have been wrongly imprisoned & using this reasoning that a sentence would be "almost guaranteed the sentence would be increased", why would any innocent person ever appeal ?
I am not suggesting Jamie is innocent, more that the original & subsequent increased punishment does not fit the crime !
I also ask, how independent is this panel, who pays their salaries & how much 'influence' over them might the RFL have ?
This is something I would like to see put before CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport) but it won't happen.
Seems to me the sport has a cancer & it needs cutting out !'"
I agree with Ste100 centurions. We need more transparency about the choice of these independent panels. Is it just co incidence that one member was an ex Hull KR player and the other an ex chairman of the same club? Haven't these two members of the panel a vested interest in the case?
