The inconsistent Rugby Football League who fail to deal with salary cap 'cheaters' correctly seem to think full back Brent Webb deserves a four match ban for three high tackles, one of which appeared to be just a lazy arm. We bring you all the news around the ban.

The inconsistent Rugby Football League who fail to deal with salary cap 'cheaters' correctly seem to think full back Brent Webb deserves a four match ban for three high tackles, one of which appeared to be just a lazy arm.

engageSuperLeague.co.uk Official Announcement:

" Leeds Rhinos full-back Brent Webb has been banned for four matches following two reckless high tackles in the Rhinos' win at Harlequins RL on Saturday.

The New Zealand international had an eventful game at the Twickenham Stoop, being placed on report twice and sin-binned, but then scoring two tries.

He has been banned for two matches for each of the two offences placed on report and fined a total of £600.

Webb will now miss engage Super League matches against Salford, Hull KR, Bradford and Hull, returning only for the final regular season game at home to Wakefield. "

So it seems that you can overspend by thousands to consequently get more internationals in your team and only loose two points yet the RFL seem to think two or three high tackles is worthy of a four match ban.

Brent Webb gets four, Pryce gets two for.. well, you saw it live on the BBC.

But here is some good news;

Thankfully Rob Burrow is cleared of serious injury following only thirteen minutes on the field. He wont be taking part in the game against Salford but is cleared for the rest of the season as he only has bruising on his ribs.

Tony Smith may also be welcoming back Matt Diskin into the squad along with Micheal Ratu.

We hope to see you down at Headingley where Leeds take on Salford.
