HULL coach Brett Hodgson says the eight-match ban imposed on Wigan prop Tony Clubb was too lenient.
An independent operational rules tribunal organised by the Rugby Football League found Clubb guilty on Tuesday evening of abusing Hull second rower Andre Savelio during last Thursday’s Super League match.
Clubb faced a charge of using “unacceptable language based on national or ethnic origin,” a Grade F offence for which the minimum suspension is eight matches.
After receiving character references in support of the player, the panel opted to reduce the penalty after deciding that he is not a racist and that he used the unacceptable language in the heat of the moment.
