Quote: tvoc "If he's your chief prosecution witness I'm surprised the case ever got to court.
As I said on the other thread yesterday, based on the actual incident from the single camera angle offered (and without the benefit of footage from any of the build up - ie the previous skirmish) it appeared to me a classic over-reaction from Ganson to send Tomkins off.
What Tomkins had used and the initially area of impact (although fairly clear on the footage) I imagine would have been difficult to determine with certainty by the match officials and ordinarily I would therefore have expected the whole incident to have been placed on report.
Ganson may have just decided it was time to take a stand. Difficult to say if that played any part in the send off decision without access to more footage but I'll put it out there as a possibility to temper the over-reaction comment.'"
tvoc....I dont know who you support but you make a lot of sense. I was at the game and the facts are:
Hull came to spoil and intimidate
There were lots of sly digs in tackles and high shots from both teams
The game was heating up when Joel hit the hull player in the upper chest..the impact roaad up his chest and finished in the neck ares (worthy of a 1 game ban)
Sam - 1 game ban nailed on ..he ran 15 metres to join in the festivities (no complaints)
This thread is embarassing..all this u cant tackle a tomkins..what are you on about? Sam takes more stick than most..open your eyes and watch the games.
PS.....Hope Danny's on the mend!!
