I was as horrified as anyone by the sight of the filthy slugger in action and that is compounded by the immediate and bloodthirsty response of the national vulture media who ignore our game for 99% of the time. I am livid that the image of our family game, for which we have been striving, has been swiped into oblivion, not only by the criminal act of sheer thuggery, but also in that it has led to the likes of Offiah who, on Twitter and on ITV news pandered to the media thirst for negative news. He, and others, of course, deny it but they have tried to 'excuse' the first punch as part of a legitimate exchange, and made ridiculous efforts to portray the second punch as explicable in a variety of ways! The only explanation lies in Wane's coaching style and that is what will surely destroy our image. If players are sent onto the playing field with the kind of hatred he generates and encourages within them (Watch Warriors Down Under) then this will surely be the kiss of death to any positive coverage we have striven for. I was advocating 'non RL fans' to watch the GF if they wanted to see real sportsmen. Within 2 minutes I was regretting saying a word to anyone! I am furious that Flower brought such disgrace on MY beloved game! He and Wane have brought the entire game into disrepute and should pay dearly. No doubt, by the end of today Flower will walk away from Red Hall with a ridiculously lenient ban and Wane will just go on as before. The RFL should have the balls to ban the pair of them for a long time but of course Wane's contribution is not even part of their discussion. The RFL is a shambles. There is already a really bad smell around Red Hall, with GH now paying for having spoken of it. My guess is that by the end of today it will stink to high heaven around there.

Had Cassidy tried to tackle Morley properly he'd probably been the one on the floor needing the physio, Morley ran in like a f**king steam train.

Because Morley simply ran over him his swinging arm missed by quite a wide margin - if he had connected then McCormack could have been seeing stars for a prolonged period

I'd agree with that. I watched a game that season in a pub in Bradford when you played the Bulls. Morley was unstoppable, the Bulls fans were up in arms due to the physicality. He was never quite as dominant & I often wondered whether it was the rest of the game catching up or the Cassidy incident.
