Just got in - can anyone tell me of the Gareth Hock outcome?

It, hopefully, was proved to be simple mistake.

4 games for gouging 1 game for punching

Yeah, such a simple mistake that he admitted the offence & the subsequent "mistaken" punch too.

should have got 8 atleast thug

it begs the question what would he, or any body else for that matter, have had to do to receive an 8 games ban?

For an 8 game ban I suspect Harrison would have needed a sex change first.

It's interesting that the Disciplinary panel handed out the maximum sanction (within the guidelines) for the lesser offence and the minimum for the more serious one?

I'm sure their heart is in the right place just a pity their brain isn't.

I'm sure I have seen it in amatuer rules that it is 'sine die' for gouging - he'll be knackered for game time when wigan dump him, which they should, coz no-one will surely take the idiot on proffessionally??

I've heard he wants to be a plumber - he's better off cleaning s*** up tbh!

Are you sure you didn't hear that he liked messing about in toilets with strange substances?

Or to put it another way .... The minimum possible tariff for the gouging offence

The report is OUTSTANDING. Anybody wanting a laugh should definitely have a read of rlthisrl.

One of the many highlights for me is...

and

As has been mentioned elsewhere, the maximum ban applicable for the same offence on a Rugby Union field is 156 weeks (three years) ....

yup, that's the sickener.

abhorrent behaviour should be given appropriate punishment, not the lamest slap on the wrist with current policy.

joke
