I am genuinely shellshocked.....look out for more despicable actions by many more players. It really does beggar belief. Spitting and name callling are obviously far worse than potential career ending gbh in the eyes of the RFL if not (yet) the law of the land.

pathetic reply by some of you so called rugby fans, wishing your players to go out and injure,yes sneyd did wrong and no probs with the ban, but to say go out and injure a fellow rugby player on purpose, REALLY

Genuine question - Grade D offence carries a 3 to 5 match ban, so how does weasel Syned only cop for 2 games???

He's either guilty - 3 to 5 games ban or not guilty - 0 games ban.

Come on....we all know all clubs have got their cerebrally challenged element amongst their ranks and others will make a statement in the heat of the moment.

Whoever you support we should all be condemning such 'tackles' and even more so the leniency of the ridiculous RFL who cannot even follow their own goddamn rules.

Danny Houghton let himself down big time on Sunday. To see a pro player shoving and berating a fellow pro who is lying injured on the floor was sickening. I don't wish any bad injuries on Houghton but would not feel any pity should one occur. Houghton used to be one of my favourite players in Superleague but only he knows why he did what he did on Sunday.

Think you'll find it's just trying to highlight the rubbish decision being made by the disciplinary to an act of foul play that could've have serious consequences that why not make it open season if people aren't getting properly punished for their crimes.

I seriously doubt any of them are sat watching on Friday with their fingers crossed actually praying for a Hull guy to get hurt.

A very surprising penalty to say the least. It was a very nasty tackle and to only ban Sneyd for 2 games sends out a strange and contradictory message. It would appear that who you are and who you play for on either end of the tackle may have some influence on the penalty awarded by the muppets on the disciplinary panel. If that tackle had been made by a certain Salford player I feel fairly confident that the resulting ban would not have been 2 games. I don't want the lad hung out to dry and I deplore the daft chat about sending junior squad members out to take out opposing players, though I don't think either poster was actually advocating such tactics. Rather I suspect that they were pointing out how a cynical coach might seek advantage out of this bizarre ruling. But I do think that the penalty awarded to Sneyd and Hull is too lenient and brings the game into disrepute.

I am awaiting Phil Clarke's view on this incident before my mind is made up regarding the incident as i believe that he will deem that such a serious and intentional incident will certainly awaken the Rugby Gods and that they will ultimately have the final say on this matter regarding the true severity of sneyd's actions,even if the RL Disciplinary committee deemed this incident as being not too serious

Maybe Hull should sign a half back for 2016

Open question:

Do people think sneyds offence was worse than what flower did to hohiah in the gf?

Personally I would say punching a defenceless opponent and twisting the limb of a defenceless opponent are very similar. Only difference is one was a showpiece on tv and one wasn't.

Just an observation...

The charge was downgraded from grade D to grade C , would be interested to know why ? Very odd .

Because they made the charge fit the penalty they had decided to award. Simples

2 matches for that "tackle " is a disgrace. I don't for one minute believe Sneyd planned what he did, but the fact is that while he was hold of Danny's ankle he decided to twist and wrench it - and that wasn't an accident. Rush of blood to the head or not it's got to be dealt with decisively or every $h1thouse in the league will be able to reference this feeble ban when required.
