Reading through the replies, you would think Tamou had knocked the innocent Galloway out, and Garbutt had run in to save the day.

The reality, Galloway throughout the game had been taking things to far on the ground, giving facials and choking players, causing pushing and shoving on a few occasions which escalated into Tamou giving him a little slap on the cheek in the last ten mins.

That's as far as it would have gone until Garbutt runs in and sucker punches, yes it was a sucker punch and breaks Tamou nose.

Anyone who thinks a sucker punch is acceptable epitomises the culture that needs to be stamped out of RL.

Rubbish.

Go watch golf or something if you don't want tempers boiling over.

First proper punch we have seen for 2 years and the rugby world goes into melt down...
Has the game I love gone soft,the game where I knew if u did a unjustified action on the field u got a deserved reaction..

No its gone more professional... in rugby there is barely a punch thrown anymore due to automatic sin binning. If you like sucker punching, fighting etc, maybe time to follow a different sport.

it aint gone soft,but Garbutt gets 2 matches ban for a blatant sucker punch,wheres the equality in punishment compared to flower.....oh wait,he plays for leeds

I would agree if Garbutt had knocked Tamou out with the punch then followed it up with another whilst he was out cold on his back but that didn't happen did it.

So what culture do we need to stamp out then? I don't have to argue with you when you seem to be arguing with yourself.

the game has gone more professional,what a load of rubbish u call a spade a spade cos it is one rugby league will always be the same which is about getting one over on your opponent and if that means via skill or looking after yourself and teammates during the game you do so.

Wow, where have all the soppy boys appeared from?

I was proud of Garbutt, saw his mate get punched, exacted immediate retribution face to face. Not like the biggest coward in Superleague over at your place, you know, the fella that punches little stand offs in the eye when they're layed on the floor holding the ball unable to protect themselves. You know, the fella that took a whole 90 seconds of the new season before he tried taking our young stand off out with an illegal shoulder charge. You know the fella ?

A prop punches a prop after he tried to punch another prop. Good job the Chairman of the PFU isn't around to hear all this rubbish along with the pansy-& comments from Matt Scott. He'd be weeping into his pint of mild.

What did Matt Scott say?
