Nasty for Burgess tonight .

However when Carl Ablett took out Sam Tomkins with his illegal challenge you Leeds fans were chanting " Yorkshire , Yorkshire , Yorkshire", boot on the other foot now , however tonight's was an accident , still not nice though is it, maybe something to think about for you.

I guess your moan was too late to get in to the League Express that week ....

So, if you're doing the holier-than-thou bit, perhaps you might want to remind us what happend when Chev Walker was carried off at Headingley, compared to say Ryan Bailey being carried off at Craven Park early last season ?

You tool!

PS Wheels may be in contact about your misuse of 'been'.

I don't think the challenge on Burgess was bad, just unlucky. The challenge from Ablett on Tomkins was bad but accidental. I think this is the view of a lot of Leeds supporters, so whats your point?

His point is the fact Leeds fans cheered & chanted when Tomkins was injured and when St Helens players get injured its fine, but tonight there's a lot of Leeds fans complaining Cas fans chanted "there's only one Johnny Walker" it's an utter disgrace etc etc, he's pointing out the irony in that fact

I would cheer if Bailey got injured, I'd cheer more if COCKayne got injured. Thats because they are idiots. However Burgess seems a decent lad.

Red,

I'll be honest I havent read the rest of the threads and don't know what has already been said but the Ablett incident was a bit different. At the time I thought that he should have walked but tonights was just plain unlucky between Burgess and Walker and it seems a bit unfair that you seem to be taking the chance to gloat.

I was one of the first to wish Chev all the best (not to mention the same to all players) and would like to have hoped that you could have done the same. I feel for the lad cause now he will miss his deserved chance at Wembley but I hope he will get another.

As a Wigan fan I didn't have an issue with the Rhino's fans singing after Tomkins was flattened by Ablett and can't really see any irony in the same fans complaining about the chants and shouts from Cas 'fans' after Burgess was flattened. The reason there's no irony is that Tomkins wasn't lying pretty much motionless on the floor requiring a neckbrace and stretcher whereas Burgess was and it was pretty obvious that it looked like a bad injury yet certain fans continued to chant and shout. Its bad enough that there are some people who behave like this but as far as I'm concerned its worse that people see nothing wrong with it, come up with ridiculous arguments in defence of this kind of behaviour or deny anything happened. I really couldn't give a rats ass if Castleford lose their licence after this, its rugby league not football and I found it sickening. As for the challenge itself it was unfortunate there was a clash of heads but I'm not convinced there's a great deal of skill involved in running at someone at full speed and there's probably not a huge difference between a shoulder and an elbow in terms of the damage they can do with momentum behind them but its within the rules.

The only irony I can see in this in relation to the incident with Ablett and Tomkins, is that 'Bluey' seems to be the only person claiming this was a foul and was also the only person claiming Ablett's wasn't. I think he's a bit muddled with rules.

What an excellent response to the muppet who started this thread, well said sir.


What I think may be useful is a definitive list of those SL players for whom it is acceptable to cheer when injured, or dead - just to make things absolutely crystal clear of course.

You start this thread with a post a little OTT but perhaps a valid point and then follow it up with this which makes you look a complete h0le.

You just lost any credibility you might have otherwise had.

Just out of interest, if Bailey's a thug how would you describe Ben Cockayne?
