Hehe - you don't get out much do you ?

The kicking incident was bizarre. It's not a hard decision - you kick a man on the floor and you get a red card. I've sent a couple of people off for that in the last few years and to my eternal shame I was once dismissed for the same offence during my playing days, which I recognised as the right decision even as I was walking off the pitch. A grounded player is very vulnerable, and for an opponent to deliver a kick in those circumstances is cowardly and dangerous. Instant dismissal. I was genuinely astonished that Tomkins stayed on the pitch after that.

I hope we don't end up with the Aussie-type approach that play-offs are considered somehow exempt from foul-play rules.

Whilst I agree completely with your point, the irony of "Roy Haggerty" lecturing people on the need to eradicate foul play isn't lost on me.

If you say so

Well two kick out offences two weeks on the run. - enough said. The pies should take him in hand or he will become more than a penalty machine for them and for us in the four nations.

Cracking player, but it say's something when a young lad of 23 is the most penalised player in Super League.

Very good player. Tackles hard and runs some great angles, but, not only does he give away a lot of penalties, he seems to drop the ball quite alot aswell.

unless he can sort his discipline problems out he shouldn't be anywhere near the plane to Aus and NZ.

you are right; he will probably fight with the pilot.
