Indeed.

It doesn't surprise me that it only took a few posts before the anti-Leeds hysteria set in, despite the thread being about Sykes.

Did I imagine Brent Webb getting a ban a few weeks ago and failing in his appeal? Apparently so.

Face height being 3 feet off the ground in this case, just where you would expect it.

So what was he trying to do? Having your feet 3 feet off the ground helps you to get up does it?

Webb has a long history of wild head shots (often completely missed by the officials) so it's hardly a shock that it eventually caught up with him. Leaving aside the kicking out, when Senior starts getting pinged for his regular obstruction occasionally then I'll start believing there is a god.

There might (or might not) be many faces at around 3 feet from the ground but I can think of other, rather painful areas, I wouldn't want to get kicked in, particularly be a great big lummox like Senior.

Let's get one thing straight. Senior wasn't "doing what we all do", he commited an offence by kicking out in the manner he did, and has been up before the beak and fined. The debate is only whether or not he should have been banned too.

It is therefore tigertot who is talking "rubbish" to bizarrely claim "It's a completely normal action". AFAIK you don't get called up to the disciplinary and fined for "normal action". I know what tigers is referring to, but it sure as hell doesn't involve a wild, arcing kick in the air, reckless as to whether it lands on an adjacent player or not.

And what's "three feet" got to do with it? Don't you notice that sometimes not every player on the field is actually standing straight up? E.g. in the ruck? Plus, what if it had been Burrow? (Sorry take that back, would've missed).

if all the insidents were grade A offences then everyone of the players should have recieved a 1 match ban

some one said earlier leeds and hetherington are too far up the RFLs ar5e that they have only given him a fine

he did kick out and it wasnt a little kick either....full on dirty begger

Sykes threw someone by the head and has rightly been banned. I can't be bothered ranting about what happened to players at other clubs.

Our task on Sunday has got that bit harder, that's for sure.

True. he wasn't stood over the players tunnel, plastic pint in hand, wearing RAB glasses, screaming insults at the officials.



No he didn't. The offence was kicking Tomkins in the head. It would have been the same if Tomkins had been chewing grass at the time.



He shouldn't, for the reasons stated.



Kicking your legs out to get defenders off your upper body is a normal action to try & speed up the play the ball or con the official that the defenders are holding down.

southernwood and orford in the halves for the game against hudds ?
or move menzies there and have wardle in the centres with platt outside him and nero inside rikki

That makes it true then.
Someone said to me Bradford are just jealous.

cmon
over the years leeds players have alwways got off bans

Webb didn't.

Kicking your legs three feet into the air is a "normal" action to get players off your upper body? Is it?
I'll have to watch more closely in future then. And watch out for all those fines getting handed out for the "normal" action that players do.
