pretty obvious tamou and galloway are eying each other up whilst garbutt is busy swinging his arm in.

Garbutt literally takes two more steps before hitting Tamou.

But either way, you have made up your mind. Your Mrs Lovejoy impression is not going to make a difference to anybody

Really? From that angle you can tell who Tamou's eyes are on even though Garbutt and Galloway are side by side........and even though that still shot and the video show Tamou trying to knock Garbutt's left hand off his shirt he appears to have no idea Garbutt was there.....ok then

exactly, arms out, one foot behind the other in a fighting stance. Not straight on, arms down looking at someone else.

Its interesting that NQC's excuse wasnt that he was looking at Galloway or any of the nonsense here, but that he saw it and because of the rules in OZ simply didnt expect a punch and got tagged with one.

Yeah I've seen the video thanks and its shows what I said. Funny thing how no one is bothered that Tamou hit Galloway whilst Galloway was looking towards what the dummy half was about to do.....but I suppose playing for an NRL team and being a girlish slap makes that fine.

If you don't want to get punched then don't throw one. Even if it was a pansy attempt.

Yep, in a fighting stance against Keith Galloway, not against the cheap sideshot from fatboy Garbutt...nothing like Fielden and Mason..that was one on one, this was two on one.

So even though the still shot clearly shows Galloway to be behind Garbutt and Tamou trying to knock Garbutt's left hand off his shirt, his fighting stance was aimed at Galloway......you're a genius mate.

Tosh!

I like most RL fans have no problem with a bit of honest bif but Garbutt came in from the side and hit a bloke who wasn't even looking at him!

It's a cheap shot and there's nothing to admire about it!

Tamou hit a bloke who wasn't looking at him, do you have the same problem with that? To say that Garbutt came in from the side is very generous of you - admittedly he wasn't dead centre but they were near enough squared up and Tamou was in fighting stance.

I'm not saying what Garbutt did was alright, but it was understandable (having, from his perspective at least, just seen his fellow prop get punched) and it was nowhere close to the cheap blindside shot a lot of handwringers on here are making it out to be.

He didn't come in from the side. He didn't hit someone who wasn't in fighting mode. He didn't hit someone who had no idea he was there. He didn't hit anyone who hadn't already started something. He didn't hit someone who was in any way unable to defend themselves. He hit someone who had popped his team mate. End of story. Any more than a one match ban would be very harsh.
