Quote: wrencat1873 "There is a world of difference in pushing someone in the face (because you are unhappy with something that has gone on in a tackle) and full on punching a bloke in the face when they are not expecting it..
I don't think anyone has condoned what Tamou did when hi got up from being tackled but, the reaction of the Leeds fans is utterly ridiculous and trying to justify, in any way, what Garbutt did is just wrong.
Did Gallagher really need some help, because he looks more than capable of looking after himself.'"
Not justifying it, just giving a more accurate report on it unlike yourself who is trying to lessen Tamou's slap to a "push" and the highten Garbutt's to "from the blindside".
No one is excusing Garbutt, he went too far. The one being excused is Tamou, his slap kicked it off but people are trying to excuse him staying he received a bit on the floor......well every player receives the same stuff during a game. I imagine Tamou as a forward gave a far bit out himself during the game possibly to both Galloway and Garbutt at times (who knows how Garbutt got that cut under his lip?), I didn't however see anyone else respond by slapping his opponent. In such a physical game as RL then such provocation as a slap is going to lead to the inevitable outcome, whether it was Garbutt or Galloway shouldn't actually matter if people on here are truthfully that disgusted by punching as they claim.
