Love a good dust up

10 minutes would have sufficed

Red should be for serious foul play

I have noticed that by some of the comments you put on our forum.

My thoughts exactly. If the big lads fancy having a straightener just let them get on with it then send the culprits for 10 minutes to calm down. It's come to something when you can get banned for 3 matches for standing up for yourself after getting cracked from behind. Any rugby league player worth his salt would have reacted exactly the same as Chris Tuson if he found himself in that situation. I'd have been disappointed if he hadn't!

Not happy at all. They should ban Tomkins, Charnley, Finch, Carmont and Lima as well.
Given current form, we might then be in with at least half a chance

The voice of reason and the post nearest the truth.

Tuson threw a flurry of punches,sustained,as the charge says. Whatever magennis did it doesn't entitle tuson to start chucking his fists about thats fair enough to me.
Hock and lms had a set to at the scrum forming but then hock grabs lms and starts raining blows on him,thats fair enough too,magennis threw a haymaker from behind,fair enough,mossop then floors magennis, fair enough,lms did nothing more than wind hock up therefore no charge,all are pretty fair to me.
I really cannot see how wigan fans can defend hock and tusom as the victims,also mcilorum and wilkin didn't come up smelling of roses in the moments after the brawl

You call that assessment neutral? Methinks obvious anti-Wigan agenda is obvious. Magennis cheap shots Tuson who had his back turned and you criticise Tuson. Both Hock and LMS were in each others faces, and it's only when they stand up and LMS shoves his head into Hocks face that Hock starts throwing punches (not that that makes it ok, just that you seem to think Saints can do no wrong). As for Wigan players holding LMS while Hock punches him, pull the other one, it's got bells on it.

Just as a query.

Hock got whacked in the first half, hence the bloody nose.

Who was it that did it ?

Crank. It's not about Leeds you fool, take your beating like a man and stick on topic.
I've nothing against Hock, he gets people through the turnstiles and shows real passion. I don't think it was conclusive what happened to start it between him and LMS but Hock certainly finished it. Magennis acted in a cowardly manner, squared up, didn't fancy it, then threw a cheap shot. Mossop was also a cheap shot coward, had plenty of Saints to choose from but hid behind his mates before throwing a sucker punch at someone not looking. Most of the Saints team were cowards, watching Wigan players hold their teammates while they got paggered. Tuson reacted to the cheap shot from Magennis, I've no problem with that. The fight summed the game up really, Wigan fancied it a bit more.

It might make you wonder, but it doesn't really surprise you.

We know the RFL have bailed Bradford out by buying their ground and helping them stay afloat for the last few years but don't encourage him. As for you and your mate Adam Pearson, you know the craic, you're just not smart enough.

To do what?

This.
Some people really need to go outside and give their heads a shake.
To think that a bit of a ruck will condemn our game to the non-RL-understanding public as being played by 'Thick Northern Numpty' types is just plain stupid. For example, all the footy fans that work for me, absolutely loved it!
Take a look at ice-hockey sometime. What makes that particular game so popular? Is it slapping a bit of rubber with a canoe paddle? Dont think so!
Its the chance of biff breaking out at any moment. Its what makes that game so appealing.
If any of the players, including cheap-shot Thugennis get banned....Then our game is in a very poor state indeed. Was anyone bloodied and broken? Was there need of a stretcher or ambulance? Get a grip!
Methinks this is just a case of the usual anti-Wigan mob jumping on the 'cheating pies' bandwagon again.
Be honest, you'd be chuffed if it had been your own team laying the smack down in a full-blooded derby match!
