This wasn't a bit of 'biff'.

It was an intentional unprovoked assault on an unexpectant opponent.

In any other line of work, Cunningham would be questioned by the police.

You can punch someone hard and nothing will be done for it. How many times do we see punches being thrown around the play the ball and nothing is ever done. People are just getting ahead of themselves because there is a serious injury. The actual physical contact was minimal, Cunningham had a man on top of him so his backswing was non existent and he was holding a rugby ball. Try it, seriously, lie on your back on the floor with your shoulders down, hold a cushion in your hand and try to make a punch. It's impossible. Stosic was just very unlucky, one of those inocuous contacts in sport that have disproportionate outcomes but you can't do anything to Cunningham because of it. If they did they would have to start issuing bans for every minor indiscretion and I bet every single game of Super League has an event worse than the little half punch Cunningham did.

I've had worse on the football field believe me. Took a knee to the cheek once and it turned inwards to the same extent it used to turn outwards. Back to my beautiful self now though.

Stosic 'may' be fit to play at the weekend. I was in hospital for two weeks.

Clueless. KC probably bench presses 150kg from a similar position and has rock hard and powerful muscles from years of top level RL. I'd love to see any of us take a short jab from KC and dismiss it.

There's a serious injury because KC took the opportunity to inflict one on an unsuspecting opponent who may have just niggled him, but certainly didn't deserve that. Stosic was not unlucky; he was punched by a very strong man and has suffered damage.

Fortunately the RFL rules appear to take into account the damage done and length of time he may be out, as well as the unprovoked nature of the attack in the first place.

Would you say the same if Feka had done the same to Roby? No, you'd be doing your nut and don't even try and pretend otherwise.

2 or 3 match ban for me.
I love a bit of biff but that wasn't anything like.

No your wrong big time, I know from being a boxer that a sharp little punch can just be if not worse that a big power punch, even more so if hits in the right spot. so stop typing nonsense, Cunningham should be banned for 3 or 4 games.

I really hope you get punched hard this weekend and maybe a poke in the eye for good measure see how you feel then

spanner

did it have a lasting affect on your brain?

If he is on the sidelines for too long he'll lose his conditioning.....

unprovoked attack a bit like Newton and you lot wanted his head and the ban to be more than the injuries

Injuries should be a deciding factor, as for JD on wellens he hit him with the palm in the chest/shoulder and it rose up, more of a push and he'll get nothing for it as it doesn't warrant anything.

Yes ask Jamie Peacock who has hit out plenty times this season and not been banned

As opposed to NRL this morning where the attacking player hit out with a forearm on the ground to the defender. The penalty was awarded rightly to the defence.

He missed with the forearm fortunately but the intent was there.

So last week Saints cut Grix up so badly he needed to have stitches inside his mouth and also on the outside by the doctor at the stadium and then additional work done at the hospital. They got away with that and now this week you've got this, which he will probably get away with.

Untrue.
