I think its good to see a bit of biff and emotion in the game with the players, some of them hardly seem to care about the shirt but some certainly like to get there sleeves rolled up adn fight for everything.

Whilst i like to see a bit of biff and fighting on the pitch, i totally agree with any in the stands this is not a place where it should spread to.

Jordan James headbutted Clint Newton on Saturday night.
Clint laughed at him, had some verbals and then the next time he had the ball smashed his way through the Celtic defence from 20 yards so yeah let them have a bit of biff.

Our game is good enough not to rely on fights for cheap entertainment. If you want to see a sport where fighting is tolerated, go and watch ice hockey and see how entertaining that is. Or go and watch UFC. Or even better, grow up.

yeah ....outside now






sorry that was disgraceful

Bring back the biff !

Well some anyway.

RL's a tough game played by tough men (and women!). I don't mind of two players square up to each. Enhances the spectacle and gives a boost to the energyin teh game often. They shouldn't ban players unless it is a cowardly attack.

Every game should have a little bit of biff in it if only to spice it up and lift the fans and atmosphere etc.

I miss proper Biff !

Is your nose bleeding all the way up there on your high horse?

Don't mind a good dust up every now and again. It's inevitable in the heat of battle that someone is going to get riled and it'll all kick off. Nowt wrong with it, in my view and (unless someone takes a blind side cheap shot, or summat) should be dealt with by sin binnings and nothing more.

If two blokes are game then who cares?

Attacks on those who are not game aren't welcome.

But those who are - no problem, get stuck in.

Agree, some of the high horse attitudes on here are laughable

I wonder if any of those who are condeming the use of a scuffle have actually ever played rugby or simply spent their time sat comfortably on a sofa? If a bloke kept having sly digs at you without the referee noticing, would you just hold tight and do nothing and hope to get him back with a big tackle? Aim to be the bigger man or something?

To be honest I used to love it when the Hull derby would kick off on the pitch. The last season we played Hull in Div 1 (think 1997) there must have been at least one fight in 3 out of the 4 times we played them. Can't think of one kick-off though since we've played them in SL, and put that down to the modern game and professionalism of the players.

As long as no-one gets really hurt I don't see the harm in the odd brawl and as said it definitely gets the crowd going in a big way, especially in a derby. When we shared our main stand with Hull back then the atmosphere would get even louder when Rob Wilson (usually) would get into a fight with a Duller.

Or wrestling (which is a million times better and more entertaining then UFC ).

Because if done correctly it is an art form and is extremely entertaining. The odd rugby fight also doesn't do any harm, but UFC I just find really uncomfortable to watch, e.g. because you know the guy is legitimately getting beat up and probably seriously hurt.

P.S. Those chair shots are far from pretend.
