If someone walks into you in a crowded are you dont put a forearm into their chest and push-
If you did that in a crowded barb you'd expect a smack in the mouth. If he'd put out the flat of his hands fair enough but his action was aggressive and deserves a ban.

Consistency is all we ask for, Jamie Peacock back end of last season springs to mind as one example. Next I will get told it is different!

Some utter spouted on here. Can't stand Carney but Child walked into him, Carney did raise his arm which was bizarre but he didn't push and he wasn't aggressive.

Same rubbish being spouted by the usual suspects. He could have hugged Childs, given him a kiss on the cheek and he'd still have got a ban. Total lack of consistency and someone (likely playing for one of the "big" clubs) will do far worse in the coming weeks and the RFL will do sweet FA.

I'd like to know if Child reported this as he did nothing at the time and it'll likely be some fat ar$ed, jobsworth desk monkey at the RFL who has probably flagged it.
