So your saying that Raynor accidentally clenched his fist and swung recklessly at an opposition player with zero regard for the consequences to his victim if he got it wrong?

At that speed i don't think he thought anything but stop a try being scored.

He's played the game long enough to calculate the odds of taking the action he did even at that pace. While there's an element of instinct in that speed of decision making, players at that level do know what their doing before they do it.

It was an accident, nothing more.

You're giving Raynor far too much credit. This is the guy that spent time inside for selling fake ink cartridges.

Anyway, back to the game... Royston is having a good un

In your opinion!

In my opinion it was one of the worst and most cowardly malicious attacks to the head I've seen for some time.

There's no place for it in today's game and players who perpetrate that kind of attack should be shown the door.

I think the red card was correct but I think he tried to swing his arm and hope to knock the ball out of Tomkins hands but got it wrong as Sam dived and caught him high.

Clearly!

Obviously Raynor should have predictied the dive and trajectory of it.

I'm just checking, but according to some people's logic if a player misjudges their actions, they shouldn't be held responsible for the consequences??

Only Raynor knows what he intended, but that fact remains he did what he did and the outcome was unacceptable. Ganson had no option.

You clearly don't understand his point do you.

Funny, Wigan fans didnt use that argument when defending Jeff Lima's attack on Chris Clarksons knee.

Apparently, according to Wigan, it was because Clarkson 'just happened to fall the wrong way' maybe Tomkins 'just happened to fall the wrong way'

He may have been holding an ink cartridge in is hand.

What point do you think he was making?

Did Horatio Yed watch the same game and incident as me? He contacted the head when the arm was outstretched before he launched himself. If he'd have been playing at the ball, then he'd have missed the head by about a yard.

Deliberate foul, definate sending off and should have been a penalty try too. Can't remember many clearer cases for an eight pointer. Surprisingly close result too, considering that Bratfut were the supposed whipping boys and were a man down too.

Thought the yellow card was a bit harsh though.
