You are so critical of others views and tell people to watch the incident again but you seem to not understand what started the incident in the first place... which is obvious to me!

It was not 50/50 headbanging in the scrum, it was numpty Hock who decided, for some reason only known to himself and his few remaining brain cells, to try and take the head from LMS at the scrum. Hock is clearly trying to unlawfully take the outside head at a Saints head and feed, and LMS is quite entitled to try and take the outside head. It then turns into hang bags as Hock continues to dip his head under LMS's to take the outside head and LMS, quite rightly, keeps trying to take it back. When both props then decide enough is enough and stand, it is Hock who takes hold of LMS and starts throwing the punches.

LMS does not do a great deal wrong IMO other than stand up to Hock's stupidity in trying to take the head. Hock quite rightly saw a card, the colour of which is up for debate, but equally I think Hock's actions are worthy of at least a one to two match suspension.... I think LMS will be playing at the weekend and also rightly so!

I think you should take another look!

That's all I can see at the minute!

Problem is that British league is too influenced by the sport of football, and their over-reactive, think-of-the-children attitudes are infecting our game.

The biff puts nobody off the game. State of Origin is the most watched League game in the world, is that coincidence? I don't think I've seen any fact-based argument for the odd punch-up holding back the sport. It's a claim that people make, but never put weight to.

I also think it hurts us internationally, because when the pressure cooker is turned up our players and fans alike look to the referees to win us the game and referee as soft as they do in SL games, which isn't going to happen.

In the NRL if a minor dust-up like that had 3 players red carded, in a world class derby game of all places, the media and fans would explode with anger and the referee would probably be sent back to reserve grade. I've heard commentators blow up when players are sin binned for a scrap( storm vs dragons- the biff is back, on Youtube)

I don't even believe a red card would have been shown in rugby yawnion, the sport where they eat prawn sandwiches and Pâté on toast at half time
