Do you need to be looking at someone in order to locate their eye? It's fairly straightforward.

Expected nothing less from the homosexual hater.

Position of the hand and fingers says it all for me

dont worry nowt will get done...probably ban chris hill for having his head there...

ah to be fair you cant make decision on a photo maybe I was being generous to Leeds and not wanting to be labelled a sour grape eater an idiot or crazy?

taking the photo alone as evidence as I didnt see the incident in the game it does look worse than Hocks eye gouge on Harrison . you could say he's got his fist on Hills face which is most likely to happen in a tackle so then you ask yourself why has one finger been unfurled and ended up in his eye socket???

Gaz hocks eye gouge was actually less dangerous than Hardakers as no fingers went in the eye socket like hardaker - Hock probably didnt do him self any favours by following it up with an uppercut.

I'd like to see the incident in the game to see what the reaction was as when Hock unleashed his fingers all hell broke loose even Matt King steamed in....

Considering sinfields efforts got a 2 match ban I would say he will get an mbe ?

Hardaker is a bigoted, horrible little scrote who fits-in well with some of his team mates.

Over to the RL.

1.47:20 on the iPlayer. It's absolutely nothing at full speed.

In the replays it's clear Hardaker's hand touches Hill around the eye (not into the socket), but it's when he's trying to get his hands round Hill to wrap up the ball with Hill over the goal line. At full speed you can see his hand come away from the face as soon as he's touched it. There is no way anyone "goes" for the eyes there. The video ref and commentators also don't notice anything wrong over five slo-mo replays. Hill doesn't complain either. As a rugby player he'll have been poked or scratched in the eye accidentally many times before.

I think the reason Hill and the team didn't react to this is because it wasn't obvious. Hocks was followed by a punch.

The slimy little rat Hardaker did it slyly and Hill obviously thought it was an accident as he couldn't see the tacklers and their positions.

With video evidence and his previous record of homophobic abuse he SHOULD cop a minimum 5 match ban. Gouging is a Grade E-F offence so the max he could face is a period suspension.

I believe the RFL will try and grade it as contact with the head or some bs so he only gets a couple games.

Even matt king steamed in?? I hope this was tongue in cheek mr.biscuit as i seem to recall king nearly always being first in when some biff broke out. I remember him flying in after baileys cheap shot on riley in the last second of the cc final.

A still picture can tell a thousand tales, i'll wait until a proper review before passing judgement.

Quite true about a still picture, but I commented on the fact he looked like he was gouging Hilly whilst watching it live so it can't have been off the face that quickly

But the RL rules do state that you cannot use a head guard as a lever or grip point to complete a tackle because it's attached to the head and therefore a head high tackle; so I guess we can blame (again) poor on field refereeing ??

Watched the match back, no doubt it is totally deliberate and Hill drops the ball in reaction to the gouge.

Hardaker is a disgrace.
