I agree with the guidelines as Rugby is a hard game played by hard people so you are always going to get scraps, the only thing I dont agree with is the consistency of the RFL but that is for another topic altogether!

This is now best left as we are just going round in circles!

No, because you know very well the point that we are discussing yet when examples are being made to substantiate a point you are coming back with ridiculous things like [i'so rugby has the same rules as boxing in that you are allowed to punch your opponent'.[/i

So, for that alone, yes I believe you are on a wind up and, seemingly, one of the only few who is keeping this thing alive.

That poster tried to bring boxing in as an argument against my view that physical assault is worse than verbal assault. Punching is very much allowed in boxing but it isn't in Rugby. Let me try a different example, driver A cuts up driver B, driver B gets out of his car, which is worse, driver b shouts a hurtfull name at driver A or driver B punches driver A several times in the face?

But that isn't offending the individual and the viewing public.
but if driver A calls him an homophobic or resist remark and heard by the police both drivers will end up being charged.

I give up trying to help you see the woods for the trees.

We all know that physical violence is worst than verbal and people are just avoiding saying so because they can see where logic will take them

Why are you still banging on about this? We do have a match involving OUR TEAM tonight you know!

It's a forum with multiple thread's go on any you choose, i find it interesting that people keep wanting it to cease, usually means they are on shakey ground.

No it means we have taken this to a point that we no longer care.

It's happened, it's been dealt with, we've all had our say, now mods please lock it before someone posts something that's really stupid.

so where is this lawyer of yours now eh?

and well done for being completely wrong.

Wrong about what? I'm never wrong.

In that case, congratulations for being right.

Thanks mate. Have a nice day.
