But the point is not [ijust[/i about what causes the most damage to the player, it's about respect and public perception as well. Spitting in someones face (if that is what he did) is a complete no no. It 'brings the game into disrepute', it unravels the money spent by the RFL on promotion, it undermines the image of the game, parents will not want to bring their kids to the HJ to see their heroes spitting, sponsors don't want to see their name associated with the bad publicity etc etc. We already have a minority sport and you can see from the current standards of RL how few youngsters are playing the game and coming through the ranks, we really don't need to shoot ourselves in the foot as well. Pissing on the Cenotaph is unlikely to cause any damage at all, but I suspect the courts and the Daily Rag would not deal too kindly with you.

For the blind ones suggesting Bridge was getting 'beaten up', watch the video where you can clearly see 2 other Giants players, Hughes and Mcgillvary, one dragging Eorl away the other dragging Bridge away, in fact it appears that a Wire player actually caused the bigger brawl when they came running in swinging !! - but hey, if that's beating someone up then fair enough !!

as for England he's lucky not to get a gouging charge to go with that other big, tough manly act of spitting !!!

Which video? Link?

what i saw on that was clark getting hit in the face whilst on the floor twice.

What I saw on that was absolutely nothing.... Handbags.... This is rugby league, things like this happen... Totally blown out of proportion if you ask me.... England will get the ban that he deserves.... end of, case closed. time to move on.

Clark shouldn't have been binned

That video must have been edited because a few wire fans saw bridge getting brutally beaten up by 4 players!!

Awkward!

With regards to the second it was right for Connor to walk. Little bit harsh on Clark.

On seeing that I think it's correct that neither team had any players cited. As mentioned it was just handbags.

Must have something on England for him to be charged. If it's proved- throw the book at him. If not - move on.

Neither should Brough but i think both were victims of the Refereeing policy which seems to be that if there is an incident a player of both teams MUST be sin-binned regardless of what actually happened. In both cases they were the nearest to the incident so IMO were picked out cos of that.

Agree Daz.

Just catching up on the SL show. Clark did retaliate so by the letter of the law had to get 10. But in reality it was harsh.

England could be in bother. SL show just showed him spitting at Brough.

Some of the clowns on here should watch it then have a rest from here for a few days.

England might be resting for a lot longer mind.

This thread now has more posts from Huddersfield fans than the Huddersfield forum.

More Hudds fans on here than at the John Smiths Stadium on a match day.

You obviously don't know Chris Hill, the guy is a total gentleman a credit to the Hill family and I KNOW wouldn't stoop to anything remotely similar to this offence.

And I bet many who don't go live within spitting distance of the ground.....

hes been given 4 matches, silly silly boy
