You forgot barmaid abuse

Give over

According to an article in the Hull Daily Mail today Tomkins could play for KR next weekend.

It won't be long before he gets a name and reputation if he keeps it up.

Keeps what up? 1 incident which hasn’t been adjudicated on yet?

Les Boyd came here with a "reputation" 34 years ago. He got sent off in Wire games, once, in four years. It went to disciplinary. Found not guilty.

Austin got cited for 2 things, last week.The busyboddying RFL said no problem.
Yesterday, from the coverage we've seen from South Stand cameras, show no thuggery (imo) took place. If there's coverage from the North Stand showing otherwise, then he'll be appropriately penalised.

Until then, I suggest the untwisting of knickers

From my eyes, he was completing a tackle with some aggression. No worse than the likes of Tompkin's dirty fall ons. I would never wish ill upon a player, but Joel Tompkins has received some karma here, intention or no intention from Austin. Conclusion: probably a ban for Austin; no sympathy for a grub like Tompkins.

I never said he was...I said if he keeps it up. What he gets away with, like the said Tomkins, is what opposition fans will shape his reputation with.

You said he was an Aussie Danny Brough. Seemed a bit of a grub.

I reckon it's a bit soon for any labels. Let's see what the outcome is of the disciplinary. I do suspect Austin's using offence as best form of defence though. The minute he pulled on a Wire jersey as a marquee player there was a target on the back of it. Let's ensure that's just in the eyes of the opposition players and fans though rather than our own.

If it was a late flop, surely the player wasn’t held? So no case to answer?

Can't even call it a flop. Flop is a man coming late into a completed tackle, which this wasn't. It was a tackle. The only doubt is over whether it was reckless, dangerous, malicious or unlucky. I'd go with the latter, as I was sat close to incident, and that video footage hasn't changed my mind.

I said.

Austin for all his class seems a bit of a grub. An Aussie Danny Brough.

I tried to make a tongue in cheek opinion of a possible present and/or near future scenario, whereas your misquote tries to imply it a statement of historic fact.

I dont think anyones in doubt that the tackle needed completing, its just a case of wether contact was made with the head.
I dont think anything malicious has gone on and if there is contact its probably more careless than anything.

Hardly a misquote. Didn't realise you need folk to repeat what you said verbatim, but pretty sure nothing really changes there. I haven't screwed with your comment.

Unbunch your feathers.

Amused by Danny McGuire's histrionics about foul play, waving his elbow at anyone who would look at it. Perhaps thats what he was doing in the second half when he gave a tackled Goodwin a facial on the floor with his forearm...
