If he did it, he deserves it

I feel like the tackle on Clark itself was fine, it was Connor after the tackle who seemed to be trying to belt Clark while he was on the ground. As for the Bridge altercation, it looked to have been split up and calming down, then Myler? comes in trying to have a pop (possibly due to just seeing 4 Hudds players around Bridge though they weren't doing anything) and it kicks off again.

There were actually loads of Hudds fans at the John Smith's stadium, it was fancy dress day and they all came dressed as empty seats.

If you have a player who has spat at an opponent, deny it happened. When it's proved change the subject to the oppositions crowd which has nothing to do with the subject.

Very classy.

With regards to England he's lucky to have only got 4.

However he put his hands up. He'll sit it out for a few weeks. Hopefully learn from it and it will never happen again.

The lad can then get on with his career.

"I'd like to apologise to Danny Brough, my club and all our supporters. It happened in the heat of the moment and is something I completely regret."

It happens you move on..

I'm a neutral,but I also read the rfl disciplinary.
Name Danny Brough
Incident considered Striking in the 45th minute
Decision No charge
Details of Charge / Reason for NF Player becomes involved in confrontation and seeks to continue altercation with opponent. Sin Bin Sufficient.

With regards to England he should have licked his head.

exactly the same words written in Englands disciplinary - what's your point?

my favourite is this gem from them.
ryan atkins
Player attempting to make tackle on opponent. Player is reaching and makes contact with his hand to opponent’s face. Contact is no forceful. Penalty sufficient.
well yes of course it would have been - shame one wasn't awarded though eh!

What do you want the RFL to do? make us all replay the game?

Nah,don't do that, Hudds will get even less than the paltry 5,000 odd that turned up for the original match.....

for anyone who wasn't t the game, both England and Brough were stood "engaging" with one another for a good minute after the altercation, only kept apart by tv tony's flag, hence the wording on the disciplinary.

i am surprised though that only one player was banned after that, anyway he's doing his time now and time to move on.

we will ask if we can award you the 2 point as we don't attract the many may thousands more that the more successful warrington wolves do, good jobs games aren't won on how many fans you have

www.therfl.co.uk/the-rfl/disciplinary/item?6525 interesting read, the panel accepted that he didnt spit AT brough, just towards him/the floor in a disrespectful manner.

There was a clear shot of the incident on the field on the superleague show where it looked like something flew through the air from England in Brough's direction. As for the Clark incident ,the spear tackle was in fact a wrestling type body slam & it was unclear what started the flare up ,as with the Bridge /Crabtree incident. Has there been any previous history on or off the field between these players perhaps ?

connor 'slapped' clark in the face twice while he was on teh floor, first one looked intentional the second not so much as he was falling over.

Maybe we should ask for the Hull game to be postponed

I think he is very lucky to have only got 4 matches and given Tony Smiths comments today I suspect he is too. However England is not the only one who should have been in front of the RFL this week. How on earth did McIlorum get away with his acts of violence yet again last week, they were at best as bad as what Benny did to get his ban the week before
