Quote salfordlad="salfordlad"Anthony Bate is innocent. The ref missed the start of the incident which sparked the fisticuffs.
I still can't understand why the placid Ste Maden was red carded in the NRC Final.'"
Bloody Hell - How many pops did you have ??
Jonny Pownall ran in and gangtackled the prop and he was getting smashed in the face by Maden whilst being unable to defend himself !
He was lucky to get 2 games !!
Remeber the game v Widnes a good few years ago ? I remember Malangi Styles pummelling a Widnes player whilst 2 players held him. Did he get 2 games ?
He got lucky too. He got 4 or 5 !!
In fact, that Brawl accumalated an 18 match ban for about 5 players.
No Maden should have let Liam Higgins stand up first !! Then pummel him !
