Come on, GFB. Seriously?

I will look at the incidents again later, but are you trying to tell us that routine, fair, hard tackles were the main reason behind such commotions?


EDIT: I have had another look now and if you're saying there wasn't even a hint of niggle in the ruck from Fax, then we're all wasting our time having polite chats on here.

Armstrong and Haggerty reacted to the niggle (rightly or wrongly) and the rest is history.

The question? is Reffy is it Leigh has a team or individuals.The "all in" I don't have a problem with,but is it the same individuals who keep creating the "all in".. That for me is what needs addressing.

Well you are right I have just rewatched the second half on Centurion TV.

The Haggerty incident starts at 1 hour 30mins on the video.

Re the Armstrong incident I don't think his head connected with the Fax player although he pretended it did. ie the Fax player pretended it did.

You are correct Atomic, it is the same players but surprisingly the culprits aren't in the pack. At the end of the day I think the forwards respect each other even if they do a give and take a smack. It is mainly the backs, some of whom take it as an insult that a lesser being has tackled them.

paul wood gets dismissed on 27 min's for gouging a leigh player and the fev fans are calling the leigh team thugs......you could not make it up.....could you....

Watch it carefully, there is no gouge.

Woody does have an injury consistent with being gouged though.

Well whatever happened the disciplinary panel will view it and act accordingly.

icon_smile.gif There is absolutely no reason to have your hand in such a deliberate position as Mr Wood did unless you are trying to hurt someone. Fev fans have done a brilliant job at deflecting attention from their thuggery. The guilty always shout loudest.

Probably the only time the ref actually got something right.Hope he is dealt with accordingly by the RFL.

Self harming?

But the disciplinary panel didn't see it the same way as you put it for Armstrong! Did they!

Summary of CM's submissions on the appropriate sanction.....Head butt upper chest area of opponent-light contact-concede may have been some provocation.

Summary of Player's submissions on the appropriate sanction.....Good record. Not a malicious player.

Reasons for Decision...In deciding the appropriate sanction the tribunal accept this is not the more serious of head butts .Contact was not significant but was made with opponent. In deciding the appropriate sanction the tribunal take into account the player’s good previous record and in this instance feel that a 1 match suspension and £100 fine are appropriate.

Fails to mention that Saltonstall gave Armstrong a wink,as he knew he had just sold him a red GFB..

Sorry, I was talking about the Haggerty incident when i mentioned the Disciplinary panel although saying there may have been some provocation is quite ambiguous.

I think I'll leave it there, GFB. Got better things to do with my time...

Yes there is.
