just flicking through at night and i read this so seeing as you ask Duke i don't agree with him, violence at a rugby match should be frowned upon by everyone, i never said there wasn't violent people who support a team I'm not naive to think that, just not the millions wigan fans make out.

Although violence on the pitch is ok in moderation

Swearing not really, gestures from fans no issue with, players yes i have an issue with.

No one can accuse me of being a hypocrite, like to think i'm always consistent. See it's not because it's Sam

this is what the rfl had to say about super richie myler,

"The RFL have written to Richie Myler confirming that his actions were misconduct and not those expected of a professional. Myler is well regarded by his club and many supporters in the game, and this incident appeared to be out of character. On that basis the RFL will not take any further action against Myler, but have warned him about his future conduct. If an incident of this nature takes place again he is likely to face disciplinary action."

so no action by them against sam if they follow precedent.

So hopefully a precedent exists and no direct action/ban will ensue.

The fact that Sam has been consistently booed and taunted by Leeds's and other fans for the past three months (unlike Myler, who hadn't been booed by anyone)) is another mitigating factor in Sam's favour.

A warning letter that any repeat of such behaviour would be punished more severely would be the logical and consistent response by the RFL.
