Quote: Gibs Number 6 "Seriously, are we watching a rugby league game or a game of football. Not one player should've seen red yesterday. They are playing rugby for gods sake - a contact sport that sometimes results in a bit of a scrap! Hock and LMS should've seen yellow and gone to cool off for 10 mins, as should Tuson and McGiness.
There is no way that Hock, LMS or Tuson should receive bans.... how many times have you seen fighting in a rugby game - they get 10 mins and nobody mentions it again.
McGunnes should get 1 game as he started the fight with Tuson by coming on the blind side, as should Mossop for throwing one VERY GOOD punch! Mossop should've stayed out of it (although i did love the punch!).
They are rugby players not fairies that play footy! Let's not let our sport go the same way as that by banning for a bit of handbags!'"
Agreed.
It should have been yellow cards for 4 players and that should have been it - with only MGennis and Mossop worthy of a closer look by the RFL.
Of the two although Mossop shoudn't have done it - it did seem the only way to stop Mgennis as he was throwing haymakers at anyone in reach - not sure the rflwill see that as an act of peace though!.
If every front rower was banned for a few punches at a scrum (of which none of Hocks seem to make any contact) there would hardly be any on the field.
