You coward, to try and maim another professional you should be ashamed of yourself!!!!!

Shocking challenge that was. Surely as bad as Newtons on Long a few years ago.

10 matches minimum.

Just so I don't make a fool out of myself - can you clarify this thread is a wind-up.

Probably was but wont be seen as such as Tomkins didn't get seriously injured which seems to be the deciding factor on whether short or long bans are given. IMO should get 10 games but will probably get 3

It is now.

Would have to see it again on SKY before commenting.

Just so I know - you are joking?

I just watched it on Sky+ as i only got in from work a 21.30. It was a blatent attack to the head with his elbow. Having played rugby for 12 years it can only have been intentional as you just don't do that accidently.

no wind up, players like Platt and Bell were hard men, this fella went for the cheap shot and was too thick to even get it right and connect...pure evil in my book whether he connected or not his elbow was raised and imo intent was there, he [ishould[/i get at least 4 games but bet he doesn't

Congratulations you have confirmed you are an idiot.

It was a shocking play. No attempt to make a legal challenge, he simply threw the elbow intentionally trying to fell Tomkins, one of the worst i have seen.

i have seen boxers throw a simillar "punch" in pro bouts, a loose punch with a big elbow follow through, could have easily broken Tomkins jaw.

So you would like to see this in our game more often?

would you be saying that if it had Pat trying to take out a Saints player like that?

Even quins fans are saying he should be banned.

Howell is a ****.
