I think you should read the press release again, instead of believing what you want to believe.
According to the press he did not have a broken eye socket and there is no, repeat no confirmation that he has fractured it either.

Nothing wrong with tomkins's tackle and at the end of the day if hes injured cunningham its a bit of good Kama in my opinion for a player who should have been banned anyway for his own $h1thouse tactics the week before!

Are you Boy George?

Karma FFS!!

I remember last season when my lad was at a warriors summer camp and was made to sit out for tackling "too hard". I thought that was as ludicrous as rugby could get but I was wrong!

Nowt wrong with Sam's tackle - we see it every week and every game from every team!

All I can imagine is that Cunningham has got some photo evidence stashed somewhere, I mean what else is he going to get away with, whilst being "protected" in this way?????

According to the press, he DOES have a fractured eye socket, see the quotes above. Those quotes come from the media who would have taken them from a Wakefield statement / press release.

So, carry on being obtuse about it if you like. You're only making yourselves look silly.

So despite a Wakefield press release saying there was no break and him being cleared to play a week in advance of his next game, then playing in it, you maintain that his eye socket was fractured.

I like you, you're funny.

So two weeks since the incident you still can't find a single official wakey statement saying it was fractured? Give up

oh, and if any one does fracture their zygomatic arch, it very rarely seperates from anything it just ussually show a crack or fisure on the x ray!


admit your wrong when your wrong!

Don't you sometimes wish the internet had never been born? Can't we please put this to bed now?

KC's views at half time and after the game. He is a young kid and plays the game tough and fair. He saw the opportunity to make the tackle and unfortunately it didn’t agree with my knee!"

There seems to be a train of thought that KC is a dirty player - having played in the front row for as long as he has, he most certainly falls into the tough but fair category - alongside Sam in his opinion.

Always good to hear fellow pros with respect for each other in what is a brutal sport.

So even kfc doesn't have a problem with it. Will the saints fans drop it now?

And that is that.

If people want to carry on the discussion about the Cunningham jab, then they can do so on the Saints or Wakey forum.
