True.

Mason punching Hansen in the BACK of the head whilst he was scrapping with another player.

Now thats cowardly

I'm of the opinion that if you turn your back to disguise your play, don't be surprised if the defender takes no chances and tackles you. This is only made the news because Robinson is 5' 7" therefore a tackle by the much taller Lockers seems worse than it actually is. Had the same play been made on Crabtree, nothing would've been said. Before any other team's fans accuse me of bias, we watch Sam getting targeted week in week out but I accept that he is an important playmaker for us so other teams will try to stop him at all costs.

I wonder who will be next?

It never fails to make me grin that list!

If i was Luke Brown i would be mortified ATM. it is like having your mum turn up at School and have a go at the lads who were picking on you.

What a load of rubbish. Fair enough if it was a really bad hit, right in the face, breaking bones, putting Robinson out of the game for the rest of the season. But it was on the chest, and Robinson got up about 30 seconds later and played the rest of the game. The only thing wrong with it was that it was about half a second late which can even be justified because Lockers was committed and Robinson turned so Lockers couldnt see that he had thrown the ball.

I thought Brown was a respectable coach but he is making himself look like a right idiot over all this, the best thing would have for him to just shut up about it, put his head down and concentrate on the big matches he has got coming up, keep quiet and let his players do the talking.

I wouldnt be surprised if O'Loughlin has an absoloute blinder on the 15th, this will give him alot of motivation no doubt about that.

So true, they are bending the rules but it is within them. You cannot blame them. I wouldn't say it ruins the game because both teams are quality. Every game we play we see awesome tries scored by us because we play awesome attacking rugby and it takes some special plays to beat us. It is not ruining the game but perhaps not allowing it to reach its potential.

As a rugby league fan for life I love tight defensive games but surely it would be better for the sport if it was quicker and high scoring, that way more newbies would get on board.

However, what we don't want is such a rapid play the ball that one team can just win a game by 60 scoring all points from QPTB.

I do think we need to protect the playmakers as well but his rant about Lockers was just silly.
Tomkins and eastmond get knocked about all the time but they take it and get on with it.

I thought he was the guy we would get support from but obviously not.

He should be spending more time looking at why his team REALLY lost and spend less time time talking to journos about a nothing hit that he thinks deserved a ridiculous ban.

The worst one of that sort i've ever seen was that Harlequins winger on Sam Tomkins, where he just deliberately stuck is elbow to his head when running full pelt. That was worth 2 months, this was worth nothing more than a sin bin.

was the centre howell, and he did get banned and battered of Joel aslo
