Thought it was THUMPKINS !

Glad to see nobody is trying to justify what he did! Just plain idiocy!! When he gets banned he will find it very hard to get back into this team, Tuson will be licking his lips!!

Is Sam tomkins not allowed to be tackled ?

Pretty much my thoughts apart fom the long ban thing. Sending off sufficient for me. However Joel is far too easy to wind up and i think there are a lot of people out there that are wise to this now. He really needs to sort this part of his game out because it will cost us big time at some point.

For me he raised his elbow during the 2nd contact but he raised his elbow straight after the fight. Made Gansons job easy but a Hull man should of been binned earlier for the 4 tackles they were done for on Sam.

i am as i said before initial contact was in chest
u see 3 or 4 of them 2 arm smash in defence every game y cant he do it with ball in hand

The tackles on Sam were getting to Joel a bit I think. I sit near the dug-outs and could see Joel chomping at the bit and clenching his fists etc as if he couldn't wait to get on and put it about a bit. Others around me noticed too and you could only see one thing happening from that point.

If the tackle's legal, yes. When, like today, they're constantly around the neck, or while he's in the air after fielding a kick, then no.

Ganson warned Manu repeatedly, but bottled out.

Yeamen should have been spending 10 mins in the bin for throwing three punches at Joel.

Might be an idiot, but I'd go far as say that whole incident actually made us decide to take control of the game. Without that happening, we would have just plodded on and lost.

Joel got himself sent off with a completely needless and blatent foul.

However, Ganson should have dealt with initial incident far better than he did. Should have sent both Joel & Yeaman to the sin bin to cool off after the first punch up.

Instead all he does is have a chat, Joel is handed the ball on the first play and obviously charges straight at Yeaman.

No excuses, a stupid sending off but with better officiating could have been avoided.

your right we had no aggression at all today until after that

Ive posted earlier both Yeamo and Joel should of been binned and then the next incident doesnt happen. Ganson was poor today for me.

Some people need to watch a replay before slating Joel theres nothing in it.

As someone stated i thought Joel was good today before he got sent off, he added alot of enthusiasm to a very lackluster display from the team.

Your probably right in all honesty. We looked a little lethargic today until that point but after it played like men possessed!

Micky McIlorums tackle rushing out of the line on Radford in the first hit up after the red card was awesome to watch. He really is one tough(if slightly mentle) cookie.
