To be fair, he did run over from quite a way out before the other players realised Yeaman was throwing punches.

Also, for future reference, head high tackles on a player running at full pelt are either
a) According to a Hull fan, a gust of wind/being shot by an imaginary bullet and totally legit.
b) According to the RFL, penalty sufficient.

Manu was disgraceful wasn't he? Guess not eh!

Manu got warned 3 times by ref but no case to answer? Get ed.

Other players were windmilling but thats ok?

Yeaman has been charged.

He'll just get a ticking off.

It might the same charge as Godwin but absolutely no comparison of what they did.

Any chance we might appeal or are we just gonna let the RFL take the out of us again?

My gut feeling from reading the charge summary is that Sam will get a 2 game suspension.

Godwin got 3, and had the temerity to plead not guilty, but they both ran in and invloved themselves in something they shouldn't have.

Depends on what the decisions are. If both Sam and Joel are banned then we've got a better chance of getting Joel's overturned on appeal than we do with Sam. I think Sam is the more likely to be banned and the more likely to get the longest ban.

Another one with a very vivid imagination, he was spoken to once and that was the on report incident.

Whats a grade B offence in terms of matches ban ?

The "Coley" report makes me laugh. It says "dangerous contact,58th min on Fitzgibbon".
It goes on "Player grips around ball and chest, not neck,no crusher or unnaceptable risk of injury, penalty sufficient". After reading that it should have said "penalty incorrect".

I've always called Fergie an idiot after what he used to say about protecting Ronaldo etc but to effectively condone what Manu did to Tomkins is ludicrous. For a player to be assaulted about 3 times during a match then be the one that faces a ban just shows how amateurish the RFL really are and that doesn't help when we want to make ourselves a more attractive prospect than union.
