Yeah, but if that's what they are ...
Don't worry, you're not the first person to try the 'I bet he could still batter you' piffle. You may be right, you may not. Neither of us will ever know.

Hardly neutral though is it? I'm willing to bet wish FM didnt see much wrong. If a neutral former player on a neutral radio station says it then it may be worth paying attention to. If a former KR player on a KR radio station says KR were hard done too I'm not going to pay it much heed.

And you think your "my dad's bigger than yours" approach redressed that, do you?

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

It is that simple. It will be reviewed and if necessary taken to the tribunal (all of whom are independent) Now as fans with our whatever coloured specs on we may not see it that way.
At the game yesterday I thought it was an poor tackle and I'm quite willing to let the disciplinary have look and will go with their findings. They are far more experienced with this than you or I.

Can’t argue with that, incidentally Rogues, my specs are black and white, so hardly biased

It worked for Robert Hicks.

| I also thought it was a bad one at the game. Despite the online furore, having seen the video I can understand why no action was taken on the day. It's clear that the direction of impact was with the natural bend of the knee and had he come in slower to get a squeeze on the legs u doubt anything would have been said. Coming in at the pace he did though was reckless and will probably pick up a ban. Not the worst I've seen by any stretch but he did punch someone 6 years ago so probably deserves 10 games or something..

The words "Robert Hicks" and "work" don't belong in the same sentence

Ah. That explains the snowflakery on behalf of DDD.

Never got the hump, just defending a real good guy

| 2 game ban for Flower
Partington is on a Grade D charge which has been referred to tribunal.
That prop rotation will be in full flow now.

On numerous occasions yesterday we had 2 players holding up an opponent whilst a third attacked the legs. I cringe every time I see it. Re Flower, his approx 10 metres gained yesterday won’t be missed imo.
