I really hoped he'd get 5+ Hock got 5 for just touvhing a ref! Very dissapointed, but not surprised in the least.
It could be a RFL conspiracy to keep the London team doing well

it is blatantly obvious what happens to the recipient of the challenge affects the punishment. Westwood got 5 games for a very bad challenge and Howell gets 3 for one even worse. The reason? Carlaw was stretchered off and Tomkins got up.

Which opens up a Pandoras box ? Roll around and play act like at football and the punishment is worse ? Play dead even ?

Which year was it that Alex Murphy played the 'dying swan' at Wembley that got Syd Hynes sent off ? 1971 ?

The maybe apocryphal story was that Murphy, when being stretchered off winked at Hynes and said "I'm coming back on. Your not !"

This was the very first time anyone had been sent off at Wembley. Of course quite a few on here, will recall the 1970 Colin Tyrer 'incident' when someone should have been sent-off.
