My eyes are getting worse , I though this thread was about Stealing ie Pinching .

I am a paid up member of the old school,so the peacock scrap did not even register on my scale of punch ups.
Yes I know it's against the latest rules etc etc,but for me it should be yellow card end of story.
The same for the carney incident as well.
What does need severely punishing is the spear tackle,this has caused severe injuries to several players. Most recently the one in Australia.

Agree. However the RFL are not 'old school' so I expect both players to be charged. I'd rather an incident like that be dealt with the way Thaler did but it isn't the case anymore. The current rules mean JP should have walked. Leeds got lucky.

the problem is less the rules though but the consistency of the application.
in some sense i dont give a monkey what the rule is, however what I DO want is a consistent interpretation of it.
this my dear giraffe is the nub of the issue. peacock is a great plyaer, and well respected. however he has time and again got away with behaviour which other players have been banned for.
the rfl appear to have certain players they ike and others that they victimise (out of this country in the case of Mozza)

the RFL are amateur from top to bottom and deserve a damn good kicking.

Typical classless Wigan fans trying to get a player from peers banned, but see nothing wrong when their players do wrong. The Leigh player started it and peacock finished it nice bit of biff yellow cards sufficient.

Not sure which is worse, someone throwing two or three punches two of which missed after being headbutted on the floor or someone making a head high tackle that could seriously cause damage to an opponent.
Let's hope the RL view both cases the same and JP gets off without a ban.

Re. Flynn v Carney - Flynn submitted an early guilty plea because of no previous and got 2 matches. Carney sent off 4 times last season and been warned about his conduct this season - 2 matches. Justice? You decide.

If there is any consistency Peacock should have been sent off. I think if any other player had done the same as Peacock in that match they would have been.

Sadly punching will cop you a ban these days which is a real shame even worse a sending off.
That and the stupid inconsistent rule on obstruction are spoiling this great game.
Players going toe to toe is all part of the game and gets the crowd and the players going.
Sin bin then move on but we all know that is not going to happen.

Why would we be down?... We may have lost yesterday, but we still support the greatest RL club in the world...

Just saying..
