However if it is proved to be an elbow then its a stonewall red and a 6-8 game ban as it could easily break someones jaw'"


It was an elbow. He has positioned his arm in a way that ensures the point of the elbow is the first point of contact.

I think everybody (outside the bottom 4, well 3 apart from Leeds) wanted you to be promoted because you deserve to be there. I want to see Wigan v Leigh in a league game again. I want Leigh to prove they arent just a flash in the pan. I think you will easily be in the bottom 4 next year, however i do believe you will be way to strong for the following middle 8s. I think Leigh are here to stay.

It was late and high - said to the missus as it happened that he's walking for that.

Not much else to add really, he hasn't thrown force behind it to maliciously injure the Wire lad but that doesn't really matter, clear red card.

Explain what? It's as clear as day that you have a side chocked full of bad eggs. You've got the ultimate 'wrong un' in Hock (and we should know)! Jamie Acton is another ex player of ours who is a disgrace and then you've got the Sam Barlow case (which by the sounds of things has left him lucky not to be serving time at her majesty's pleasure).

As for your board, your owner is a pure idiot who has little respect in the game. I believe the behaviour of your owner and directors at some games has been very poor (especially against Bradford on a couple of occasions).

As I say your opinion on foul play or poor behaviour won't hold much weight.

Other than launching himself at him elbow first? Should be min 4 matches but as its wigan he'll get not guilty and a written apology from hicks

Leigh are going to have a massive step up in weekly intensity next year. This year, most of their games have been won at a canter (which isn't a criticism, you can only beat what is in front of you).
Next year, they will be playing SL teams every week, and not just the ones who have finished at the lower end. Can they cope with a run of games against the likes of Wigan, Hull FC, Saints, Warrington etc? They will also pick up far more injuries due to the high intensity of the league than they have strolling past part-time opposition this year.
I hope they do well and they deserve their place, but a gruelling SL season is a completely different proposition to the previous two years.

And Wane is a model of integrity. Gaz Hock has done no wrong at Leigh. Acton can be a c0ck Derek is a hero in Leigh and dont beleive all that you read in the Mark Green column. What do you know about Barlows case other than what you hear in the playground? I said take a deep breath and give us the facts not just a silly tantrum

I think it probably deserves 3-4 games.

And if he's really trying to hurt him, he doesn't turn his back and lose the momentum, he'd charge with the elbow in front of him. Not defending it at all, it's rightly deserving of a season ending ban - but we've all seen worse.

Please don't defend him. That was a shocking. A deliberate forearm to the throat.

After the Grand Final, I felt he should never be allowed on a rugby field again. It was so obviously a sending off offence tonight and he still saw fit to argue the case while he was walking.

A great come back tonight. Once you decided to start playing rugby there was only going to be one winner. As a Hull fan, it sets up a great finale at the KC next Friday.

Looks like you'll now finish second and whoever loses next week will face a tough semi final at your place.

We have all indeed seen worse. Indeed, we have seen worse from this particular player.
However, I'm struggling to think of anything quite as dangerous as leading into the face of a vulnerable player with the elbow in this or recent seasons.
Perhaps the tackle on Fages by the Catalans player a couple of years ago...
