F.....all

I have to say it did ruin the game but I loved every bit of it! LMS wanted his head on the outside of the scrum but packed down wrong. He came under hocks face and the heads rubbed together and bingo, bit of biff.

Tuson and the coward we're face to face holding each others shirt and nothing. As soon as Tuson turned round the coward let fly. Tuson had no choice but to fight back. Mossop stayed out of it until right at the end when he put the coward on his hoop!

The sad part is next week. We're likely to have hock, Micky Mac, Tuson, Hansen, Prescott, flower and Fielden all missing!

That would leave us very light up front.

Just watched the fight back, Magennis deserves a lengthy ban. Not just for punching Tuson when he had turned away, but he gave lockers one right in the mush for trying to break it up and I'm pretty sure he was trying to go for Mossop before he put him on his back side. He was trying to punch anyone within reaching distance. I won't argue If Hock gets a ban, His record certainly won't help but I think in Tuson's case a red card should be sufficient, and hopefully Mossops clean record should mean he's ok too. Although this is the RFL so probably all get game or 2 each... I still don't see why LMS should be getting away scott free. And I still fail to see this "head butt" from Hock. Looked like LMS was putting his face right up against Hock. Not that I'm excusing Hock punching him. The saints fans are foaming at the mouth about the "scum bag" but must have missed Magennis throwing cowardly punches like it was going out of fashion.

Magennis. Scum.

I dont think LMS threw a punch did he?
Hock was throwing in some very sly punches in that might not have been seen by the ref/cameras.

Magennis was shocking. Very cowardly.
Rather not see him play for Saints ever again to be honest.

I've watched it a few times and it's pretty much handbags between LMS and Hock. (Certainly not seen this 'headbutt' that's been mentioned). I think this would have been two yellows had Magennis not descended it to a full on brawl.

LMS stook his head into Gaz, Gaz reacted badly. IMO both should of got a sin binning, thats all. As for Tuson and Magennis, both deserved a red, Magennis more so

Not sure Tuson deserved anything to be quite honest unless he did something I didnt see? maybe a yellow to calm him down but I dont blame him one bit for his reaction.

Tuson deserved a red card for that hair cut!

Your probably right mate. It'd should of been a sin bin for both. Some leniency has to be taken into account, especially in derby games

did Thaler call it as a weekly round match when it should have been a derby match?

What is it with LMS and these derby games? I get the impression he's trying to ingratiate himself with the St. Helens fans by constantly looking to get involved in these incidents. There was a high shot from him after the biff. He was also looking for it on Good Friday and in the game at Widnes he made a pretty pathetic attempt at goading Wigan fans.
Him and Hock should've got 10 minutes. Magennis and Tuson correct red cards. I don't blame Tuson for reacting, but he did give him a good pasting.
