And your fans defended him almost to a man and said it wasn't anything!!!!

Then Tomkins makes what is a legitimate tackle (No-one will ever know if he MEANT him an injury) and there looking to string him from the nearest Gallows!!!!

TBH it's all a load of boll0x and if that's all Staind fans can moan about after a game as hard as that then it'll do for me, They know they have, like Wigan don't, any excuses.

Most composed team won and both teams come out of it with a lot of credit!!!!!!!

There's not a bugd between the 2 now and if both clubs use their heads and recruit half decent and retain the right youngsters from their respective crops we'll be having a lot more arguments over tight games in the next few years!!!!!!!!

I suspect we may even be on the right end of the results a few more times as well!!!!!!

Sorry, I meant that I agreed with you on the Saints fans defence. It's as dodgy as you lot defending Tomkins

I look forward to the RFL's new rules for 2010.

"Defenders may only tackle an opposition player round the legs from the front or rear, and only when in motion. Defenders may not tackle from the side, and certainly not below the waist, and certainly not when the attacker is stationary and prone. If the attacking player has been held for a moment and the referee has yet to call 'held', players must pre-empt the referee's call and refrain from tackling for fear of a warning letter. Nevertheless, should the attacker manage to offload or continue his run, play will be allowed to continue."

How the feck is Burrow supposed to tackle Big Eorl??

Pathetic. Whether it caused damage or not, it was a legal and legitimate hit. Fatty KFC and his wailing fan club need to get the feck over it and move on.

Summed up very nicely.

I've never seen such a none issue blown up out of all proportion quite like this before.

If Cunningham hadn't spat the dummy out nothing would have been said or done by the RFL and i think we all know that.

FFS get real, it's rugby, he was perfectly legally tackled, it's not tick n pass, move on. Just cos everyone else tackles around the torso / head, it's noticeable when an effective low tackle is made. It's certainly how I was taught to tackle by a former Wigan 1st team coach.

The argument is not "look what someone else did". The argument is what a joke you lot are for criticising a Wigan player for a 50-50 tackle when a week earlier you were all defending a 95% certain punch in in the face by a Saints player.

Denying that such double-standards are embarrassing is also the attitude of a child.

And what you personally feel about the Cunningham punch is neither here nor there, as a lot of your folk reckoned it was nowt and you apparently defend their right to say that.

A 12 page thread on the Saints forum and a 6 page thread on the Wire forum.

Obsessed.
