I don't think it was deliberate but to suggest something in the eye doesn't hurt is silly - I take it you have never played the game - not your fault but next time you're at BV give us a shout and I'll give you a poke in the eye and see how you do

Fair hit for mine
I agree with the sloppy technique of Wellens

I think we(Saints fans) wanted to see more but ultimately i couldnt find a reason why it was so bad/illegal

maybe he had a ring on , something hurt him

let me poke you in the eye and see if hurts,

jd shouldnt be banned and dont think he will there was nothing wrong with it,cunningham should get banned but he wont because of who he is

no he shouldn't. penalty yes but ban for god sake get a grip he barely pulled his hand back]

Yeah because Stosic wants leave his team a man short reslulting in a try and subsequently leave the field, only a few minutes after coming on when he isn't really hurt. Like someone else said you either you have never played the game before or your simply sore about the mighty Saints losing tonight!
Not worthy of a ban put Stosic was genuinly hurt

yes he should it was a cheap shot the only intention cunningham had was to punch stosic the strength of the punch doesnt matter

Yes mate thats the one, Hock on Pitts.

Back to the Thread


JD WAS QUALITY LAST NIGHT. Lead from the front all night.

Great team effort

Exactly. Throwing a punch at an opposition player is an immediate red card offence! He should get a 1 match ban, but he won't because Saints have got some players out injured!

outstanding effort! Passion, aggression, effort. Lead the troops from the front, and they followed.
JD plays like this for rest of season and we'll win more than we loose!!!
Vive la playoffs!!!!

If JD gets banned for only copying what Gareth Hock did in the Challenge Cup, then the egos at the RFL are missing a lot more braincells than I thought, as for Wellens, its not JD's fault that you forgot your kicking boots last night.

No mate - i agree with snatch hunter - to say that Cunningham threw a punch is a little strong in my opinion - the amount of distance it traveled with a rugby ball in his hand rather than a clenched fist - come on for gods sake do you want to turn the game into ping pong! - I very much hope that Stosic was caught in the eye ball because if he wasnt then he behaved like a footballing pansy - lets keep the game a mans game - bit of edge is part of it.

Regarding JD - plenty of idiots were slagging him off when he was playing with an injury - JD is a pro's pro - first name on the team sheet every week - and all those who keep banging on about how old he is and how he will deteriorate - load of old cack - played the full 80 and was the most passionate and aggressive player on the field - nobody wanted it more than JD last night.
