That is why you see them more often. |

Possibly, or possibly just because players are getting with blue murder in the ruck area these days. It's a mess, look at the NRL, their's is brilliant at the minute, probably down to the two refs idea.
If the RFL wanted to cut out this type of thing, then they should have clamped down on it earlier in the season when it was happening. Now they have to be consistent in all incidents now and afterwards, otherwise the defence of Cunningham if he was charged would be to take tapes of these incidents and the disciplinary reports and ask what the difference is. |

Other than revenge what would a ban do to help Wakey. Now he has been cleared he will play against Quins next week and Wigan the week after.
I realise this could be strange logic but at the end of the day not getting a ban could do Wakey the biggest favour.

I think we have to look at the bigger picture and what is good for the game as a whole.
If there is going to be no sanctions on taking a cheap shot at an opponent, other than a caution, what sort of message does that send out about discouraging foul play in our the game?
Worse still it could encourage further unsavoury incidents. |

Amusing thread.
As a Wigan fan I find it hilarious that fans of other clubs are surprised to learn that Saints have the RFL in their pocket. Its been like this for years.

Thats a bit strong from you lot me thinks. 
But to be honest will it take someone to get seriously injured from this type of punch for the rfl to learn, if it had been further round on the temple it could have caused a very big injury |

Saints next 2 matches are Harlequins and Wigan. I for one would rather Cunningham was playing. Move on. |

| Quote: Legless "How many players have thrown punches this season?
How many have been banned?
It's Rugby, an aggressive game by it's very nature. Punches WILL be thrown and tempers WILL flare. It was wrong of Keiron to react, but it will happen. Glad Stosic is OK.'"
Still no excuse. Cunningham's a dirty player and always has been. Why he's been allowed to get away with it for so long is a mystery.

Ah, mystery solved.
Should have looked at the salary cap breaches to realise that. Is it 6 or 7 Saints managed? Only one points deduction, though. I know it was at least 2 more breaches than Bradford and Wigan. |

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.

An why is everyone calling it a punch - the bloke had a rugby ball in his hand for gods sake - it wasnt a clenched fist.'"
Exactly, a definition of a punch is hitting someone with a clenched fist. How did Cunningham managed to punch with a rugby ball in the palm of his hand......truly remarkable. |
