watch the replay closley and you will clearly see that cunningham the thug has the ball between his forearm and bicep, therefore the fist is clearly clenched and thats what strikes Stosic.

It maybe rugby and all you tuffies may think its ok, but I am sure you would think otherwise if it happened to a child of yours playing for a local rugby club. Some of you should think seriously before posting your pathetic coments on here.

Utter rubbish.

We need Saints to be at their best for the remaining games against our playoff rivals. Would also hate them to lose the cup semi.

one is Keiron Cunningham and the other is Ben Cockayne - simples

fwiw i don't think the incident itself warranted a long ban or anything and certainly it shouldn't have anything to do with whether he injured Stosic, but i think a 1 match ban would have been fair.

the reasoning RFL gave out was just utter cobblers

Comparing those two shows how simple you are. Kieron is a family man and he hasn't ever beaten anyone up.

and your point is???

i was going on disciplinary records. Which sort of backs up why one was treated harsher than than the other.

being a family man really shouldn't impact on displine for on-field matters though should it.

wind your neck in before you start calling people simple.

And that's relevant to RFL disciplinary... how, exactly? "Oh, Kieron's a nice guy, despite punching somebody in the eye (accidently), so we should be lenient"?

My point was how inconsistent the disciplinary actions are. There must be a defining factor and maybe player status is it.

did they take over from you lot then???

I agree up to a point BUT how many thousands of KIDS watched that game and now feel its ok to do punch on the field, after all it seems its ok with the RFL and no doubt if they do it the refs won't mind.

Catch 22 for me.
