Was on the far side from us, but I'd have been surprised if he hadn't thrown at least one

Having seen the highlights last night he clearly throws at least 1 punch.

As i said on another thread only Crookes will know how much he meant to kick out at Riley.

But i will defy anyone when in that position and trying to get up and play the ball NOT to have to use their legs for leverage.

It was the scuffle before that started it all off. That and Talanoa's two errors cost us.

I was refering to just that incident alone tbh. You're right about Talanoa, his superb break ended with a complete brain fart, turning posession over and them scoring from it.

Bit unclear to me from the highlights I just watched but did his punch(es) connect? Maybe that's why he wasn't picked up by the disciplinary.

Then again I wouldn't be surprised if they simply missed it as you say

Jason Crookes' early guilty plea has been accepted by the RFL and the Hull FC winger will not be suspended for Friday's game against Wigan.

Everyone piles in which makes it difficult to connect but it must have been close. Always makes me laugh when players get away with it for being rubbish at throwing punches and missing.

Riley held his legs up in the air, wouldn't let go, and like a player should, he tried to get a quick play of the ball.

True, but Crookes was a fool to kick out.

So are you saying he was justified in kicking out then?

The little thug kicked out and deserves what he get's.

We should have got shot of him after last years incident.
