Luaki should have been binned for throwing at least 3 punches on separate occasions! Very lucky to have stayed on the pitch, or is throwing punches acceptable now?

O'Meley has been a cheap shot merchant for a long time.

Teams have using the same tactics for a long time, getting the head in close to an opponent when wrestling on the floor, its nothing new. Leeds have been frighteningly good at it for a long time.
Nothing in the Cockayne challenge, he was trying to get to his feet, he had a player underneath him and a player on top interfering.

where have i said throwing punches is acceptable?

i find it funny your saying the grapple tackles ok because its been around for a long time but o'meleys wrong for been a cheap shot merchant for a long time.

nothing cockaynes elbow? balls.

Those in glasshouses eh?.... Hull FC the fairplay team of the month

You wanted me to talk about Luaki and not O'Meley, so please tell us, should he have been sin binned or not?

Never said a grapple tackle was ok at all, I said teams have been using the tactic of getting a defenders head in close to an opponents head on the floor in a tackle has been used for a long time. Or is this the first time you have seen such technique?

O'Meley is a cheap shot merchant!

No question about it, he did catch Luaki with his elbow, you wont get an argument off me for that but intentional, you never now, the ref never thought it was anything more and I think he was right on top of the situation.

your still trying to say newtons tackle was ok? that short of tackle is not ok.

Lauaki should have been binned yes.

cockayne should have seen red and newton binned, if the ref had have made the call would lauaki reacted this way?

lets face it the ref was close to alot like hornes ball steal and knock on, murrells knock on, newtons head rub, and numerous over things he missed.

Look back on my previous posts regarding Newtons challenge.

Thank you.

Cockayne see red, no chance and Newton in the bin for a push in the back, no chance. Luaki shouldn't have retaliated, simple as but lucky for him, he was never penalised properly for throwing punches.

I agreed with Paul M's post yesterday

And Luaki's reactions as you have already said deserved a sin binning.

You see these things every week in every single match but its being highlighted due to the nature of the game.

The Law says you have the right to defend yourself end of.
Oh and it over rules the RL rules at all times.

I don't think he saw it. His words were 'if there's any contact with the head, it's accidental'. To me, that dismissive attitude isn't right. It was bordering on, 'you're a big lad so just deal with whatever treatment you get, regardless of the legality'.

well if you see them every week that's fine. Theres murders and rapes every week should we accept them?

In fact don't answer that my opinion of you is low as it is.

Double standards here methinks. Plenty of people would have been applauding lauaki if he'd stuck one on newton or cockayne

Of course not, you daft f[sizeu[/sizeck. He should've been given three penalties, but Silverwood was too busy practising the more difficult of his nal of signals in case he needed to spring them out unnecessarily later on to notice the elbows, head-butts and constant attacks to the head of Lauaki.



He was probably scared to give the penalty in case Cockayne decided to push him to the ground and kick him in the head until it was purely a matter of luck whether or not he survived. You can be pretty certain that everything even bordering on illegal that Cockayne does is deliberate. More than that, he intended to do more damage, but he's too stupid to know how.
