Who threw the first punch?

Yeah, really failed, didn't he?

So the initial contact is onto the chest and then raises up into his face which is going to save him, how do you prove intent?

he knew exactly he was doing, go troll somewhere else pleb

Whatever happens to the wigan players wont help us out in any case. Something more should have been done on the day by ganson. The red card came too late all players were given little protection and have we given up on forward passes in rugby league now or what?!

Good god. That was AFTER Yeaman had punched Tomkins in the face 3 times.

Your comprehension skills need some work. The initial incident had Yeaman pushing Joel several times then, failing to get a reaction (and with the linesman running in to award the penalty), Yeaman started throwing punches.

If Ganson had binned both players at that point all this wouldn't have happened. That said, if Ganson had any control over the game no play from either side would have been charged. As it was they decided to take the law into their own hands - and there's no way Ganson will be punished for his ineptitude.

Sam tomkins goes in with his studs a lot! Dont know how he gets away with it!He,s a good player but a very arrogant nasty player and if someones getting the better of him he spits his dummy out and starts flapping his arms around for a penalty and the annoying thing is he gets em too!

How is that trolling you doylem, I said how can you prove intent?.

I think he deserves a 5 match ban minimum but with initial contact on the chest I think that will save him because he plays for the reigning champions

You tell me. Sat at the far end it's difficult enough to see. Who couldn't take it and had to go back with a raised elbow and forearm, if we're asking pedantic questions?

And Joel's temperament does too. A bit of biff and he has to do that

Your reluctance to talk about the incident in question proves beyond doubt that you know it merits a 4 match ban. Keep trying to blanket it in ifs and buts if you want but 4 games would cover it.

Im pretty sure FCTV will pick up the fighting in the match highlights, might just answer some questions. As stated, Yeaman is not into throwing punches, but will if provoked - Joel Tomkins is a dirty player so I dont even need to see the incident to predict who started it

It's extremely unlikely to be a 4 match ban.

It's beenr eviewed, cited and classed as a Grade B charge, therefore he's likely to get the 'normal suspension range' of 1-2 games.

...which translates to 'Joel is the victim in all of this and wasn't properly protected Ganson'.
