Why wouldn't I tell him? I've been in rucks with harder blokes than clint newton. People have this opinion that rugby players are some kind of hard cases, which some are, but I know dozens of blokes who could knock 10 bells out of the likes of newton.

Anyway, I'd just let him smack me and see him in court

Getting desperate if you need to play mind games with salford

Not quite as desparate as having to include pre-season friendlies in your Wins column to convince yourself that the corner has been turned.

What did you do, hit 'em with your keyboard?

Nice sidestep Mrs B.

Surprised you didn't feel the need to comment about the thread on your own forum where "fans" comment on which opposition player they would like the so called tongan mafia to injure.

Will it be a weekly competetion with prizes ?

People wishing injuries on players are stupid. End of story.

I do like to see a bit of biff, however. As mentioned in the other thread, if the video of the testimonial shows that Newton's shot on Long was late and high, I'd hope there'd be an FC welcoming committee for him in the next derby.

Trying to take some sort of violent conduct moral highground against FC fans as a collective, when your own choose to continue direct sponsorship of Ben Cockayne, is frankly laughable.

Ben Cockayne is sponsored as a Hull Kingston Rovers Rugby League player.

If you asked me if I would put Cockayne in the top five players I disliked the most,I would reply yes.
If you asked me if I would like to see said player injured,I would reply no. I don`t like to see any player injured,amongst I would think most R.L. fans.

Just out of interest who sponsors Manu ?

Do you think it will worry him

its a contact sport and these things happen, he has been on the receiving end quite a few times and it doesn't bother him, he just gets on with it.

Lets see how you feel when the inevitable late, high shot from an FC player is dished out.

Long is also, no angel.

Conceptus.

I think you are missing the point. You were attempting to bait me with the fact that a few half wits (that's being kind) were making stupid comments about the Tongan Mafia. I condemned those comments. Yet it's clear that a rather large group of Rovers fans chose to sponsor a player convicted in the last year of kicking someone on the floor 20 odd times, when there were other young squad members without sponsorship to choose from at the time. I think you'd be hard-pressed to claim any sort of moral high ground about Rovers fans collectively condemning violent behaviour. Both sets of supporters have a minority of idiots. Deal with it.
