Stick to gambling tips, you appear out of your comfort zone on other subjects.

Opinions are like ar se holes mate. We all have them but they're all different. burns deliberately took out crooks. He knew what he was doing. meli is too dumb to do it

you keep believing that jake

At the game I thought it was just clumsy. Now I've seen replays (especially from behind) I'm not so convinced. Meli doesn't just hang his arm out, he's almost square on to Hall & launches into the tackle. Hall doesn't duck or step either. That's not a wrong-footed player.

And this weeks winner for the most sour grapes in 1 post goes to Jimmy Carr.

The more I see it, the less accidenatal it looks. Wouldn't wish injury on any player, but you can't help think that karma can be a real biatch at times!

Some Saints fans been tweeting Craig some lovely messages.

I don't understand why people say it was.

He swung a stiff arm in his face.

Just watched again. Gets worse each time. Should be a long ban, even thought the injury will keep Smeli out for a while longer.

Yep when the term 'Banjoed' is used that is the type of shot it means.
Horrible every time you see it andI do wonder if that is what the little inserts on the shirts are to protect against.

I don't see how anyone can think it was accidental as Craig neither changed direction or speed just before Meli banjoed him which is why head highs are normally committed. Instead he just lined him up and hit him that hard that he dislocated his own elbow on Craig's head.

Not sure if was malicious or just stupid, the manner of this looked bad but I thought the Gardner one on Welham and the Wilkin one on Dobbo were more cynical. Davies trying to justify it on the beeb was laughable, the 'winger has to stop the centre' and 'Gardner's not like that' are hardly reasons to say a shoulder into the head is legitimate.
