Nothing wrong with a bit of a fight. The only player(s) really who should get a ban is the ones who headbutt. No doubt the RFL will make a mess of it and ban a few players. Had this happened in SL nothing would have been said

Having watched the video if Stuart Dickens doesn't get maximum penalty we might as well scrap the system

I bet I've watched the incident a dozen times, and I still can't see what all the fuss is about.
If Stu has butted someone, I'd expect him to get banned - regardless of any perceived SL bias the disciplinary process is alleged to have.
But seeing the incident over and over, it's nowt. Really, just nowt! Like Karl Harrison says, "it's not tiddley winks"!

Tell that to the player with a broken nose. Dear god....

Over the 25 years I played rugby I broke mine 5 times. It happens! Even your clubs own coach said it was nowt!! The players of both clubs said afterwards it was nowt, and most fans I've spoken to said it was nowt!!!
But Urbancarrott says "dear god" so it must be devastating!!

Stu will get banned for chuckin his head about. That's about it. Like I said on another thread, been worse in a bloody convent!

Did he 'head butt' or did he lead with his forehead i.e just stick his head out? Either way if he broke a nose by 'using' his head then he should get at least a 3 game ban!
Thats the trouble with RL, yer its a tough game but to have your nose broken by a guy head butting or sticking hos head in your face you aint on. If I did that in town tonight i would be up for GBH.

aye I know and I'm expecting stu to get banned tho his previous good record in the game may mitigate down in his fav to 3 games perhaps! But 5 players up for that????? They didn't arrest that many in the toxteth riots!!!

Re: Five up before RFL : Sat Mar 03, 2012 7:48 pm  

To be honest I can see both sides. Yes it's wrong to head but someone, yes it's wrong for one player to thump another on the ground. Yes if it happened on the street the wrong doers would be arrested. But it wasn't on the street, it was on the pitch in the heat of the moment and I guarantee anyone, those "aggressors" will have shaken hands in the bar.
We are only 3 games into the season, warn all 5 that next time? but now, come on a warning is enough.,
Let's move on.
