Has Wello ever thrown a punch in public before? I don't remember ever seeing him do so. I was well proud of him! McGoldrick shouldn't have had a conversation with his forehead. That'll teach him.

I know I think he surprised himself!

In the rulebook under section 3.5 rule 18a, it is legal for any player to strike Ryan McGoldrick as he is a massive whopper.

I was wondering that myself, I've never known it happen before. Actually in recent years he has developed a Stuart Broad temper out of nowhere, having once been mr cool and quiet, I agree with the post above, he does appeal every try. Got me wondering what other players you never see fighting. I don't think I've seen Gardner, Gidley or Roby fight before.

At first I thought this was going to be a thread asking why, when ever anyone scores against Saints, does Wellens wave his arms around in front of the ref

Captains can do that, though, can't they and he's our captain when the King isn't on the pitch. I like his waving thing. It's very theatrical. And with those big, puppy dog eyes I can't see how anyone can take offence at it.

mcgoldrick was out of order leading with his/elbow and then carrying it on. he got what he deserved from wello a collectors item indeed!

Re: Wellens : Mon Sep 06, 2010 7:10 am  

To be fair, there was at least a question mark over that one try of McGoldrick's int hte first half.

Re: Wellens : Mon Sep 06, 2010 8:38 am  

But still, it was disgusting that he put 2 forearms into the face of McGold(p)rick. Shouldn't be happening. Will we see him banned for striking?

C'mon, its not wendy ball we're watching. It was six of one and half a dozen of the other, and wouldn't (shouldn't) be classed as anything other than handbags. Penalty and a talking to at the most.

You cant do that though. Luckily nothing serious flared up and no injury was caused. Agreed it was hardly a mass brawl, but still an illegal play - if it was anyone else's player you'd want them hung from the posts. You saw Radford sent off for punching Bailey (i know which way you lot will look at it) and IMO there wasn't much difference in the 2 incidents. I think it should be brought up by the MRP and he will be seen at Red Hall on Tues along with Mr Radford.

What? McGold(p)rick instigated a reaction from Wellens. Bailey instigated a reaction from Radford. Simples.
