He should get a ban for it.

Very dissapointing from KC.

He'll get 2, but I'm told it should be 3.

I don't think many reasonable fans made much of the Bradon Costin incedent, tbh.

As you say, you can't really compared last friday's incedent with the now infamous Newton one. Its really quite unfair (as well you know) to apply the tinted, knee jerk reaction of the masses to a group containing at least some sensible posters.

I will say that if KC's managed to break a guy's cheek with that one inch punch from his ball carrying arm, he's even tougher than I gave him credit for.

I expect them to throw the book at him for this inexcusable assault. After all, he's a proven thug - in 2004 he punched nat wood and in 1996 he shoved Lee Penny. Mind you, we all know how soft the discipliary panel are on saints after they failed to hand leon pryce a ban for when he held back brian carney during the wire game last week.

T'was a bit naughty, mind.

Cunningham and Newton's incidents, are not the slightest bit comparable.

No Charge

Player intentionally has a jab at the Wakefield player and as such is guilty of misconduct; however the Panel are giving him the benefit of the doubt that contact with the eye is accidental and as such consider that it is appropriate to deal with this matter by way of a caution

It is embarassing.
So you can lash out but not intend to hit their eye and get away with it? im not having that.
I usually stick up for the disciplinary, I think they take a lot of unfair stick but in this case, they have no defence..poor verdict, should have been 2/3 games.

On here over the Terry Newton incident and the one by the Huddersfield player Brandon Costin.

They should be banned for as long as the player they attacked is injured was the cry.

Will you then be asking for the same for Cunningham?

It appears that Stosic has fractured his eye socket and cheekbone and could be out for 2 months.

Drama queen or what

Its not embarrasing.

Taking the "alledged" injuries aside, there was nothing in that at all.

You have got away with far worse incidents than that before. I bet Pryce gets away with 3 or 4 a season worse than that. That should be more embarassing.
