Do you remember the vitriol and uproar : Sun Jul 19, 2009 8:44 am  

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.

What was your reaction.

Is there anything official confirming this as some Wakey fans have said this is the case, I have read another saying he has a broken jaw and another saying he could be fit for next week so I think I will wait for anything official to comment on the injury not just word of mouth on a message board.

As for the incident, he was out of order but reading some posts I think it has been blown out of proportion and would imagine he will face a 1 or 2 match ban for it.

Should be 5 games.

It was ridiculous and as said, we'd be calling for a lifetime ban.

Newton got what he deserved. I never saw the Costin incident.

What's yours on the Cunningham one?

You bored Bri?

Haven't seen it yet, however if its as bad as is being made out then he deserves to be punished accordingly. (is that the right answer?)

Waiting for her who must be obeyed to go and pick her car up.
Then off to Bradford.

I just hope the weather improves or we could suffer a fare similar to yours on Friday.

I've always been against players getting banned for how long the other players injured for.

In that case what happens if a player does a very bad high shot but the player gets up and plays on?

Does he get no ban?

How bad the injury should have nothing to do with length of ban.

I'd say for punching which happens every week, between 1 and 3 games or even just a telling off.

Looking at the guidelines on sentencing, for me it'll either be Striking - Reaction to opponent - lashing out which is either an A or a B offence, Strikes with hand, arm or shoulder – reckless (which is B or C) or Strikes with hand, arm or shoulder - intentional (which is C or D).

A is a telling off
B is a telling off to 2 matches
C is 1-4 matches
D is 3-5 matches

With his previous good behaviour I think he'll get the lower end of whatever category he's put in.

Cunningham was daft and I would expect him to be in front of the RFL after it being caught so clearly on the footage. I am amazed however that he has managed to fracture someones eye socket and cheekbone with a short jab whilst on his back

Newton as you say fully got what he deserved, but I myself never understood why there was so much against Costin as I didn't think he even deserved a ban at all as it was only what we used to love Hooper for and Long came off badly due to landing awkwardly.
