I've not seen the incident since being in the ground on Sunday, but wouldn't the black eye and stitches be as a result of the accidental head/face collision between Nero and Clinton (as mentioned by starbug earlier in this thread) that led to Clinton's initial running after Nero?

Re: Godwin : Tue Feb 15, 2011 8:36 pm  

Have a look at the SLTV link Nero makes contact with Clintons chest not his face.

Yeah think that's fair enough, was a bit of a girly slap and amazed it resulted in stitches but can't argue with a 2 game ban. Whilst on the subject of cheap shot merchants I can't believe Keith Senior hasn't been mentioned. Biggest sh!thouse of them all . Seem to remember a particularly 'impressive' example of a rabbit punch in his Sheffield Eagles days in a televised cup match. Stood at the back of a big melee and launched a big right hand that didn't miss then ran away IIRC! Pretty sure he got away with it as well.

Remember the Keith Senior cheap shot very well...................the poor recipient was Barrie John Mather

I mentioned it so go on bore me with your definition!

Re: Godwin : Wed Feb 16, 2011 1:45 am  

Schifcofkse should have been penalised at least for running 10 yards to have a go at Nero, but that would not matter a jot one way or another because we all know that the mighty Crusaders can do no wrong when it comes to the RFL. Perhaps he was just a bit miffed that after showing off his incredible skills he forgot to look where he was going ala NERO was the proverble lamppost.

That video shows you the wrong angle. On the live sky feed there was an angle from half way near the dug outs looking towards the incident. It clearly shows clear air between Godwin's hand and schifcofske. The view on that camera angle you highlighted is deceiving. In the same way a forard pass can be from the wrong angle. Also if your saying it was Godwins contact doing that to his face. Godwin allegedly punches him from the right hand side and from the rear. Theres no way on god's earth that that same hand could curve all the way around his face to cause the cut you can clearly see pouring claret on his LEFT cheekbone. I'd say that it was more than likely done by Nero as Shifcofske ran towards him and he put his hands up to push him away. Has anyone got the game recorded still on sky + ? to back up the camera angle I'm going on about.

So why would Shifcofske run after someone for a little chest barge? it doesn't make sense? Perhaps they connected faces at that point and he felt like he had been punched hence the reaction?
