We have biff in our game. Most people love watching it. Most times, players don't get injured but sometimes they do. Generally, the yellow card is used or nothing at all. Was Stosic winding Cunningham up in the tackle? I don't know; I didn't see the incident as I watched the match live, not on TV, and only saw the ball come out of the tackle and Stosic not getting up so quickly. I haven't watched the game back yet.

Cunningham didn't perform an illegal tackle. He did what lots of rugby league players do during matches. Whether this is considered in the same light by the RFL will remain to be seen.

Biased twaddle

Nah. I'm all for giving Cunningham what he deserves if he's broken the rules. I just didn't see it so I don't know whether he has.

He has and should recieve a ban. I was impressed that so few of our supporters attempted to defend Howell's disgusting challenge up Tomkins - there were still a few dillusionals though.

Some people think that; others don't. I prefer to wait for the RFL to decide. I'll support whatever they decide.

I'd like to think I was brave enough to give Cunningham a piece of my mind if he does get a ban because we are so short of staff thanks to injuries, the last thing we need is a ban because he couldn't keep control. However, I'm no way brave enough to do that!

However, if he does get a ban then you should tonk us this weekend as we have just added Roby (four weeks) and Lomax (possibly four to five weeks) and possibly Meli (hamstring) to our already impressive injury list (Long, Wheeler, Frodsham, Maurie) with the possibility that Flannery and Eastmond will still be out with the mumps. So you should be able to help secure your place in the play offs!

Unless our major injury problems magically cure then this is unlikely.

You'd win. I'm a girl and I'm small. I do kick boxing though. Does that help me do you think?

Including our young guys (who are our squad and who both play and back up when we have injuries) and assuming Kieron gets a ban, if no-one returns from injury by the weekend, we will have 11 players out. We will be struggling to put together a fit 17 (and I use the word 'fit' loosely as Graham is already playing with torn wrist ligaments, Wellens with a torn lip and Gidley with a heavily strapped thigh having probably returned from injury too soon).

Is our injury list better than yours, then?

I'd probably prefer yours tbh.
Your 'amazing' youngsters coming through will do an adequate job,
We're missing our first choice, 6,7,9,13, and others.

Either way, and I know Quins have been hit hard this season, I hope you win in the south of France.
