So, he pokes the end of the ball in an opponents face and just "accidentally" hits him in the eye.

So, if I drive my car along the pavement and "accidentally" hit a pedestrian, I'll just get a warning. Very reassuring. I'll try it tomorrow.

What was he hitting out at given he was below the tackler and had limited movement and targets to hit.

He has a clean record due to the RFL behaving like this again

oh good god look at it
his arm was on the floor it moved 3 or 4 inches no punch like that can do any damage! a punch is a punch but
did it deserve anything nope!!
lets not clutch at staws!
D Howell got awy with 3 game for an elbow

Cunningham has a clean record because the RFL choose to ignore anything that he does wrong. A punch is a punch in my opion and should be dealt with properly not just covered up as an accident or it will end up with other teams and players thinking they can punch when on the floor and say it was an accident as they were trying to get up.

Do you really believe that the point of the ball being pushed into someone's eye can't do any damage? That's not where it went in this case but it was very close.

Cunningham does that sort of stuff frequently when he's trying to get a quick PTB, particularly when near the opponents line. He's an aggressive player, not a dirty one, but every time he does that he's running the risk of injuring an opponent. On this occasion he did and ought to be punished. What's the point of a warning to someone who's been playing the same way for years?

Howell was punished because the video review panel decided to forward the case to the disciplinary committee. They should have done the same with Cunningham.

Yeah, he's only got 9 tries in 9 games against Quins

What about Howell and Hecklenberg? I know Howell is banned so when does it run till?
