D Howell got awy with 3 game for an elbow
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.
