To be fair, he went for a scan on the Saturday and was given the all clear, nothing wrong with him, which was only released by the Wakefield site after the verdict on Cunningham had been given, which could have been construed as deliberately misleading the disciplinary. After a word in the ear, Wakey said that Stosic did actually have a 'slight' fracture. Read into that what you may.

As for the slam, I thought the incident was definately worthy of a penalty during the match, but I would have to watch it again to decide on whether a ban is warranted. Certainly looked quite a nasty tackle/ technique, not malicious however, just wrong technique.

it was literally slap bang in front of me.

One of those things that was more "reckless" than intentional. Looking to put the player down hard, but had his grip in the wrong place and essentially dropped Arnold while having him in a sleeper hold.

Should be nothing more than a telling off and warning regarding future conduct.

Well, if it was reckless rather than intentional....it should receive the same sanction as Kieron Cunningham fracturing a players cheek bone with "an accidental push".....therefore Clubb should get a warning letter.

Won't happen though!!!

Realised that a bit later - don't hold your breath for good news from Red Hall this evening.

I noticed Cunningham wasn't put up for his 'lazy arm' tackle in the first half.
Anyone else remember what i'm talking about?
Where he seems to run in, swings the arm to tackle the man, if that wasn't intent I don't know what is.

Those type of tackles happen week in week out, in both the amateur leagues and pro rugby. First contact is with ball, and the force of contact promotes the arm up into the face of the opposition player. Penalty sufficient, it's not intentional, it's the laws of physics and force, if you'd ever played the sport you'd know that they happen. Certainly worthy of a penalty but nothing more.

No.
Not that incident.
Seeing how it wasn't even picked up by the officals(surprise, surprise), it couldn't of been this incident.

2 game ban for Clubb.
