Total over-reaction. What did Chase get for his cowardly attack to the jaw?

Re: Potential Bans? : Mon May 28, 2012 10:16 am  

As a neutral, i think they should all get SOS. A regular weekly round and not the RFL's showcase event and i think we could have been looking at 3 yellows rather than reds.

As it is and trying to somehow guess what the RFL will do:
Hock - 2 games
Tusson - 1 game
M'ginnis - 1 game - May go to 2 as he was just been a dick
Mossop - 1 game - For throwing one (a good one at that!) and backing up as quickly as poss

Having said that, based on the Chase decision, they could all be knighted for services to RL!

Hock and LMS was a bit of handbags, nothing to serious IMO.

Mossop/Tuson could get 1/2 each.
Magennis should get 4/5.

Re: Potential Bans? : Mon May 28, 2012 11:12 am  

Hock C-D (2-3 matches)
Tuson A-D (0-5 matches)
Magennis E-F (4-8+)
mossop C-D (2-5)

my opinion by the way.

Strikes – punching A-B Reaction to opponent – lashing out
A-B Punching – self defence
A-B Punching – one on one – minor
C-D Punching – sustained, repeated or violent
E Punching – sustained, repeated, violent &
aggressive
C-D Running in & punching
E-F Running in & punching – opponent off guard
Other Striking offences A-F

Reading the above doesnt Mossop fall into the same bracket as McGennis then?

Magennis dropping like a sack of spuds after 1 clack removes the 'repeated' aspect of that one!

Re: Potential Bans? : Mon May 28, 2012 1:10 pm  

Magennis can't really be considered to be 'off guard' when Mossop hit him. He was swinging punches at anyone around him and was hit from the front. I'd consider that a situation where you'd be expecting a punch.

Re: Potential Bans? : Mon May 28, 2012 1:10 pm  

Seriously, are we watching a rugby league game or a game of football. Not one player should've seen red yesterday. They are playing rugby for gods sake - a contact sport that sometimes results in a bit of a scrap! Hock and LMS should've seen yellow and gone to cool off for 10 mins, as should Tuson and McGiness.

There is no way that Hock, LMS or Tuson should receive bans.... how many times have you seen fighting in a rugby game - they get 10 mins and nobody mentions it again.

McGunnes should get 1 game as he started the fight with Tuson by coming on the blind side, as should Mossop for throwing one VERY GOOD punch! Mossop should've stayed out of it (although i did love the punch!).

They are rugby players not fairies that play footy! Let's not let our sport go the same way as that by banning for a bit of handbags!

Agreed.

It should have been yellow cards for 4 players and that should have been it - with only MGennis and Mossop worthy of a closer look by the RFL.

Of the two although Mossop shoudn't have done it - it did seem the only way to stop Mgennis as he was throwing haymakers at anyone in reach - not sure the rflwill see that as an act of peace though!.

If every front rower was banned for a few punches at a scrum (of which none of Hocks seem to make any contact) there would hardly be any on the field.
