I recall sonny nickle doing a awful tackle on a Leeds player at Leeds, think his name was mears.

It's 1 of worst things I've seen on the rugby pithch. Leeds was in uproar and didn't stop in telling the press, tv or anyone who would listen that there man wouldn't again that year and had smashed up face.

That same smashed up player played 3 weeks later but sonny was giving 8 games iirc.

My point is, how can red hall ban a player on the time they expect him to be out?

Teams could try getting players banned for longer by making out it's worse than it is.

Unless red hall have medical evidence then how can they ban a player on that basis?

i

He clearly went into that challenge to do harm, but he didn't spend the game trying to mame someone, like Newton did.

The overreaction on this thread is unbelievable. "Defend the indefensible" indeed. What next? Cunningham is the devil?

This thread is hilarious. By reading all the saints haters posts you would think Cunningham did a cockayne on him, when in reality all he did was give him a "get off me" slap. Its not cunninghams fault Stosic has a face made of paper. Much worse happens every game

Aside from the pathetic nature of your post, try using that as a defence in law.

The fact that the thread has gone somewhat out of proportion is as much to do with the blinkered inflammatory rantings of your fellow Saints fans.

I think anyone who lashes out at the play the ball with their ball carrying arm should be banned for life and I hope Saints sack him.

I've never seen anyone lash out at the play the ball before and hope that Cunningham hasn't invented a new violent act in RL.

LOL at the stupid and blinkered Saints fans.

It's beyond funny now IMO!

Don't worry - it'll be attributed to Nathan Brown. It usually is. The Chicken wing, the Grapple Tackle, the Cunningham Jab - all Nathan Browns fault.

And the recession is his fault too.


And the weather.

And swine flu.

Damn you Brown.

Nathan Brown taught Paul Wellens to kick.

I'll go with this. Think it makes sense.

Interesting also though from the Saints fans moaning about JD on Wellens. Because Cunningham actually did the same thing in the play immediately following his incident with the punch. He too fended off with the forearm, to get an offload in, where they scored a try. not too many moans about that from Saints fans.

It must be very frustrating for him now that referees are allowing defenders enough time to clear the ruck. Having made a very successful career out of exploiting weak/unset defences to suddenly now have to use skill to break down defences must be hugely frustrating.

However that isn't Stosic's fault.

Is Stosic in ITU yet?

Cunningham hasn't played like that for years.

Had you said Roby . . . .

If I were a giants fan I'd want the "tub 'o lard" available for the semi

Here is my question.

You are stranded on a desert island with Keiron Cunningham.

How long is it before you start fearing for your life when his gigantic need to fill his morbidly obese stomach starts to rumble?

I think this is a man that would kill another man to eat him.


I'm just putting it out there man.

It was very disappointing to see a cheap shot from KC. I'll put it down as a moment of madness but fully expect him to get 2/3 matches, i'd prefer 2 obvilously with the semi, but he deserves his punishment whatever it might be

At first sight, If it was you then it would be a real contest. I've seen you blubbering around the pool table on Youtube. Keiron's stickier than a stick insect compared to you.

But you're right - if it's a question of survival, Keiron would win hands down. He'd slam dunk your sorry ass at the first hand off. I'm not sure he'd eat you though. He'd have to scoop out all the crap you spew out on here on a dailiy basis and eating your brain would be like eating a plate of haute cuisine - looks pretty but there aint much of it there.

Even the first assertion may be dubious, if the rest of your post is reliable.

No charge


Player intentionally has a jab at the Wakefield player and as such is guilty of misconduct; however the Panel are giving him the benefit of the doubt that contact with the eye is accidental and as such consider that it is appropriate to deal with this matter by way of a caution




I find our disciplinary system funny.

Is that actually the verdict?
Shocking if so..

Yes indeed. www.therfl.co.uk/about/disciplin ... hp?id=1238

Absolute cack !!!!!
If burger king had of accidently hit him and stosic subsequently got a black eye, no one would bat an eye lid



But this has resulted in our prop suffering a broken cheekbone fractured eye socket (iirc) so the force ommited from KC must have been alot and sufficent to cause such injuries. And therefore burger kings actions werent accidental.

What a load of bull, dosent bother wakefield as a team we dont play st's again anytime soon, and st's play some of our rivals for top6 and of course is now on hand to beat huddersfield.

But its the disciplinary procedure as a whole in the NRL KC would have never got away with this, and maybe small club syndrome coming out here but if tevita leo-latu had done it, im sure he wouldnt have got off with a caution.

Another decision the RFL got wrong.

There's going to be a lynching!
more seriously though, has t'other fella's injury been confirmed?
