Not from the club as it takes them weeks to get anything on website, but a few people from our forum are related to our players and they have come out with this news, so id take it as certain.

NOT GUILTY

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

In other words, he accidentally threw a punch on purpose.

Simples!

How does an intentional jab result in accidental contact.



Abit of a contradiction, dont we think ?

He meant to hit out, he didn't mean to hit his eye.

I don't see any contradiction there at all.

So which part of Stosic’s face did he mean to hit?

Everything except his eye

There is a lesson to be learnt here........you don't mess with the King.

As it happens, Trinity have Newton in their ranks for next season so I expect to see the same condescending remarks when he takes out one of the Saints players.

I find it strange that everyone involved in RL is so proud that players don't give the ref cheek, when an intentional assault on an unexpectant opponent gets a warning.

Family sport my ; what a message to kids that is: don't give me any lip, but feel free to punch your mates in the face for no reason.

People slag off footballers, but such a cowardly assault would at least be dealth with by the football authorities.

King my , cheap shot merchant.

James will deal with it face to face next season, he's not a coward.

1 rule for saints 1 rule for everyone else.

As in life, it depends on who you are with regards to punishments. Alan Shearer could pretty much do what ever the hell he liked and not receive any sort of suspension. Neil Lennon could testify to that.

BTW Stosic is clear to play this Sunday thankfully, he has not broken his eye socket.

Not suggesting he is (and I would hope the Stosic would rise above thoughts of revenge), I was merely commenting on the likelihood of Newton doing some damage next season given his penchant for injuring St Helens players.

Me too

just saying if it accidentally happened on purpose

No it happened on purpose by accident

Nowt up with the soft 5hite after all www.wakefieldwildcats.co.uk/inju ... 05926.html

Sorry i got confused.

Perhaps everyone can calm down now.

methinks someone was telling you porky pies broken eye socket my . there's nowt up with him now go back and have words with those people in the know.

Check the BBC website.
What is annoying is that it is a totally unnecessary action that resulted in injury, there was no need for him to do that, it wasn't accidental, it was an intentional retaliation by the player with serious consequences.
BOOOOOOO!

Disgusting judgement.

Thank the lord that's sorted, glad for both players.

The only person to come out of this with no credit is arch idiot saddened and his pitiful defence of Cunningham and spineless personal attack on Stosic who was the victim. What a tool.
