As a Hudds fan I would say it was fair enough from King.

DG knocked him over and he got up and gave him a slap back.

No hard feelings.

Not really comparable to either the Tomkins or Macguire incidents (or Mason's on Fielden for that matter).

King given caution for punching and will stay on his record for future incidents, Nothing said about the player who took him out off the ball and from behind, no justice

Quote ="Rugby"As you will see from this, King was taken out off the ball by Griffin - so it was certainly not an unprovoked confrontation... www.therfl.co.uk/about/disciplin ... hp?id=2248'" And although it wouldn't have made much difference in the end, the quote in the hearing was 'worthy of a penalty'. Now, for an 8 point try does the try scorer have to be penalised in the act of scoring or can it include an infringement on any other player?

100% agreed!

Another act of thuggery on the field of play.

Whilst I started this thread can I balance it a bit by saying. When Cudjoe ran full length for that last try,how nice it was to see Atkins give him an acknowledging pat on the back in the in goal area. After trying to catch him for 80 meters Id have been knackered and brassed off but Atkins was straight in with the well done pat.

Sorry I posted my previous before I saw yours. Only spotted the Atkins bit on boots n all 2 night. Never seen any other player doing that,bit of class Atkins.

boring wigan poster in wire scum then backtracking scandal, yet again!
you slag King for retaliation, then blow smoke up Atkins arris, you truly mistify me!
king retaliated like for like, as pointed out stats never lie, on the pitch wire blow the pies away when it comes to discipline and fouls. at least come on here and be constructive!

balanced response my poop shoot!

Learn to understand fool,there is no backtracking whatsoever ? Kings still a coward and Atkins is a good guy. Why you mystified ? No backtrack just the facts.

king is a coward, no you are a coward! and an idiot, it really offends me that this thread has not been taken of this site, you obviously did not pay much atention during the match, king was atacked from behind then turned to retaliate just as the player turned away, he did not punch him he pushed the back of the head! many pie poop houses make a ritual of ruffling players hair or patting them on the back when they make mistakes in a form of sledging i view it as no different as that, your the pink frilly blouse who throws words like coward arround like confetti when you've probably never faced any form of danger or had your courage placed under scrutiny at any time of your life, your the wimp and coward in my opinion hiding behind your keyboard! now will some one please ban this moron?

Aww bless you,are you a special one ? If all else fails just divert from the facts and start name calling and asking the mods to ban the nasty Wigan poster, di dums.I wont expand my reasons as I have no need to do so to a keyboard warrior and mummies special boy, but I have faced 6 years of having my courage placed under scrutiny and a large proportion of this time facing real and prolonged danger which allows me to speak as I wish without fear of retribution from people who can not accept criticism whether justified or not,get over yourself boy.

really? you sure do talk the talk! but coward you are! i've not diverted from the facts and it has now become apparent you give as good as you take in the name calling stakes! boy i am certainly not! without lowering myself to your level i'd wager88888888888888888888888888? (edited after reflecting upon the AUP!)

this real and prolonged danger did it involve reading a couple of andy mcnab books?

One day.

Reilly was never going to catch him, he's 34 years old and plays for Oldham, so he had a good 28 miles to run before being able to catch him...

Also Cudjoe has said in the local rag that he hadnt realised Atkins was closing him down, but he wasnt running flat out as he wanted to enjoy the moment, fortunately he wasnt cantering either

Penny would have caught him with ease.

wow you sound dead hard are you the hardest in your year
