at the end of the day this is about a guy who stamped, stood, whatever you want call it on Fielden. Yet not many Gaints fans can get past their bias and admit that its was wrong and he deserves a ban. What this has to do with Lockers I dont know and just shows how baised you are that your trying to justify Mason by your hatred of Lockers. Not an overreaction just simpley saying it how it is. If im biased then it really doesnt say much for you.

We'll go with the RFL then, standing

2-3 games

Seasons 2009 and season 2010 to date

Up before the RFL

Mason 10 times (various offences)..........1 £300 fine

O Loughlin 11 times(mainly head high or grapple)......Nothing


Pretty even on appearances, your boy seems very lucky when hes up before em

I havent defended him. Ive seen several times were I think some of our players have been lucky to get away with it. I just wish fans of other clubs could say the same. IMO the disciplinary is rather too weak in Superleague.

Well ive got it at 15mins 37 and all I can see is fighting after Mason stamps on Fielden!! Its about 1 min later and even Faalogo doesnt react as its not intentional he would have to be talented to be holding a bloke that big and re adjust to stand on his hand!!

While we are on it if Mason and Fielden get 10 for fighting why does Griffin stay on??

He's defending his himself incase Fielden accidentally connects with someone. Fortunately Fielden had his eyes closed and missed everyone.

Or incase Mason decides to come in from hiding at the back!! Or maybe Lawrence stops trying to tickle Hansen with a cheap shot to the kidneys!!!

Haven't made any comment regarding O'Loughlin at all. Haven't defended Mason's treading on Fielden. So this supposed bias I am displaying highlighted via these comments I haven't made which is you apparently 'saying how it is' are in reality a nice little snippet of your own bias that you apparently do not have!

Like I say, LOLalicious!

He ran straight at Fielden, how much more front on do you want

Neither Mason nor O'Loughlin have been "up before the RFL" that many times. Having an incident reviewed on the Monday morning is not being "up before the the RFL".

You got the drift which was my point, couldnt be bothered going thru any charges that did arise.

Surely it making the review is going up before them regardless of further action

I actually said at half time when i saw it again on the screen that Mase would be in trouble for that !!

As for saying he hid - wot tosh - Mase ran in, shoved him and then stood right in front of Fielden waiting for his reaction and then they got it on - hardly running away is it ?

Griffin will be lucky to escape a ban because he joined in something that didn't involve him, a la [url=http://www.therfl.co.uk/about/disciplinary_item.php?id=471McCarthy-Scarsbrook[/url last year. 1-2 matches, although his previous record may not help him.

Mason should get at least 2 for the stand-on, more if his previous record is taken into account. I expect Fielden will get one match, but due to the aggravation involved (being stood on and then Griffin getting involved) and previous good record, I won't be surprised if he gets just a fine.

Brown was stupid to do that ankle tap in front of the referee. Nothing "malicious" in it, but I thought Professional fouls were supposed to be an instant red?

If you watch the footage of the incident from the camera behind the play you see Richards dummy towards Tomkins right before Brown ankle taps him. From the angle Tomkins was running this move is unsighted by Bentham.

It goes someway to explain why it happened.

Well, it's understandable, but I'm not sure "I thought he was going to get the ball" would stand up under scrutiny.

Kevin Brown isn't a dirty player, either. In fact, all your ex-Wigan contingent (who combined brilliantly for Robinson's try) learnt their trade well at Wigan, all of them are good, clean, quality players.

I think it would also be fair to say Tansey's in for the roughest ride tomorrow...

A profeesional foul is a yellow card not a red.

Mason is looking at at least a couple of games. But you talk about his previous record. This is his fourth season at the Giants and the only time i remember him in any trouble was for fighting Peacock in a pre season friendly. He is nothing like as dirty as people are making out.
Griffin should be ok. If he ran in to fight he would be in trouble but he was right next to Fielden when the trouble started. You could easily have cited a couple more players from each side for running in (Riddell can clearly be seen throwing a punch)

Yes your right!!

Hopefully Mason will get the same justice.

If it aint 2 matches minimum then there really is something wrong

I agree Gahan, but the RFL have set a precedent above, and thats how the law works.

The RFL need to be much firmer in handing out bans, but then again Refs need to be much firmer in waving red cards too IMO.

Not when most of the reviews for both ended up with no action whatsoever. Loads of things get looked at where there's nothing untoward - that's hardly a basis on which to try and make a point.

I just wish to point out that 11 fans is not 'loads' of fans to a club like Wigan RL. In fact, it's barely any to be concerned about. However, I forgive you for your confusion, as to a club like Huddersfield RL 11 fans is a vociferous following in that neck of the woods hence the above comment & the confusion following it.

Hope I've cleared that one up.

11 fans in that shot. The camera's then concentrated on matters on the field as the stadium thinned out.

Mason 3 games,Griff and feilden got 1.
