No.HTH

It depends if it is Cunningham rules or stuff Quins time. I know where my money is!

Don't you mean Peacock rules? He got off with a terrible (and illegal) tackle on a Catalans player just before the international with France (since he was England captain). The player was stretchered off. Anyone else would have had to serve a ban for that. There was no injury at all to Stosic and he was due to play for Wakey at the weekend, which I assume he did since I haven't heard any hysteria from that direction lately.

I think you will find that Stosic had a fractured eye socket.

He only had a fractured eye socket in peoples imagination go and read the Wakefield Official site he played against Cas on Sunday.

Sky Sports reported him as in the playing squad despite a fractured eye socket on Sunday morning.

To be fair, he went for a scan on the Saturday and was given the all clear, nothing wrong with him, which was only released by the Wakefield site after the verdict on Cunningham had been given, which could have been construed as deliberately misleading the disciplinary. After a word in the ear, Wakey said that Stosic did actually have a 'slight' fracture. Read into that what you may.

As for the slam, I thought the incident was definately worthy of a penalty during the match, but I would have to watch it again to decide on whether a ban is warranted. Certainly looked quite a nasty tackle/ technique, not malicious however, just wrong technique.

Quote ="Paddock Punter"No charge - warning letter www.therfl.co.uk/about/disciplin ... hp?id=1278'" Not so PP, go to the next page......there were two charges against Clubb, the one for a tackle on Eastmond still stands. Given he has had 2 issues in one match and how the RFL normally treat Quins, he will be lucky to get off with a warning...........but you will be pleased to know that Cunningham got off with a warning for his high shot on Temata (so everything in RFL land is fine and dandy).

Well, if it was reckless rather than intentional....it should receive the same sanction as Kieron Cunningham fracturing a players cheek bone with "an accidental push".....therefore Clubb should get a warning letter.

Won't happen though!!!

Realised that a bit later - don't hold your breath for good news from Red Hall this evening.

I noticed Cunningham wasn't put up for his 'lazy arm' tackle in the first half.
Anyone else remember what i'm talking about?
Where he seems to run in, swings the arm to tackle the man, if that wasn't intent I don't know what is.

Those type of tackles happen week in week out, in both the amateur leagues and pro rugby. First contact is with ball, and the force of contact promotes the arm up into the face of the opposition player. Penalty sufficient, it's not intentional, it's the laws of physics and force, if you'd ever played the sport you'd know that they happen. Certainly worthy of a penalty but nothing more.

No.
Not that incident.
Seeing how it wasn't even picked up by the officals(surprise, surprise), it couldn't of been this incident.

2 game ban for Clubb.

nothing on the rfl site yet.......

HTH

Well I was wrong about Him getting shot or was that later

How comes I'm not surprised by this verdict!!!

Would you believe that 1 month ago we were the cleanest team in the league?

Ridiculous decision

Merchant Bankers

This is a disgrace. The RFL is a joke. RL will forever stay a back water sport that'll never grow beyond the handful of toothless goons that watch it down here or the miserable northerns who watch it up there if the game continues to be run the way it is.

Just out of curiosity anyone remember when wellsi was "DDTed" and knocked out cold and the ref blew for us knocking on...

I would have walked the team off the field during that first half and only gone back out on the field when someone decided to play league and not whatever it was that rookie bum, who should never be allowed to officiate again, but no doubt will (against us) was calling.

The RFL certainly doesn't do its credibility any favours with a lottery style disciplinary system which seems to be loaded in favour of certain clubs. But then a truly open, consistent and transparent system would see the RFL lose a lot of discretionary power.

What a joke the RFL are, we are one of the cleanest teams in the league but they hit us hard whenever the opportunity presents itself.

How many times has Peacock deliberately laid into an opponent this year with fists flying......but no action taken.

How many times have you seen a bit of biff start and players running in from both sides......but no action of note taken.

Cunningham (RFL love child) deliberately punches an opponent in the face.....but is deemed an accident (RFL have to make sure he is available for Saints end of season run-in).......no action taken.

Whereas with Quins

Catalan v Quins.......biff starts late in the game, 3 Quins players banned (think it was 2-3 weeks) for running in, but only Mogg banned for Catalan. Further Quins player also banned from same game for poor tackle.

Howell lashes out (idiot) at Wigan....no real connect.....in fact Howell comes off worst. Result, Howell banned for 3 weeks, Wigan players running in (see above), no action taken.

Clubb tackles latest Saints hero.......gets banned for 2 weeks....tackle is clumsy on pint sized dwarf, but RFL deem it deliberate (see above re Peacock and Cunningham deliberate acts)

Do you see a pattern forming here??????

Did Clubbs poor tackle really warrant a 2 match ban? A penalty was given and the guy was not hurt, a 1 match ban would have been more than sufficient. It was a `nothing` incident. RFL must be feeling pretty pleased with themselves this morning.

What a pile of c**p.
