Let's face it, in league players do all they can to avoid going off with a blood injury - look at Luke Robinson recently with that cut above his eye and he was still trying to feed the scrum.

Clearly we should all enjoy the fact that Union is once again the poor relation when it comes to the toughest code.

Maybe a T Shirt idea - Union players hide blood pills to get off the pitch, League Players hide real blood to stay on!!

I'm sure Pemps could come up with something.

I am not sure just what the current state of play is as regards sanctions to be placed on Quins RU but there has been talk of them being booted out of the Heineken Cup or even top flight competition completely.

I doubt they would go that far but we should not be so quick to laugh as this could affect the RL side in that aren't they both part of the same company?

Has anyone read any of the 30-odd page appeal? I read bits and pieces of it, mainly because I seem to have missed all this, but in the middle of that the player states that he was forced to attend a weekend of training with the Harlequins Rugby League side to toughen him up





As for the whole incident, it's pretty shocking, but I've no sympathy after that t*sser of a PR guy tried to say it was going on in League first. What a pathetic thing to say! "Those poor northen boys started it mummy, we thought it was OK"

I saw that too


Funny how on Monday his captain said that the whole squad were behind Williams and believed and trusted him. Yet on Wednesday the same captian was questioning Williams acoount of events after the player dragged the CEO and another board member into it.


Completely irrelevant yet Sky Sports carried that line. They are fast turning into the Daily Star of television.
