Radford did (for a grapple tackle), which is apparently now mandatory 10mins, which its why its somewhat odd that Brett Ferres managed to avoid getting binned for the same offence later in the 1st half.

Was that the "drag Lauaki by the neck" incident that we got a penalty for? Or something else?

On Long, I watched the replay on the Sat Sky game in slo-mo and it's pretty clear that he leads with a forearm/elbow. Childs picked him straight away, so no complaints really.

Long was walking before Chlds even got his card out, a terrible forearm, had the referee controlled the game better it wouldn't have happened, glad it didn't result in an injury for the Castleford player.

Spot on. Lost control very early and never got it back, hence at least 5 "brawls" of varying severity

From reading the papers today I think thats the one, was deffo on Lauaki.

Was right in front of us and was not good. Rightly we go the pen (I think) but, based on what Radders was binned for, that should have had the same result.

I see you took the bait and thats your problem, your always jumping to the wrong conclusion.

Wrong twice

I think you may have misunderstood my post. And not for the first time.

How in the wide wide world of sports do I misunderstand that ?

I'm only thankful he didn't make contact, imagine how long he would have been out for if he'd have dislocated his elbow again!!

it wouldn't bother me if I didn't see Long in B&W again in all honesty, as long as we could stop paying him too.

Long (D) and Isa (B) both charged

I don't know, but your response didn't make any sense otherwise.

Looks like an ill-disciplined game. Wonder why the ref didn't get on top of it

3 - 5 Matches for Long....

Don't understand why Long's is grade D but Tomkins against us was only grade B. Both players raised their elbow/forearms with a view to striking the opponent high the only difference being one had the ball and one didn't.

I tell you what Hull supporters think off Sean Long. answer nothing. On friday night I came away from the ground behind Sean Long and his girl friend, not 1 Hull supporter asked him for his autograph or said anything to him, they all ignored him.
Also why do Hull play arkward wingers who are all stero typed. Gareth rayner, mark Calderwood, Reece Lynn, Will Sharp.

There is one other important difference, Tomkins plays for Wigan. Lima is only grade B after he attempted to cripple a Leeds player.

Why would anyone be expected to ask a player for his autograph when said player had seen yellow and then seen red, I doubt Long would have responded well to the request.

Also, was Long [ireally[/i walking out just after the match with his girlfriend, what with him being married and also expected to stay after the game for the "press the flesh" events?

Where does he say "just after the match"? Some autograph hunters wait quite some time after the final whistle.

Iz it cos dey iz black?

It might have been his wife. Didn't realise he was married she looked a lot younger than him though.

If I was a professional RL player for 10+ years I'd expect my wife to look younger than me, even if she was ten years older!

Was Gleeson hiding?

I wouldn't expect autograph hunters to wait 18 months to get his autograph.
