Disciplinary put back until Thursday,due to him having concussion????

We're surely not trying a "temporary insanity" defence?

Pencils up nostrils time.

How did he get concussion? Surely that tackle late on Friday can't have made contact with his head, or the ref would have seen it and penalised Cas?

He read on here that someone said he had a great game, fell off his chair and whacked his head on the floor

FC's website says Long "received a series of blows to the head during Friday night’s clash against Castleford Tigers and he is still suffering the after affects of the knock." In for a penny, in for a pound on this one, it seems.

A strategic counter-attack, we can presume. They're not backing down on this one. And rightly so.

Brilliant

In fairness, Nicklas is currently out for the season, and Cunningham dislocated his shoulder shortly after his debut last season.

Never realised it was his only ever red card. That surely should go in his favour.

Reckon that puts to bed the theory that this is just a smokescreen exercise.

It was only the [isleepwalkers[/i who were suggesting otherwise Kosh.

He plays for Hull FC you know!

I forgot! Bugger!

What are you talking about - "smokescreen exercise"? Who mentioned one of those?

I said it was a counter-attack. I.e. Hull are alluding pointedly to Long's (genuine) concussion and are emphasising the fact that it was caused seconds before his strike by an unpunished head-high blow. I presume that they are doing this to force the committee to look at the severity of the previous incident and thereby give Long a case for mitigating circumstances. Those being a) the concussion affecting his judgement when he went into the tackle and b) the injustice and inconsistency once again of the idiot Child.

A logical strategy and a just one imo. But please, don't let that stop you jumping pompously down people's throats any more. It's hardly your inaugural attempt, is it?

Illness????

Head injury induced.

Concussion. See previous page, but be careful how you comment on it

Calm down - it wasn't aimed at you. Not sure why you'd think it was TBH.



Take a look through the various threads and you'll see some of the usual suspects using that exact phrase.

worth a try to rationalise his actions i guess.

Or possibly the truth.

I consider myself pretty cynical but at times the level on here beggars belief.

A bang on the head is what most of our players have needed this season to wake them up. I see included in that statement Longy!!

'Cos you quoted me?

Ok, I'll raise your "pompous" with my own "paranoid judgementation". Pax.
