There was no broken cheek bone or anything broken at all. Check out the Wildcats own website. He's playing next week. He got a knock and that's all. Cunningham was given the benefit of the doubt by the RFL in terms of his intent, and intent plays a major role in whether or not someone should receive a ban (which I think is fair enough).
The whole thing was a big drama. It didn't look much when I saw it on the Superleague Show and seemingly it didn't look much because it wasn't much!
(Cunningham got a formal caution, incidentally - which is on his record for three months I think)
