I'm not convinced Walmsley was up to it, big pudding comes to mind.

Yes i am, kind of. I have lost count of the number of matches I have watched that have gotten even better and faster following a bit of biff. I don't need to see the biff every week but occasionally it works wonders for a game

Sorry but elbowing a tackled player in the face isn't "silly" it's a dirty sh ithouse move and we'd not be describing it as such if another teams player did that to ours. I hope the club/Radford hand out internal discipline for things like that. i don't care if he's XX age, he's been playing the game at a serious level for a long while and to react like that over what is pretty standard stuff in rugby at most levels (a hand up to the face from the tackler which had hardly anything in it anyways) is totally unacceptable, it most definitely is not what we expect nor want grubby players at our club. I was surprised Radford only referred to it as a "brain fart", it wasn't, it was done with malicious intent, as I said i hope he's reprimanded internally for it. As for the late head high shoulder charge on Sneyd going unpunished, typical RFL BS, if you can't even get a sin-bin for it (proven by the SOL one last season wasn't it?) we might as well pack all the player safety in and state it's a free for all. The late knees to a defenceless player is yet more grubby sh ite we don't need in the game.

A " brain fart" is exactly what it was and hopefully he'll learn from the experience, something you find fairly difficult. I'm also not surprised that Radders has 'surprised' you, aren't you getting used to it by now? Mater can't continually keep wiping egg off your face, she should of used her elbow years ago.
