Hicks needs to ask himself some serious questions.
it was like i said after the match, you can attack somebodys head and get away with it, you do what miles did and get sent off, a certain leeds player does more dangerous stuff week in and week out and gets away with it,
I wonder if the knob would have run on waving his flag like mad had he been a TJ in this game as he does in Sooper Dooper league. He came on in the game on Saturday (Giants v Leeds) for a supposed "grapple tackle" round the neck.... was nothing at all, none of the commentators agreed with him!
If he had a Super League badge on his shirt he wouldn't have been sent off. If he had a Leeds or Saints crest, a penalty wouldn't have been given.
Edit - Having watched the video he does certainly swing his leg, the problem being he was facing towards the Doncaster defence and did seem to aim his kick towards the Doncaster player. Nevertheless I don't think it was a sending off and a penalty to the Dons would have been fair enough.
The club should push for the sending off to be chalked off never mind sending off sufficient.

like ive said before, in no way did he swing his leg as hard as Hicks demonstrates.
Im sure after the game, the ref dissapeared into the toilets & reinacted a Gareth Cheeseman moment! (for all you Steve Coogan fans out there! )
Taking out webster after a kick i recall....might have been with his head tho hey
The miles incident is just bizarre, it's like not playing the ball properly, the ref could be left with a 7's game by the end if he wanted to be that pedantic, but it didnt effect the game, and he wont be banned so we should just move on..

RFL say which kit teams wear for games.Some teams e.g.Haven are allowed to get away with two kits that are very similar so it doesn't matter which one they wear it clashes.This has happened in previous years and we have had to play in our AWAY kit at home because our home kit clashes with their away kit.Next year we should ahve 2 blue and white kits that are slighlty different and see what happens.Jan 2010 message from RFL -sorry you can't have 2 kits so similar cos they will clash with Haven,Barrow etc when you play away so you will have to have an away kit a different colour
