Don't worry, you're not the first person to try the 'I bet he could still batter you' piffle. You may be right, you may not. Neither of us will ever know.


I know your backtracking.

At the game yesterday I thought it was an poor tackle and I'm quite willing to let the disciplinary have look and will go with their findings. They are far more experienced with this than you or I.


Can’t argue with that, incidentally Rogues, my specs are black and white, so hardly biased :D

It worked for Robert Hicks.

I also thought it was a bad one at the game. Despite the online furore, having seen the video I can understand why no action was taken on the day. It's clear that the direction of impact was with the natural bend of the knee and had he come in slower to get a squeeze on the legs u doubt anything would have been said. Coming in at the pace he did though was reckless and will probably pick up a ban. Not the worst I've seen by any stretch but he did punch someone 6 years ago so probably deserves 10 games or something..

The words "Robert Hicks" and "work" don't belong in the same sentence :D

Ah. That explains the snowflakery on behalf of DDD.

2 game ban for Flower

Partington is on a Grade D charge which has been referred to tribunal.

That prop rotation will be in full flow now.

On numerous occasions yesterday we had 2 players holding up an opponent whilst a third attacked the legs. I cringe every time I see it. Re Flower, his approx 10 metres gained yesterday won’t be missed imo.
