Total sugbag - this POS shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a rugby pitch as long as he draws breath.

I'd say a disrepute charge offers a tribunal the chance to atone for it's earlier error.

I'm a fan of the biff. I'm not a fan of that sort of rubbish. I can't remember ever having seen anything like that on a professional pitch before, and it needs dealing with properly. How long did Jon Hopoate get for his, ahem, digital indiscretion?

Disgrace.

But it's refreshing to see someone come out and say 'look i tried to break his leg' instead of the usual yawn-fest statements.

I think he was inspired by Blatter in the last part of his statement.

Frankly it's an unnecessary statement to make, as the intent was obvious to everyone who saw it.

That his "punishment" is to sit out a couple of friendlies he probably would have been rested for anyway reflects badly on the sport IMO.

I posted this on the Wigan forum

Regarding Isaac Luke's remarkable confession
I wonder what both Phil Clarke and his rugby gods will make of this?

Will he even bother to make a big issue of it?

If he doesn't it is clearly double standards IMO
