During the game Stevo was calling for sin binnings, then afterwards commended Bentham for not sin binning players



Bentham may have sorted it in the end but he caused it in the first place by letting it get to the level it did without nipping it in the bud.

Sounds about right.

I don't know why we're surprised at what the commentators come out with. They do have a tendancy to get caught in the moment

I was miffed at that one too

I don't think Andy Farrell would agree.

Why not and why do you think you're in a position to speak for him?

That pretty much sums it up for me and sums up Bentham too.

Is this some sort of guessing game? OK then, I think he would.

It goes back to the game at the JJB June in 2004 when a Leeds player re-arranged Farrells nose.

Farrell came back on heavily bandaged, and who should greet him with a high tackle straight onto his nose but Diskin.

Farrell was already held in the tackle by the way when the Diskin cheap shot came in.

I hope it jogs your memory.

Remember that well. Farrell held it all together for Wigan that season. Immense, he was.

FFS

You're lucky, it's normally about the 1970s.

That's all you've got? One tackle, five years ago?

Overwhelming body of evidence you've assembled there Rumpole.

I think that should be filed with bentham's"you tackled him too hard ryan"!!

It was in response to I don't think Andy Farell would agree, and I gave an explanation.

It appears no one has defended Diskin though, or maybe he was young and exuberant



But if you want real cowardly little houses, I give you Mr. Keith Hepworth.

You found One tackle from 5 years ago, tell me how many pro's have gone 5 years without committing a single high tackle? and if that makes Diskin a dirty player then what are your opinions on Sean O'Loughlin

Topical. Don't tell me, you can remember a high shot from 1972?

It's the one from 1970 in the Challenge Cup Final before he came to Leeds, the worst I have ever seen.

Ask some of "the more mature" posters on here about it.

One of the best HBs this country has had.

Fair enough - it's before my time. Who was on the receiving end?

Mature posters: anyone remember this tackle?

O'Loughlin has never been sent off or brought before the disciplinary.

Next.

Is this Diskins first offence?

Warning letter sent?

I'm not sure.

As I'm not if Diskin has previous.

I suppose I could check the RFL site.

Thanks for that, can't remember asking that question but thanks anyway.

Diskin has previous but not for a 'chicken wing.'
