.... Indeed, October 2004 I was re-born. Wasn't the 14th Grand Final day? I am such a glory supporter!

I wasn't a fan of Adamson's decision to play but you have to take each case on its' own merits.

Firstly, Adamson was never a pivotal player in a key position, Sinfield is.

Adamsons' role could easily have been taken by someone else, I don't think Sinfield's can.

Would be foolish to risk serious, permanent injury to the face for the sake of a game, however big a game. This applies equally to Sinfield and Adamson.

Adamson was a shameless self promoter whose decision to play (at the expense of a team mate) was not some heroic effort for the betterment of the team.

so am i, and so's my wife

Are you sure you are a school teacher ?

Yeah I ave 2 get down with the kidz innit????

Given how proud you lot were of 'the biff' I guess none of you would object to your play off opponents giving him a sly dig or two? I mean, thats what league is all about isn't it?



He's bound to play in the play offs.

None at all, it's all part of the game just like getting under Graham's thin skin.

If Sinfield (or any player) takes to the field with a known injury it will be targetted by the opposition but let's not get carried away. Long played on Friday night with a known issue and survived.

No thanks to Gilmour

Made him (Long) look a tad psychotic...

Frankly it'd be a bit foolish not to at least ensure you rubbed the occasional forearm across it while "clearing the ruck" and I would be amazed if anything less happened. I would never advocate any sort of swinging arm whether a known facial injury existed or not, but a bit of roughing up is all part of the game. I'm sure if Sinfield takes the field with such an injury he will expect nothing less. I don't think anybody over the age of 14 is that naiive.

i wouldn't cry about it, wouldn't call you scumbags and would declare any hatred of you.

Nor would I storm off refusing to shake anyone's hand.

It's hard to be bitter when winning. But if said incident coincided with a defeat to Bradford and an exit from the playoffs I'm sure there would be a post or two about it

There would. They wouldn't be from me though.

What he said.

I'm 99% sure that Sinfield would shake hands afterwards, regardless of the result or the roughness of the treatment.

Sinfield is a legend leave him alone

Lovely reassuring email from the club regarding sinny. Bit of tissue damage, could be intention for friday

Matt Adamson, 2003 challenge cup final, played with a broken and pinned cheekbone and stitches in his face, lasted about ten minutes before taking some treatment on the floor in a tackle and left the field with blood pouring from a new wound on top of the old wound.

It was his stupid fault and could easily have left him blind, if Sinfield plays with a known injury and is targeted then in a similar vein it will be his choice, his fault if he is targeted, I would expect nothing less of an opposition.

psssssst, he's [url=http://www.therhinos.co.uk/news/7826.phpnot[/url injured

Alright, alright ! I've just read it !

You don't think I read all the rubbish on here do you ?

I expect you to read it, given your age, i don't expect you to remember it!

Wicked sista !!

If its in the correct context then no probs at all...it is a full contact sport after all.


Just so long as its not delivered from behind whilst he is not looking....

or from the front whilst two or three of the perpetrators pals hold his arms behind his back.....
