Ah but that's different as he plays for Wigan.

If Lee Smith can get away with murder (

) before last years Grand Final, then Leon and Kieron have absolutely nothing to worry about

Leon is Teflon coated nothing ever sticks but KC is riding his luck a bit just lately and any request to appear on a charge would have a lot of peps sweating me thinks...



We a sweating on a few injuries..Webb JJB and Corners(Bailey)

Ali too

Over the yeas KC has got away with plenty, I would "love it" (KC) if he got a ban.

Brian, your season is over mate. Come back in March

By which time you'll be an old married b*gg*r.


Good luck.

Sorry I missed you yesterday. See you both in Edinburgh.

Feel free to start your season then, we'll be starting ours in February.

No, but Brent Webb should be for the exact same offence, (but, slightly worse in my opinion), on Duport, ( I think), after one of Les Cats tries.
Webb deffo went in intentionally to use his knees into the ribs, but I don't think it will get picked up on because it never got mentioned at the time.

I don`t think he went in with the intention of hitting him in the ribs at all.
He went in trying (badly) to dislodge the ball.
Neither Pryce nor Webb have a case to answer in my opinion just poor technique

Despite a bit of overhype from Stevo (saw him yesterday at the Championship Finals - he's lost a stck of weight too) i don't think anyone will have themselves a week off.

Had Wigan won Coley wouldn't have even been banned for his attempt to pull Gilmour's head off.

You would have to commit a 2 footed "drop kick" to the head or chicken wing someone till his arm came off to even appear before the panel in a finals week, all teams have benefitted from the lax-ness in the past, it is a bit of a joke but while they are consistent no-one is going to complain enough to change it.

Nothing in the Coley tackle, hit his chest first and the arm bounced up. Warning letter at most IMO.

Apart from pulling him back by ther head i'd agree with you the impact started low, i just meant that it was probably the most unsavory incident of the night and he'd not have found himself in hot water.

Having a giraffe?

Cunningham should be banned.

Pryce committed his slide before Richards had [idefinitely[/i re-gathered the ball, I'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt. I'd expect him to get a warning letter though.

BTW, both Cunningham and Tomkins have been on the disciplinary list 8 times this year. Cunningham's consist of 5 for high tackles or strikes, receiving 1 formal caution (Stosic), and 1 charge reduced to "No apparent foul play". Tomkins has 3 reduced to no foul play, 1 sin binning for dissent (which doesn't count as foul play), 3 warning letters (2 for "undue pressure on knees", 1 for doing effectively what Pryce did) and a fine for kicking out in the Challenge Cup.

No charges for any of them. Details straight from RFL Disciplinary pages...

Name Keiron Cunningham
Incident considered High tackle in 62nd minute (Coley)
Decision No charge
Details of Charge / Reason for NF Initial contact with chest of opponent, slides up to neck/jaw of opponent, penalty and on field caution sufficient

Name Leon Pryce
Incident considered Kick/contact with feet with opponent in process of scoring try in 70th minute (Richards)
Decision No charge
Details of Charge / Reason for NF Player attempts to kick loose ball, benefit of doubt not attempting contact with opponent

Name Jon Wilkin
Incident considered High tackle in 75th minute (Phelps)
Decision No charge
Details of Charge / Reason for NF Opponent dipping into contact, initial contact with shoulder of opponent, rides up to face, worthy of penalty

Bailey and Webb have also escaped any reprimand for their Grapple Tackle and Use of Kness respectively.

As opposed to just being old eh ?



Take it you were in The George ? Only headed out lateish and we needed food so had to duck in the Counting house for a couple !

See you at Murrayfield Magic if not before, same digs great place.

Technicality.

So Cunningham doesn't even get called up for his elbow on Tomkins?

Substance use, punching and fracturing eye sockets, high tackles, flying elbows, swinging arms... Cripes, all he has to do is kill someone then he really will get away with murder.

The disciplinary panel should be ashamed of themselves.

Too many lemons?

Hows your ulcer

Apparently you're still right here.

And all that translates to is whah whah whah whah it's not fair our season is over and we've won nothing AGAIN.

i'm glad that pryce and cunningham are free as expected to play in the gf,as neither incident warranted a ban imo
