How did he stay on the pitch? Not even put on report, complete joke.

Thaler had his back to the incident and never saw it - but how the touch judges missed it I have no idea

The joke is that whilst they were debating it interminably, and clearly trying to guess what had happened, it was being shown over and over on the big screen behind them.

Crookes will get a bigger punishment than Seymour, and rightly so.

Wonder whether Seymour would rather have a punch to the face or be dropped on his neck?

So reacting to a tackle which could have broken his neck is out of order. Behave.

Crookes? For what? Having the temerity not to break his neck?
Naughty boy.

He landed flat on his back.

Great tackle, momentum, position, body weight, made it look bad!!

Crookes went unpunished for throwing punches, a sending off offence, get over it.........................

Correct.

I thought throwing punches was a sending off offence?

Do you know where your neck is in relation to your back?

Correct again.

Poor decision by Thaler, was a crowd motivated backtracking of a good decision.

Seymour's upending of the opponent wasn't a spear tackle, unfortunately the tackled player's legs were higher than his head at one point and that's an automatic penalty but let's not get carried away here, it was nowhere near a spear tackle. The big screen replays showed Seymour on the receiving end of a few punches and his head bleeding afterwards.

So if the officials took that into consideration, you might have a bit more to moan about.

Ah right, so everytime a Rugby player lands on his back it's an attempt to break his neck? Give it a rest.

No, the players legs have to be lifted over the horizontal by the offending player, which they wasn't.

Yes well done, you can put words in someones mouth.


So everytime a Hull player does a spear tackle its just a great tackle? Give it a rest.

A spear tackle that has the player land flat on his back?

I've heard it all now.

Read those two sentences again.
Hypocrisy.

Spot on

nothing to answer for IMO, total stupidity for lashing out and the bad reaction.....

A thred for this?? Honestly.......

I doubt he's intelligent enough to realise.

So if you lot think it's not okay to throw punches, why was Briscoe still on the field?

Flat? So you're suggesting the whole of his back hit the floor, the tackle wasn't even slightly dangerous, and Crookes just lashed out for nothing?

I think it's the logical answer that a player with no history of being a 'fighter' punched a player who he'll probably be playing with next season just for the sake of it, not because he'd been tackled dangerously.

I see you're clearly not intelligent enough to see that it was done on purpose.

I'm not suggesting it, I'm stating it as fact.

In all fairness Hull fans, if this was the other way round you would be complaining just as much, don't take the moral high ground.

We are all crazy biased fans at the end of the day.

Why's that then? And please don't tell me it was when he pushed Elima!
