Why on earth would you ask a Leeds player that?

Surely something along the lines of 'How's the preparation for the semis coming along Carl? We want you at full strength, after all'.

Cos I'd like to watch and listen to him squirm, before I banned him for 6

Is that you commenting on O'Loughlin's tackle on Robinson!

If Ablett gets banned then I look forward to seeing O'Loughlin, Colley and Joel Tomkins appearing at HQ and banned for their head hunting technique and not just sent poxy warning letters.

Beware of what you wish for Pie Boy!

Yeah, coz their efforts were obviously as bad as Ablett's weren't they?

I have slowed down and watched the leeds first try and guess what it's not a try. Gaffer does it again

The difference is Newton jumped 6" of the ground & had his elbow horizontal at his own head height, away from his body, there could be no other target than Thackray's head . Ablett's forearm was vertical tucked into his body with his elbow near his waste. There was no similarity between the 2. Having said all that, it was a terrible tackle but not malicious IMO, he has no form as far as I am aware. One that probably deserves 1 match, but I wouldn't complain if he got 3.

What!!



Did you see O'Loughlin's shot on Robinson at the Magic weekend. Ask Nathane Brown's opinion. Didn't see the Pie Eaters asking for Shirley Temple to be banned for life.

Didn't see us complaining about Colley's spear tackle in the CC game.

Two wrongs do not make a right but you and the Pie Eaters need to get some perspective.

11 and counting

another deluded whinoes to55et

How far we going back here? Did you see Barrie McDermott punching Stuart Fielden? It was a shocker.

I was talking about this one game. I don't give a t0ss about past games, we were talking about the recent one. Previous stuff has already been discussed and dealt with.

Tigertot had it right I think. With the lack of previous, 1 or 2 matches would be fair.

Take the blue and yellow tints off for a bit.

We're only going back to May of this season for goodness sake.

Ablett's tackle was reckless at best and as such deserves a ban.

I have never said I have a problem with Ablett getting a ban, but if he does, Iut want to see that reflected across the board in the future, either for or against my team. Some how I have no confidence that the Disciplinary will oblige. I also want the Pie Eaters to remember what a cheap shot Shirley Temple did and consider their reactions to that. Have no confidence with that either.

Lockers was chest high as pictures posted on rlfans proved. He hit him late though thats why is was deemed penalty sufficient. Tomkins was hit on the jaw with the right forearm.....so your point even isnt valid

Late and high! Terry O'Connor's words not mine. Suggest you watch it on Youtube!

Different when your player's called.

You forgot to add 'My dad's bigger than your dad@.

As you and a few other Rhinos are proving methinks.

If O connor says so it must be true



No need to watch it again there were pictures on it at the time and it shows arms to the chest

Some of you may find this interesting given the "positive spin" by various poster on this thread.Thought it may be worthwhile highlighting what the RFL thought of it . . . . . seems they didn't agree with those posters news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 880667.stm Three matches. £300 fine. Personally, I suspect an appeal will follow swiftly. Bailey got a caution . . . .

Reckless is a good description.

Appeal turned down. 3 match ban remains.

Do you have a link, can't find it.

Ask and ye shall receive

Many thanks, it wasn't there when i last looked.

can you give me £500?

Ask and ye shall be told where to go

AND a further £200 "fine" for appealing (towards cost of appeal) which is a tad harsh IMHO. . . . . . but funny



"Yes, certainly sir. You can appeal and we'll review the original decision"
"Yup. We agree that was right decision"
"That'll be £200 please, Sir"

I'm surprised he appealed. I wonder exactly what his grounds for appeal were?
